Senior Industrial Engineer, Layouts

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

Anduril's Manufacturing Design Team is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to own and scale our central manufacturing layout capability and system. The Manufacturing Team is responsible for rapidly iterating and building cutting‑edge defense hardware — including static equipment, moving ground equipment, sensors, undersea, and flight vehicles — and scaling these products across our production footprint, including our new 5M sq ft manufacturing facility, Arsenal‑1.

Within Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering delivers layout design as an internal service: enterprise‑grade production layouts that define where and how products are built — from cell and line configurations through material flow paths to full facility arrangements. Done right, layouts de‑risk production ramps, eliminate waste in material handling and operator movement, maximize throughput per square foot, and give leadership a single, trusted spatial reference for every capital, capacity, and footprint decision.

This role sets the standard for how that capability is architected, maintained, and consumed across the company, in close collaboration with Facilities, Real Estate, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Program Management, and Business Operations.

This is not a "draw a layout and move on" role. We are looking for a senior engineer who can demonstrate holistic ownership of Anduril's factory layout capability as a durable, enterprise‑wide asset — one that lives for years, absorbs changes as production systems evolve, and is trusted by leadership to make fast / efficient / standard facility, capital, and capacity decisions.

The right person thrives in a fast‑paced, resource‑limited environment, is flexible to change and ambiguity, and can act as the connective tissue among operational stakeholders to bring a production system forward.

The mandate is bigger than any single layout. Anduril operates across multiple sites with diverse product lines at varying maturity stages — conditions where ad‑hoc layouts drawn in PowerPoint or disconnected CAD files create confusion, rework, and missed opportunities. You will decide how layouts are created, versioned, maintained, stored / "libraried", and consumed so that "where does this line go?", "how much floor space do we need for rate?",

and "what's the material flow path?" become queries against a maintained, centralized system — not one‑off drawings that go stale the week they're delivered.

Beyond the production floor, the preferred candidate has experience or connection to overall facility design — building shell, infrastructure integration, dock and staging areas, material flow, utility routing, and the interface between manufacturing layout and the physical plant. You will work hand‑in‑hand with Facilities and Real Estate to ensure that production layouts and building infrastructure are designed as an integrated system, not in isolation.

• Own Anduril's enterprise manufacturing layout capability as a long-lived, foundational asset — architecting it for maintainability, extensibility, and organizational adoption rather than single-use drawings. Work closely with IT and Tech Teams to integrate into existing business systems.
• Design production line and workstation layouts for both low-rate and full-rate production using a data-driven approach, incorporating cell design, flow configuration, material staging, operator movement, and…
