About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in engineering is required.
  • At least 3 years of experience in a high-rate supply chain or manufacturing environment building complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies with heavy data utilization.
  • Ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and computer-aided design data, and understand hardware manufacturing processes for electronics (including printed circuit board assemblies and sensor hardware), structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems.
  • Ability to travel up to 25% of the time.
  • Must be able to relocate, if not already local, to work onsite in Costa Mesa, California.

Responsibilities

  • Work across multiple programs from development to full-rate production to scale solutions that align with manufacturing-process maturity.
  • Identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality, and drive them to resolution.
  • Own metrics, key performance indicators, and reporting used to monitor production-line health and efficiency, including cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy.
  • Conduct time studies of current and developing processes to ensure efficiency across warehouse and operations.
  • Develop processes to optimize workplans for highly variable demands across multiple sites.
  • Translate tools and reports into actionable tasks that improve warehouse operations across processes and sites.
  • Produce and maintain tools to increase the accuracy of work demand for new facilities and maturing processes using data-driven methods such as value stream mapping, process mapping, and line-balancing techniques.
  • Implement incremental improvements on the warehouse floor and iterate them to improve operations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience using Siemens Plant Simulation, Visual Components, or process simulation software to model a production line and run production scenarios.
  • Experience with department or factory design and setup, including value stream mapping, flow lines, continuous flow, one-piece flow, and workstation design.
  • Ability to own a value chain from start to finish, measure each process step, and create actionable tasks that produce significant and sustainable business improvement.
  • Demonstrated ability to present project results to cross-functional teams and clearly relate data to proposed next steps.
  • Prior experience with a Manufacturing Execution System for production operations or a Warehouse Management System.
  • Prior knowledge of NetSuite, Oracle, or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning system.
  • Experience implementing Lean Manufacturing principles to improve manufacturing productivity.
  • Experience delivering successful projects through hands-on process work, including gemba walks, operational analysis, and poka-yoke solutions to help teams succeed without substantial capital expenditure.
  • Experience interacting with SQL databases, including storing information and building custom queries for production and inventory-related metrics.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
