Requirements
  • 2+ years of experience in a high-rate manufacturing environment in either a production or supply chain-type role where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built with heavy data utilization
  • Experience managing and organizing large capex budgets - Creation of a Standard Capex approval process
  • Factory design and set up - Value Stream mapping, Flow lines, continuous flow, one piece flow, workstation design
  • Material Flow - designing how material flow around a facility, pull systems, Kanban, Min/ max calculations, Part presentation to operator, Tote bin packaging, lineside racking
  • Digital Systems - experience of using Siemens 'Plant Simulation', 'Process Simulation' software to model a production line and run production scenarios
  • Demonstrated ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, coordinating among multiple different internal and external parties to achieve on-time deliveries under stringent quality standards
  • Prior knowledge and interaction with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) for production operations
  • Prior knowledge of Oracle or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
  • Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles/implementation
  • Subject matter expert in material flow systems
  • Ability to demonstrate a willingness to take on substantial responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations functions with a bias towards speed and accuracy
  • Strong technical ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and CAD data, understanding of a variety of hardware manufacturing processes for both electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, etc.) and structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
  • Ability to travel internationally and domestically up to 25% of the time
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in industrial, mechanical/aerospace/manufacturing engineering
  • 4+ years past experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment in either a production or supply chain-type role where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built
  • Experience in operations simulation software (Siemens/PlantSim/ProcessSim)
Responsibilities
  • Own metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring inventory movement and accuracy, such as the financial impacts to operations and business as a whole
  • Produce and maintain tools and reports to communicate the health of manufacturing operations across products both to Manufacturing leads and across the organization
  • Own the design of new production lines and workstation layouts, both for low rate and full-rate production, leveraging a data-driven approach using tools such as Value Stream Mapping/ Process Mapping/ Line Balancing techniques
  • Proactively identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by line layout, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality and drive to resolution
  • Own the reporting and analysis of manufacturing health and ensure that stakeholders have the inputs they need to make decisions across Engineering (cut-in dates for new designs), Supply Chain (signals on what to buy), Manufacturing (signals on being clear-to-build and what to build), and Growth (supply overview to drive customer contracts)
  • Implement solutions that provide local benefit but also scale to global business
  • Solutions should be robust, and poka-yoke known issues from occurring in the future
  • Identify small inefficiencies that occur thousands of times a day as well as lead major projects with executive visibility

Anduril Industries develops advanced autonomous systems for military and security purposes, focusing on providing solutions to government and commercial clients, particularly in the defense sector. The company's main product is the Lattice platform, a software system that integrates various autonomous vehicles for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. This platform enables seamless operation of air, land, and sea vehicles, ensuring effective performance in challenging environments. Anduril's product range includes autonomous air systems like the Roadrunner and Fury, as well as underwater vehicles such as the Dive LD, which are designed for various operational needs. Unlike many competitors, Anduril emphasizes continuous innovation and integration of new technologies to maintain its edge in the defense technology market. The company's goal is to enhance defense capabilities by providing integrated security solutions that operate across multiple domains.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Anduril's recent $1.4 billion funding round at a $14 billion valuation underscores strong investor confidence and provides substantial capital for R&D and expansion.
  • The company's expansion plans, including new manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and Rhode Island, signal significant job creation and growth opportunities.
  • Selection by the U.S. Air Force for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program highlights Anduril's strategic importance and potential for long-term government contracts.

What critics are saying

  • The defense sector's reliance on government contracts can lead to revenue volatility due to changing political and budgetary priorities.
  • Rapid expansion and scaling, such as the planned new facilities, may strain operational capabilities and lead to potential execution risks.

What makes Anduril unique

  • Anduril's Lattice platform uniquely integrates air, land, and sea autonomous systems, providing a seamless and comprehensive ISR solution unlike any other in the defense market.
  • The company's focus on advanced autonomous systems and AI-driven solutions sets it apart from traditional defense contractors who rely on conventional technologies.
  • Strategic partnerships, such as with Rheinmetall for anti-drone systems, enhance Anduril's capabilities and market reach, distinguishing it from competitors.
