Senior Industrial Engineer, Layouts

Andurils 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 Andurils 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 whats the material flow path become queries against a maintained centralized system not one-off drawings that go stale the week theyre 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 Andurils 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 ergonomic considerations rooted in IE tradition.
• Establish and maintain a centralized layout repository the single source of truth for all production layouts across sites that integrates with Facilities Real Estate and infrastructure planning so building shell decisions and production floor decisions are made from the same spatial model.
• Build and curate a centralized CAD shape library of standard manufacturing elements (workbenches tables cabinets tool storage chairs racks conveyors carts etc.) so that every layout across the organization uses consistent dimensionally accurate components reducing layout creation time and ensuring visual and spatial consistency.
• Define the enterprise standards for layout creation: file formats naming conventions layer structures revision control approval workflows and the entrenched business processes that ensure layouts are created reviewed updated and archived consistently across all sites and business lines.
• Deploy those standards across the organization selecting and implementing the tools software and mechanisms needed training layout consumers and contributors and building the governance structure that keeps the system healthy as the organization scales.
• Support facility-level layout planning for new buildings expansions and site reconfigurations working with Facilities Real Estate and infrastructure partners to integrate manufacturing floor plans with building shell design utility routing dock placement aisle widths column spacing and overhead clearance.
• Proactively identify spatial bottlenecks material flow inefficiencies and layout constraints caused by production rate changes new product introductions or facility limitations; flag constraints with the appropriate owners and drive to resolution.
• Produce and maintain space utilization analyses density metrics (units per square foot) and capacity-driven layout alternatives that tie layout decisions directly to production rate targets and business forecasts.
• Translate layout decisions into clear visual deliverables 2D plans 3D renderings block diagrams and material flow maps that are digestible to non-specialists so that program operations and leadership stakeholders can review and approve with confidence.
• Drive the migration from scattered inconsistent layout files to a governed centralized platform so the whole organization plans against one spatial source of truth instead of divergent local copies. Reduce the time to stand up new layouts or modify / re-fresh existing.
• Collaborate end-to-end across Manufacturing Engineering Supply Chain Quality and Facilities to ensure layouts reflect current product designs process requirements safety standards and growth plans.
• Mentor BL or Bench engineers on layout best practices and raise the bar for spatial planning discipline across the manufacturing organization. Justify growing the team if needed.
