Senior Material Flow Engineer, General

New Senior Material Flow Engineer, General Costa Mesa, California, United States Apply 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. ABOUT THE JOB At Anduril, our Industrial Engineers in Supply Chain Material Flow are the architects of operational scalability, taking cutting-edge defense hardware—including complex mechanical assemblies, electronic sensor payloads, and autonomous systems—and transforming them into mature, high-rate production realities across our manufacturing footprint. You will step into a fast-paced environment, taking holistic ownership to optimize warehousing, internal logistics, and material flow operations for best-in-class quality, throughput speed, and asset utilization. We are seeking talented Industrial Engineers across experience levels (Mid to Staff) with deep technical expertise in supply chain material flow, warehouse operations, factory layout design, discrete event simulation, and data-driven process optimization. WHAT YOU’LL DO

Scale Material Flow & Logistics Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize scalable warehousing, line-side material delivery, kitting workflows, and inventory movement across multiple programs from initial development to full-rate production. Identify Bottlenecks & Drive Resolution: Proactively identify and eliminate imbalances caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, and operational constraints by partnering cross-functionally across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Operations. Govern Production Metrics & Operational KPIs: Own the data systems, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, including cycle times, throughput rate, capacity utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy. Execute Time Studies & Line Balancing: Perform rigorous time studies, value stream mapping (VSM), process mapping, and line balancing to optimize dynamic workplans and work demand for new and maturing facilities. Model Production & Material Flow Scenarios: Utilize discrete event simulation and layout modeling tools to test operational scenarios, stress-test warehouse capacities, and deliver actionable data to de-risk production scale-up. Implement Hands-On Lean Improvements: Champion continuous floor-level improvements (e.g., Gemba walks, continuous flow, one-piece flow, poka-yoke solutions) to rapidly deploy iterative, high-impact solutions without requiring massive capital expenditures.

Experience & Education: Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with progressive experience (Mid to Staff level) in a high-rate supply chain or manufacturing environment. Hardware & Technical Literacy: Ability to read technical drawings and CAD data, with a solid understanding of manufacturing processes for complex structural, mechanical, electromechanical, or electronics assemblies (PCBAs, sensor hardware). Specialized Core Competencies: Demonstrated technical strength across core industrial engineering domains:

Material Flow & Plant Layouts: Practical expertise in warehouse design, workstation design, value stream mapping, material
