Senior Industrial Engineer, Simulation
AI summary of the role
Senior Industrial Engineer to own and scale Anduril's manufacturing simulation capability, building durable, decision-grade discrete event simulation models for factory line design across a multi-variant, low-volume defense production environment.
What you’ll do
- Own Anduril's discrete event simulation and operations-research capability for manufacturing line design as a long-lived, foundational asset.
- Build and manage the simulation intake and prioritization process, triaging requests from across the organization.
- Define how simulation is used at varying NPI maturity levels within the MDP process, from concept to rate-readiness validation.
- Design data pipelines to keep models current with live production data (cycle times, yields, routings, downtime, WIP, labor).
What you’ll bring
- 6+ years building simulation and/or operations-research models driving real operational or capital decisions in manufacturing.
- Deep hands-on expertise with discrete event simulation software (e.g., Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, Simio, FlexSim, AnyLogic, Arena, ProModel, SimPy).
- Strong programming ability in Python and SQL for data pipelines and custom models.
- Ability to read technical documentation such as facility drawings, assembly drawings, and manufacturing procedures.

Done right, simulation de-risks capital expenditures, accelerates new-product-introduction (NPI) ramps, and arms leadership with validated production models and quantified risk — turning manufacturing predictability into a strategic advantage. Over time, this capability matures toward persistent, data-connected factory models that stay current and make visibility the impact of change as our production systems evolve. This role sets the standard for how that capability is architected, validated, and consumed across the company, in close collaboration with Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Program Management, and Business Operations. ABOUT [... source excerpt omitted ...] r engineer who can demonstrate holistic ownership of Anduril’s factory simulation capability as a durable, decision-grade asset — one that lives for years, absorbs new data as our production system evolves, and is trusted by leadership to make real capital, capacity, staffing, and ramp 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. Simulation operates in two modes. First, as a central service with an intake and prioritization system — fielding requests from across the organization for capacity studies, sc
