Staff Engineer, Production Planning and Scheduling

Job description

Anduril's Manufacturing Technology, Maritime Team is building the next generation of advanced AI-driven factories to manufacture large-scale autonomous maritime systems at unprecedented speed and scale. The Maritime Manufacturing Technology Team is responsible for rapidly developing and implementing manufacturing technologies and processes for cutting-edge defense hardware, including deployable static and moving surface, undersea and sea to air vehicles, and scaling these products in our new manufacturing facilities.

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

Job responsibilities

  • The integrated master plan and integrated master schedule for module production, horizontally and vertically integrated across engineering, material, manufacturing, and quality.
  • Critical path and network logic: find the conflicts, resolve them, and tell the program what just moved and why.
  • Shop load and dispatch — what gets worked today, against real material availability, qualified labor, and open nonconformances.
  • Schedule adherence and earned value: measure plan against actual, then feed the variance back into the plan.
  • Re-baselining when the program changes, with the risk analysis to support it.
  • Working the floor. This is a Gemba job, not a spreadsheet job — you will be at 3100 Harbor with the welders, machinists, and planners.
  • Standing up the production control function: the cadence, the artifacts, the metrics, and the interface to supply chain and quality.
  • The scheduling data model our dynamic scheduling system (LOKI) consumes — you define what “a step” means here.

Job requirements

  • 10+ years in production planning, production control, or master scheduling in shipbuilding, aerospace, or heavy manufacturing.
  • Program-level planning experience: demonstrated ability to build and manage integrated schedules for complex manufacturing or defense programs.
  • You have built and maintained a real integrated schedule against a real build and held the critical path when material and labor both moved.
  • Familiarity with controlled production environments (defense, aerospace, automotive, or similar).
  • Fluency with a scheduling toolset (P6, MS Project, Open Plan, Aurora) and with an ERP/MES (Forge, Odoo, SAP, Solumina, Oracle).
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • No degree required. Apprenticeship, Navy Nuclear Power School, military experience, or a trade path to planning all count.
