The opportunity

Anduril's Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Manufacturing Engineering team is seeking a DFx Engineer to support design for manufacturability, assembly, and cost analysis across our avionics, electronics, wiring,and harnessing subsystems. This role spans our full portfolio of…

What you'll do

  • Support DFx analysis across avionics, electronics, wiring, and harnessing: subsystems for AD&S programs, working under the guidance of Staff and Senior DFx Engineers, with a focus on manufacturability, assembly, and cost.

  • Participate in structured DFM/DFA/DFC reviews at key design milestones,: learning and applying the scoring methodology to identify producibility and cost risks and recommend design changes.

  • Work with SME manufacturing engineers and design engineers to provide: manufacturing and cost feedback on designs, learning to translate constraints into actionable recommendations.

  • Support the evaluation and qualification of contract manufacturers: participating in facility reviews, process audits, and capability assessments under the guidance of senior team members.

  • Help build and maintain should-cost models and cost-driver analyses for electronics and harnessing assemblies.

  • Help develop and maintain DFx standards, guidelines, and scorecards specific: to electronics manufacturing processes including SMT, wave/selective solder, conformal coating, potting, wire harness fabrication, and box-build assembly.

What they're looking for

  • Analyze designs across key lenses: manufacturability/assembly, cost structure, adherence to specification, process capability, and technology maturity — contributing to risk assessments that inform engineering and program decisions.
  • Work with supply chain to understand how DFx requirements connect to sourcing strategy and supplier selection.
  • Collaborate with quality engineering to understand how DFx findings translate: into inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and supplier quality requirements.
  • Spend time on the production floor and at supplier sites to build firsthand: understanding of how electronics and harnesses are manufactured.
