The opportunity

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

What you'll do

  • Execute DFx analysis across avionics, electronics, wiring, and harnessing: subsystems for AD&S programs, with a primary focus on manufacturability, assembly, and cost.

  • Participate in and help lead structured DFM/DFA/DFC reviews at key design: milestones, applying rigorous scoring to identify producibility and cost risks and drive design changes before they reach production.

  • Work directly with SME manufacturing engineers and design engineers to: evaluate designs, translate manufacturing constraints into actionable feedback, and support design trades that balance performance, producibility, and cost.

  • Support the selection and qualification of contract manufacturers for: avionics, electronics, and harnessing production — assessing supplier manufacturing capability, process maturity, and cost competitiveness against DFx requirements.

  • Participate in supplier manufacturing assessments including facility reviews,: process audits, and capability evaluations.

  • Contribute to should-cost models and cost-driver analyses for electronics and: harnessing assemblies, identifying design changes that reduce unit cost without compromising quality or performance.

What they're looking for

  • 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.
  • Analyze designs across key lenses: manufacturability/assembly, cost structure, adherence to specification, process capability, and technology maturity — to contribute to quantified risk assessments that inform engineering and program decisions.
  • Partner with supply chain to align DFx requirements with sourcing strategy,: ensuring that designs are producible by the suppliers we intend to use.
  • Collaborate with quality engineering to ensure DFx findings flow into: inspection plans, acceptance criteria, and supplier quality requirements.
