Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
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 mechanical, structural, thermal management, and fluid systems (fuel, hydraulics, pneumatics) subsystems. This role spans our full portfolio of autonomous aircraft, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions — ensuring that design decisions account for how hardware will be built, by whom, and at what cost. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
- Strong working knowledge of mechanical manufacturing processes: CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, brazing, composite layup and cure, bonding, casting, forging, and complex mechanical assembly
- Experience participating in or leading DFM/DFA reviews and translating findings into measurable design improvements that reduce cost and improve producibility
- Experience supporting contract manufacturer evaluations — including facility assessments, process capability reviews, or production readiness evaluations
- Understanding of cost drivers in mechanical and fluid system production, with exposure to should-cost modeling or cost analysis
- Ability to read and critically evaluate mechanical drawings, GD&T, 3D models, and assembly documentation for producibility and cost impact
