About the role

Anduril’s Air Dominance & Strike (AD&S) Manufacturing Engineering team is seeking a Staff DFx Manufacturing Engineer to drive design-for-manufacturability, assembly, and testability across our avionics, electronics, and harnessing subsystems. This role spans our full portfolio of autonomous aircraft, cruise missiles, and loitering munitions — ensuring that electronics hardware is designed to be produced at scale from the earliest stages of development. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Own and drive the DFx process for avionics, electronics, and harnessing subsystems across AD&S programs, from concept through rate production
  • Lead structured DFM/DFA/DFT reviews at key design milestones, applying a rigorous scoring methodology to identify producibility risks and drive design changes before they become production problems
  • Embed with electrical and avionics design engineering teams to provide real-time manufacturing feedback on PCBA layout, component selection, connector and harnessing architecture, and test access
  • Work cross-functionally with supply chain, quality, operations, and design engineering on a daily basis — this role is the connective tissue between what gets designed and what gets built
  • Analyze designs across five key lenses — manufacturability/assembly, quality, adherence to specification, process capability, and technology maturity — to produce quantified risk assessments that inform engineering and program decisions
