As a Senior Design Engineer, DFM/DFA, you will play a crucial role in designing and developing highly manufacturable hardware for Anduril's autonomous systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design for Scale: Apply DFM and DFA principles to maximize production throughput, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
• Multi-Discipline Mechanical Design: Design parts and complex assemblies using various manufacturing processes, including welded structures, precision CNC machining, injection-molded plastics, advanced composite manufacturing, and structural bonding.
• Drawing Definition & GD&T: Author, check, and release fully defined engineering drawing packages in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards.
• Production Enablement: Develop detailed work instructions, process sheets, and assembly documentation for seamless production execution.
• Engineering Analysis: Perform comprehensive tolerance stack-up analyses, design reviews, and DFMEAs to mitigate manufacturing and assembly risks.
• Floor Collaboration: Work closely with Manufacturing, Tooling, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to troubleshoot issues and implement design iterations.
• Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Mentor junior hardware engineers in drawing standards, GD&T application, and manufacturing best practices.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience with a focus on DFM and DFA.
• High proficiency with modern 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, Creo) and associated PDM/PLM systems.
• Expert-level understanding of ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) for engineering drawings and tolerance stack-ups.
• Experience designing for complex weldments, precision machining, tooling, injection molding, composite structures, and structural bonding.
• Experience creating clear manufacturing documentation, process specifications, and assembly instructions.
• Must be eligible to obtain/maintain US Security Clearance.

Benefits: Anduril offers a comprehensive benefits package, including top-tier benefits for full-time employees.
