As a Mechanical Design Engineer focused on DFM/DFA, you will sit at the critical intersection of product design and production reality. You will be directly responsible for designing robust, mission-ready, and highly manufacturable hardware across Anduril’s portfolio of autonomous air, land, and maritime systems. You will own components and assemblies from concept through prototype fabrication and high-rate production, ensuring our hardware can be rapidly built, scaled, and deployed at the speed of mission need.

Design for Scale: Apply rigorous DFM and DFA principles across all phases of product development to maximize production throughput, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Multi-Discipline Mechanical Design: Design parts and complex assemblies leveraging a wide range of manufacturing processes:

Welded structures (MIG, TIG, FCAW, and automated processes)

Precision 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining

Injection-molded plastics and tooling considerations

Advanced composite manufacturing (layup, molding, and secondary operations)

Structural bonding, encapsulation, and adhesive joining

Drawing Definition & GD&T: Author, check, and release fully defined engineering drawing packages in strict accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards.

Production Enablement: Develop detailed, visual work instructions, process sheets, and assembly documentation that enable seamless execution on the production floor.

Engineering Analysis: Perform comprehensive 1D/3D tolerance stack-up analyses, design reviews, and DFMEAs to de-risk manufacturing and assembly bottlenecks early.

Floor Collaboration: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with Manufacturing, Tooling, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to troubleshoot issues, implement rapid design iterations, and streamline production.
