Reynolds and Perth previously played together at Longford town.
Reynolds told dundalkfc.com that it was an opportunity that he couldn't pass up.
"Dundalk is a fantastic club and I’ll be working with a fantastic group of players so it would have been hard to turn down an offer like this," said Reynolds.
"In fairness to Vinny and Dundalk, they went about things the right way. They asked Waterford for permission to speak to me and that was granted by the club. We’ve spoken a few times over the past couple of weeks and I’m just happy it’s done now.
"I’m really looking forward to it," he added. "I need to adapt to becoming an assistant again and helping Vinny and John. It’s something I’ll have to get used to again but I’m looking forward to getting stuck in now."
Alan Reynolds spent three years in management at Waterford FC securing promotion from the First to Premier Division in his first year with the club.
He then drove the club on to reach a European position in 2018, to then consolidate Waterford as a top flight club in 2019.
