Electrical Design Engineer

Overview:

You will take electrical products from concept to flight qualification. Your primary function will be to expand Amca's product catalog by designing new aerospace hardware and working closely with build and test engineers to bring your products to life.

Responsibilities:

• Own design and prototyping of new electrical hardware

  • Work with customers to understand end-use applications and challenge requirements as needed

  • Take full ownership of electrical design for flight hardware, including electrical schematic creation, electrical analysis, component selection, de-rating, and PCBA layout

  • Own the prototype and bring-up of early revision hardware and rapidly iterate to finalize designs, including bench testing and basic functional and development tests.

  • Work with test engineering to define and execute qualification plans including functional and environmental testing

  • Work with build engineers to ensure new designs are manufacturable at supply chain or production facilities and DFM feedback is implemented

  • Manage drawing revisions, BOM structure, and part configuration in accordance with aerospace standards and internal design controls

  • Continue to iterate on Amca designs to ensure they are fully optimized for reliability and cost

• Support Amca with factory diligence and company development

  • Evaluate product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie for catalog expansion

  • Assist in the evaluation of factory design, manufacturing, and test capabilities

  • Mentor early career electrical engineers

  • Assist with recruiting electrical engineers and building the electrical engineering team at Amca

Qualifications:

• Experience with electrical design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, and production constraints.

• Experience in electrical schematic layout, component selection, and simulation to meet customer requirements.

• Comfortable with hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.

• Exceptionally curious and fast learner; able to contribute across diverse part categories and manufacturing processes.

• Demonstrated ability to use engineering first principles to challenge and simplify requirements.

• Hands-on and practical—comfortable building, testing, and troubleshooting in real-world environments.

• Independent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight.

• Plus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworks
