Job summary

The Advanced Manufacturing Company of America (Amca) in El Segundo, CA, seeks an electrical hardware engineer to take concepts to flight-qualified products.

You will own design, prototyping, qualification planning, and DFM feedback with build and test teams; you’ll mentor early engineers and help expand the catalog of aerospace components.

This role requires hands-on debugging, DO-160/MIL-STD familiarity, and the ability to work under ITAR constraints.

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.
• Exceptional curiosity 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.

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