amca llc; El Segundo (CA); On-site; USD 30,000 - 47,000; Full time

Job summary

Amca is seeking an Electrical Design Engineering Intern to work with our electrical team on taking aerospace hardware from concept toward flight qualification. You will own a scoped design project for the summer with a mentor and access to build and test engineers who will bring your work to life.

This is a hands-on internship where your schematics and boards are reviewed with the same rigor as full-time engineers, and you’ll have hardware on the bench before you leave.

Qualifications

• Enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program in EE, CE, engineering physics, or related field.
• Returning Fall 2027 or graduating Spring 2027 and open to full-time.
• Completed circuits/electronics/signals coursework; grasp of power, filtering, and logic.
• Hands-on electrical design from coursework, projects, or internship.
• Comfortable debugging with an oscilloscope, multimeter, and logic analyzer.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design and prototyping of new electrical hardware.
• Support flight hardware design: schematic capture, analysis, part selection, de-rating, and PCB layout.
• Build up and bring up early revision hardware, then iterate quickly based on bench results.
• Run bench testing and basic functional and development tests on the hardware you build.
• Debug failures to root cause and carry fixes back into the design.
• Present project and results to the engineering team at internship end.
