Aerospace Power Electrical Hardware Engineer

Amca; El Segundo (CA); On-site; USD 105,000 - 135,000; Full time

Job summary

Amca is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to take concepts through flight-qualified hardware. You will design and prototype electrical hardware, create schematics, select components, de-rate for reliability, and lay out PCBs.

You will iterate with test and build teams to ensure manufacturability and quality, while mentoring junior engineers and contributing to catalog expansion. Ideal candidates have hands-on debugging skills, first-principles problem solving, and experience with DO-160

Qualifications

• Experience with electrical design from first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic 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.
• Independent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight.

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 and assist with recruiting mechanical engineers and building the team.
