The engineers of the mid-1900s put a man on the moon in eight years, designed and built planes and submarines from scratch in under three, and conceived of building things we wouldn’t even be able to dream up today.\nToday, the last of the engineers who imagined and built these systems are retiring. As they go, we lose not only the engineering knowledge gained from their decades of imagination and trial-and-error, but also the spirit that made that imagination possible.\nAmca is working day-in and day-out to restore America’s ability to engineer anything that our critical systems depend on, and reinvigorate the cycle of creation that allows imagination to shape physical reality. We rapidly develop and manufacture new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. By restoring the capability of our antiquated supply chains, we increase the country’s capacity to imagine and realize new systems, and make a physical world that looks very different from today.\nOverview:\nYou will lead Amca's electrical engineering function across design, build, and test. Your team delivers flight-critical electrical hardware from concept through qualification and into production - spanning avionics, power electronics, fluid control systems, and adjacent electrical categories. You will set the technical standard for how Amca designs, builds, and proves its electrical products, while growing and developing the engineers responsible for executing that work day to day. This is a player-coach role: you will be in the details of hard problems while building the team and processes to scale.\nResponsibilities:\nManage the electrical engineering team across design, build, and test\nHire, develop, and retain electrical design and test engineers\nSet technical standards, design review processes, and engineering best practices across the discipline\nMentor engineers at all levels and build a culture of ownership, rigor, and speed\nPartner with mechanical, software, and build engineering to deliver integrated hardware systems\nContribute to the electrical product roadmap in partnership with program management and senior leadership\nWork with business development and program management to understand customer requirements and translate them into executable engineering plans\nSupport expansion of Amca's electrical product catalog across avionics, power electronics, fluid control, and adjacent categories\nChallenge requirements from first principles and ensure designs are optimized for reliability, lead time, and cost from day one\nMaintain hands-on technical leadership\nProvide direct design oversight and review for flight-critical electrical hardware, including schematics, component selection, de-rating analyses, and PCBA layout\nLead or support qualification programs including functional, environmental, and acceptance testing per DO-160, MIL-STD, and applicable standards\nDrive rapid hardware iteration from prototype through production release\nEnsure all products meet aerospace configuration management, documentation, and design control requirements\nSupport company growth initiatives\nRepresent electrical engineering in customer-facing engagements and program reviews\nQualifications:\nSubstantial experience in electrical engineering for aerospace or defense hardware, with a strong track record of taking products from concept through flight qualification and into production\nDemonstrated success leading engineering teams; able to develop and retain strong technical talent\nDeep technical fluency across power electronics, analog/digital circuit design, PCBA layout, component selection, and qualification testing\nComfortable with hands-on debugging and bench work - this is a hands-on leadership role\nFirst-principles thinker who can challenge requirements, cut unnecessary complexity, and make pragmatic tradeoffs under schedule pressure\nFamiliarity with DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and other aerospace qualification and certification frameworks\nIndependent, direct, and action-oriented; thrives in a fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy\nAnnual Salary Range\n$160,000—$260,000 USD\nThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All applicants must be U.S. persons within the meaning of ITAR.
