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 develop both the qualification and acceptance testing equipment to validate new electrical product designs. Your primary function will be to work with the electrical design engineers to make test systems that rapidly ensure the reliability of Amca's products.\nResponsibilities:\nDevelop rapid solutions for test equipment for qualification testing of electrical hardware\nWork with design engineers to understand end-use applications and develop qualification test plans for hardware\n\nTake full ownership of test bed design and build, including electrical schematic creation, component selection, PCBA layout, and hardware builds\n\nSupport integration of test beds with environmental test equipment (thermal chambers, vibration shakers, shock systems, humidity, salt fog, etc)\n\nSupport execution of qualification tests for new hardware\n\nBuild and deploy the necessary software to operate the test bed\n\nBuild acceptance test solutions for production test\nWork with design engineers to develop acceptance test plans for new hardware.\n\nLeveraging test equipment developed for qualification testing, build out acceptance testing hardware that optimizes reliability, lead time, and labor.\n\nWork closely with Build Engineering and Production to make electrical tests as production friendly as possible.\n\nDevelop the software that interfaces with the test bed to simplify test execution\n\nSupport Amca with factory diligence and company development\nEvaluate product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie for catalog expansion\n\nAssist in the evaluation of factory design, manufacturing, and test capabilities\n\nQualifications:\nExperience with electrical design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, and production constraints.\n\nProficient in a standard software language (Python, C#, C++, java, etc.)\n\nExperience in electrical schematic layout, component selection, and simulation to meet customer requirements.\n\nComfortable with hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.\n\nExceptionally curious and fast learner; able to contribute across diverse part categories and manufacturing processes.\n\nDemonstrated ability to use engineering first principles to challenge and simplify requirements\n\nHands-on and practical-comfortable building, testing, and troubleshooting in real-world environments\n\nIndependent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight\n\nPlus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworks\n\nAnnual Salary Range\n$105,000—$135,000 USD\nThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
