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\nThe Senior Magnetics Engineer leads the design of Amca's magnetic components and electromagnetic devices. You will design transformers, inductors, solenoids, motors, and magnetic actuators for power electronics and fluid control hardware, pairing magnetic and thermal analysis with manufacturable, high-reliability designs. This is a specialized design role for an engineer who lives at the intersection of electromagnetics, materials, and thermal performance.\nResponsibilities\nMagnetic Design and Analysis\nLead the design of transformers, inductors, solenoids, motors, and magnetic actuators.\nPerform magnetic analysis and FEA to predict flux, force, inductance, and losses.\nModel core loss, copper loss, saturation, and thermal behavior across the operating envelope.\nSelect magnetic materials, wire, insulation systems, and core geometries.\nDocumentation and Data Packages\nProduce winding specifications, magnetic component drawings, and technical data packages.\nAuthor design requirements and interface control documents for magnetic assemblies.\nMaintain design records and support configuration management.\nIntegration and Cross-functional Support\nPartner with electrical, mechanical, and test teams through build and qualification.\nLead root cause analysis and corrective action on magnetic design and field issues.\nReview the work of junior engineers and mentor them on magnetics design methods.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical discipline.\n5+ years designing magnetic components or electromagnetic devices in aerospace, defense, or a comparable high-reliability industry.\nStrong command of electromagnetics, magnetic materials, and thermal fundamentals.\nExperience with magnetic FEA tools such as ANSYS Maxwell or comparable software.\nDemonstrated ability to carry a magnetic design from requirements through qualification.\nPreferred Qualifications\nMaster's degree in a relevant engineering discipline.\nExperience designing high-frequency magnetics for power conversion.\nExperience with solenoid or magnetic actuator design for fluid control hardware.\nFamiliarity with DO-160 environmental qualification and relevant MIL-STD requirements.\nExperience working across multiple manufacturing sites or factories.\nAnnual Salary Range\n$150,000—$250,000 USD\nThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
