Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the design and prototyping of new aerospace electrical hardware from concept through flight qualification. Collaborate with build and test engineers to ensure manufacturability and reliability of flight-ready components.
Requires experience in electrical schematic layout, simulation, and hands-on debugging using tools like oscilloscopes and multimeters. Must be a U.S. person per ITAR regulations and possess a strong ability to apply first-principles engineering to complex hardware problems.
Amca is building America’s new industrial base. Since the 1990s, our ability to build new aviation and military systems and maintain the ones we already have has eroded. Today, the gap between what the nation needs to produce and what it is capable of producing is the largest it has been in generations.
To help close that gap, Amca rapidly develops and manufactures new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. Today, we operate seven factories nationwide, including our advanced prototyping and testing headquarters in El Segundo, and deliver avionics, hydraulic, and electrical components for platforms such as the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, 737MAX, 787, A320neo, A321, Mk-48, and M1 Abrams.
You will take electrical products from concept to flight qualification. Your primary function will be to expand Amca's product catalog by designing new aerospace hardware and working closely with build and test engineers to bring your products to life.
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
Assist with recruiting mechanical engineers and building the mechanical engineering team at Amca
Experience with electrical design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, 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.
Exceptionally curious and fast learner; able to contribute across diverse part categories and manufacturing processes.
Demonstrated ability to use engineering first principles to challenge and simplify requirements.
Hands-on and practical—comfortable building, testing, and troubleshooting in real-world environments.
Independent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight.
Plus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworks

America's New Industrial Base
Amca is building a new industrial base for America that is faster, distributed, and multi-sourced. We increase competition and capacity for every class of critical component to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. For decades, America’s legacy industrial base for critical components has become increasingly uncompetitive and capacity-constrained. As a result, the gap between what America needs and what it can produce is the largest it has been in generations. To address today’s bottlenecks, Amca is pioneering a faster and more resilient way to develop and manufacture critical aerospace and defense components. Traditional manufacturers often silo design, testing, and production into separate workflows, resulting in years-long timelines and high program risk. Amca brings those functions together into a single, integrated system that pairs rapid design and qualification of components with certified production at scale. By combining rapid prototyping, software-enabled testing, extensive qualification infrastructure, and a growing network of AS9100D-certified factories, Amca can move critical components from requirement to production within weeks. The end result is faster delivery, greater access to technical data, and reduced dependence on a single source of supply. Today, Amca supplies products for major aerospace and defense platforms, including the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, Mk-48, 737MAX, 787, 777, A320, and M1 Abrams. We also support U.S. military sustainment programs focused on readiness-related shortages and diminishing manufacturing sources. We have raised $376M in funding and are backed by leading investors including Caffeinated Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Lux Capital and Founders Fund.
