Electrical Test EngineerAmca 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.Overview:You 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.Responsibilities:Develop rapid solutions for test equipment for qualification testing of electrical hardware Work with design engineers to understand end-use applications and develop qualification test plans for hardwareTake full ownership of test bed design and build, including electrical schematic creation, component selection, PCBA layout, and hardware buildsSupport integration of test beds with environmental test equipment (thermal chambers, vibration shakers, shock systems, humidity, salt fog, etc)Support execution of qualification tests for new hardwareBuild and deploy the necessary software to operate the test bedBuild acceptance test solutions for production test Work with design engineers to develop acceptance test plans for new hardware.Leveraging test equipment developed for qualification testing, build out acceptance testing hardware that optimizes reliability, lead time, and labor.Work closely with Build Engineering and Production to make electrical tests as production friendly as possible.Develop the software that interfaces with the test bed to simplify test executionSupport Amca with factory diligence and company development Evaluate product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie for catalog expansionAssist in the evaluation of factory design, manufacturing, and test capabilitiesQualifications:Experience with electrical design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, and production constraints.Proficient in a standard software language (Python, C#, C++, java, etc.)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 requirementsHands-on and practical—comfortable building, testing, and troubleshooting in real-world environmentsIndependent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversightPlus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworksAnnual Salary Range$105,000 - $135,000 USDThis position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
