Senior Electrical Engineer

There was a time when all of America believed that the future of the physical world could be radically different. 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. Today, 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. Amca 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. Overview: You 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. Responsibilities: Manage the electrical engineering team across design, build, and test Hire, develop, and retain electrical design and test engineers Set technical standards, design review processes, and engineering best practices across the discipline Mentor engineers at all levels and build a culture of ownership, rigor, and speed Partner with mechanical, software, and build engineering to deliver integrated hardware systems Contribute to the electrical product roadmap in partnership with program management and senior leadership Work with business development and program management to understand customer requirements and translate them into executable engineering plans Support expansion of Amca's electrical product catalog across avionics, power electronics, fluid control, and adjacent categories Challenge requirements from first principles and ensure designs are optimized for reliability, lead time, and cost from day one Maintain hands-on technical leadership Provide direct design oversight and review for flight-critical electrical hardware, including schematics, component selection, de-rating analyses, and PCBA layout Lead or support qualification…
