Full Job Description
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. 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 unde
