About the role
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Magnetic Design and Analysis
- Lead the design of transformers, inductors, solenoids, motors, and magnetic actuators.
- Perform magnetic analysis and FEA to predict flux, force, inductance, and losses.
- Author design requirements and interface control documents for magnetic assemblies.
- Maintain design records and support configuration management.
- Integration and Cross-functional Support
- Partner with electrical, mechanical, and test teams through build and qualification.
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective action on magnetic design and field issues.
- Review the work of junior engineers and mentor them on magnetics design methods.
- The Senior Magnetics Engineer leads the design of Amca's magnetic components and electromagnetic devices.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years designing magnetic components or electromagnetic devices in aerospace, defense, or a comparable high-reliability industry.
- Experience with magnetic FEA tools such as ANSYS Maxwell or comparable software.
- 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.
Nice to have
- Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
- Experience designing high-frequency magnetics for power conversion.
- Experience with solenoid or magnetic actuator design for fluid control hardware.
- Familiarity with DO-160 environmental qualification and relevant MIL-STD requirements.
- Experience working across multiple manufacturing sites or factories.
- This position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
