About the role

You will be a senior technical contributor on Amca's design team, owning the overall design process and standards set by Amca.
This role is vital to the business as it will help build out the standard design process that Amca applies to every new product it brings to market.
You will report directly to the head of engineering, and we are looking for someone with either an electrical background or mechanical background to help develop the design processes in either mechanical or electrical systems.

Create a standard process for digesting and tracking all customer requirements.
Work closely and help lead design engineers with their product development by providing feedback that both mitigates risk and allows them to move as quickly as possible.
Attend and review all design reviews. Provide feedback throughout the design review process. Track design review actions and ensure they are closed out.
Own CAD release process. Set approval structure, enforce approvers, and maintain system. This may require some level of high level software ownership of applications like Teamcenter/NX/Altium. You will have access to a software team if specific tasks pop up.
Create Amca design guide
Set standards for what types of components Amca should use in its design
Create specific hardware design guides from lessons learned from design engineers.
When failures occur in qualification, assist with root cause identification and corrective action (primarily in relation to design misses).

Substantial experience in mechanical or electrical engineering for aerospace or defense hardware, with a strong track record taking products from concept through flight qualification and into production
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.
Deep technical expertise in at least one mechanical or electrical discipline - [mechanical] such as fluid systems (pneumatic or hydraulic), mechanisms, structural design, cockpit avionics packaging, or power electronics enclosures - [electrical] such as flight controls, power electronics, sensors, PCB/PCBA design, or RF - with working fluency across adjacent areas
Hands-on and lab-comfortable

Lead conversations with customers in relation to requirements and challenge requirements where appropriate.
Set standards for hardware qualification. Leverage military standards and previous experiences to challenge requirements and ensure we are getting the most value out of our testing. Ensure we are testing in the most flight like manner possible.
