About the role
- The Senior Fluid Engineer owns the design of Amca's fluid control hardware, taking components and assemblies from concept through qualification.
- This is a hands-on design role for an engineer who can pair strong fluid dynamics fundamentals with practical, manufacturable hardware design.
Responsibilities
- Design and Analysis
- Lead the design of fluid control components and assemblies, including valves, regulators, servovalves, actuators, pumps, and manifolds.
- Perform hydraulic and pneumatic analysis covering flow, pressure drop, response, and thermal behavior across the operating envelope.
- Develop analytical and CFD models to predict performance, size components, and guide design decisions.
- Author design requirements, interface control documents, and complete technical data packages.
- Maintain design records and support configuration management through the product lifecycle.
- Qualification and Cross-functional Support
- Partner with test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams from build through qualification.
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective action on design and field issues.
- Review the work of junior engineers and mentor them on fluid design methods and standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years designing fluid control or fluid power hardware in aerospace, defense, or a comparable high-reliability industry.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo, SolidWorks, or NX) and GD&T.
- 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 with CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent or Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
- Experience with servovalves, aerospace actuation, or high-pressure fluid systems.
- 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).
