We’re putting engineers back in charge of aerospace and defense and rapidly delivering what the industry needs next.
Overview
You will take mechanical products from concept to flight qualification. Your primary function will be to expand Amca's product catalog by designing new aerospace hardware and working closely with build and test engineers to bring your products to life.
Responsibilities
Own design and prototyping of new mechanical hardware Work with customers to understand end-use applications and challenge requirements as needed Take full ownership of mechanical design for flight hardware, including 3D modeling, structural analysis, detailed drawings, tolerance analysis, and material selection Prototype new components with manufacturability, integration, and performance as core constraints Work with test engineering to define and execute qualification plans including fixture design, environmental testing, and iterative design refinement Work closely with build engineers to ensure new designs are manufacturable at production facilities and DFM feedback is implemented Manage drawing revisions, BOM structure, and part configuration in accordance with aerospace standards and internal design controls Continue to iterate on Amca designs to ensure they are fully optimized for reliability and cost Support Amca with subsidiary diligence and company development Evaluate product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie for catalog expansion Assist in the evaluation of subsidiary design, manufacturing, and test capabilities
Qualifications
Exceptionally curious and fast learner; able to contribute across diverse part categories and manufacturing processes. Demonstrated ability to use engineering first principles to challenge and simplify requirements. Hands-on and practical—comfortable building, testing, and troubleshooting in real-world environments. Independent and creative; thrives with ownership and minimal oversight. Experience with mechanical design, applying first-principles thinking to structural, thermal fluid, and production constraints. Proficient in CAD, PLM/PDM systems, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Experience in hands calcs and basic FEM.
