Amca
Overview
You will take sensors 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. As a senior engineer at an early startup, you will also be responsible for setting up Amca's design processes for the future.
Responsibilities
Own design and prototyping of new sensors
Work with customers to understand end-use applications and challenge requirements as needed
Take full ownership of sensor development for flight hardware, including electrical analysis, component selection, environmental conditioning, and calibration process
Own the prototype and bring-up of early revision hardware and rapidly iterate to finalize designs, including bench testing and basic functional and development tests
Work with test engineering to define and execute qualification plans including functional and environmental testing
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
Be a leader in developing Amca's design processes
Assist in standard sensor development and simulation processes
Assist in PLM development and configuration management for design documentation
Mentor early career engineers
Assist with recruiting to build the Avionics department within Amca
Support Amca with company diligence
Evaluate companies' product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie in terms of Amca catalog expansion
Assist in evaluating company design, manufacturing, and test capabilities
Qualifications
5+ years experience in sensor development or electrical hardware development in a professional environment
Proficient in sensor design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, and/or production constraints
Proficient with hands-on debugging using standard electrical lab equipment
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
Proficient in sensor analysis/simulation
Basic understanding of electrical requirements across domains (power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, RF, etc.)
Plus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworks
