From the original posting

Amca is building America’s new industrial base. Since the 1990s, our ability to build new aviation and military systems and maintain the ones we already have has eroded. Today, the gap between what the nation needs to produce and what it is capable of producing is the largest it has been in generations.

Overview:

You will develop both the qualification and acceptance testing equipment to validate new electrical product designs. Your primary function will be to work with the electrical design engineers to make test systems that rapidly ensure the reliability of Amca's products.

Responsibilities:

Develop rapid solutions for test equipment for qualification testing of electrical hardware
- Work with design engineers to understand end-use applications and develop qualification test plans for hardware
- Take full ownership of test bed design and build, including electrical schematic creation, component selection, PCBA layout, and hardware builds
- Support integration of test beds with environmental test equipment (thermal chambers, vibration shakers, shock systems, humidity, salt fog, etc)
- Support execution of qualification tests for new hardware
- Build and deploy the necessary software to operate the test bed
Build acceptance test solutions for production test
- Work with design engineers to develop acceptance test plans for new hardware.
- Leveraging test equipment developed for qualification testing, build out acceptance testing hardware that optimizes reliability, lead time, and labor.
- Work closely with Build Engineering and Production to make electrical tests as production friendly as possible.
- Develop the software that interfaces with the test bed to simplify test execution
Support Amca with factory diligence and company development
- Evaluate product catalogs and help determine where largest opportunities lie for catalog expansion
- Assist in the evaluation of factory design, manufacturing, and test capabilities

Qualifications:

Experience with electrical design, applying first-principles thinking to power, filtering, logic, software/firmware, and production constraints.
Proficient in a standard software language (Python, C#, C++, java, etc.)
Experience in electrical schematic layout, component selection, and simulation to meet customer requirements.
Comfortable with hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers.
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
Plus: familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD, or other qualification and certification frameworks
