Los Angeles, CA, United States Advanced Manufacturing Company of America Full time

Amca is building airplanes for the 21st century, starting by designing new hardware that flies on today's planes. Aviation was once humanity's boldest ambition, but the industry hasn't successfully built a new plane in 40 years. We don't think it has to be this way.

Overview:

You will take mechanical products through development and qualification testing to prove their airworthiness. Your primary function will be to assist the design engineers with rapid testing to validate new product designs and expand Amca's product catalog.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop rapid solutions for test equipment for qualification of structural, pneumatic, or hydraulic hardware
    • Work with Design Engineers to understand end-use applications and develop qualification test plans for hardware
    • Take full ownership of test stand design including 3D modeling, structural analysis/hand calcs, detailed drawings, component and material selection, and build
    • Support execution of qualification tests for new hardware
    • Assist and/or fully develop the necessary software/PLC/logic required to execute tests
  • 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 tests as production friendly as possible
    • Assist and/or fully develop software suite that enables easy test execution
  • 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
