## About the role

You will lead Amca's electrical engineering function across design, build, and test. Your team delivers flight-critical electrical hardware from concept through qualification and into production — spanning avionics, power electronics, fluid control systems, and adjacent electrical categories.

- Deep technical fluency across power electronics, analog/digital circuit design, PCBA layout, component selection, and qualification testing
- Comfortable with hands-on debugging and bench work — this is a hands-on leadership role
- First-principles thinker who can challenge requirements, cut unnecessary complexity, and make pragmatic tradeoffs under schedule pressure
- Familiarity with DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and other aerospace qualification and certification frameworks
