Senior Mechanical Engineer
Amca, El Segundo, CA +1
Overview
The Mechanical Design Engineering role is responsible for developing flight hardware for new and existing airframes. You will serve as the extreme owner of the product from concept through qualification, and eventually production handoff. Your day will consist of designing, analyzing, and building a wide range of fluid and structural systems. Most importantly you will own the relationship between customer level requirements and the build/test engineering teams.
What you will do
- Lead design and prototyping of new mechanical hardware across a component family or subsystem
- Develop state-of-the-art, manufacturable flow control devices (valves, regulators, solenoids) and mechanisms (actuators, switches, pistons). Question requirements, simplify, and accelerate aerospace component deliveries
- Generate and maintain detailed drawings, component specifications, analysis, and risk assessments. We believe design engineers should perform their own concept design, technical analysis, and first unit builds, so we minimize compartmentalized duties wherever possible
