Amca is building America's advanced industrial base, operating seven factories nationwide to rapidly develop and manufacture critical components and subsystems for aviation, military vehicles, and core infrastructure. The company delivers avionics, hydraulic, and electrical components for platforms including the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, 737MAX, 787, A320neo, A321, Mk-48, and M1 Abrams.
As Senior Magnetics Engineer, you will lead the design of Amca's magnetic components and electromagnetic devices, including transformers, inductors, solenoids, motors, and magnetic actuators for power electronics and fluid control hardware. This specialized role sits at the intersection of electromagnetics, materials science, and thermal performance.
Key responsibilities include:
**Magnetic Design and Analysis**: Lead design of transformers, inductors, solenoids, motors, and magnetic actuators. Perform magnetic analysis and FEA to predict flux, force, inductance, and losses. Model core loss, copper loss, saturation, and thermal behavior across operating envelopes. Select magnetic materials, wire, insulation systems, and core geometries.
**Documentation and Data Packages**: Produce winding specifications, magnetic component drawings, and technical data packages. Author design requirements and interface control documents for magnetic assemblies. Maintain design records and support configuration management.
**Integration and Cross-functional Support**: Partner with electrical, mechanical, and test teams through build and qualification. Lead root cause analysis and corrective action on magnetic design and field issues. Review junior engineers' work and mentor them on magnetics design methods.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related technical discipline. 5+ years designing magnetic components or electromagnetic devices in aerospace, defense, or comparable high-reliability industry. Strong command of electromagnetics, magnetic materials, and thermal fundamentals. Experience with magnetic FEA tools such as ANSYS Maxwell or comparable software. Demonstrated ability to carry magnetic design from requirements through qualification.
Preferred qualifications include Master's degree in relevant engineering discipline, experience designing high-frequency magnetics for power conversion, solenoid or magnetic actuator design for fluid control hardware, familiarity with DO-160 environmental qualification and MIL-STD requirements, and experience working across multiple manufacturing sites.
