Electrical Engineering Internship (Summer 2027)

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. To help close that gap, Amca rapidly develops and manufactures new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. Today, we operate seven factories nationwide, including our advanced prototyping and testing headquarters in El Segundo, and deliver avionics, hydraulic, and electrical components for platforms such as the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, 737MAX, 787, A320neo, A321, Mk-48, and M1 Abrams.

Overview

The Electrical Design Engineering Intern works alongside our electrical team to take aerospace hardware from concept toward flight qualification. You will own a scoped electrical design project for the summer, with a dedicated mentor and direct access to the build and test engineers who will bring your work to life. This is not a shadowing program. Interns at Amca design, build, and debug real hardware. You should expect your schematics and boards to be reviewed with the same rigor as a full-time engineer's, and to have something on the bench before you leave.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design and prototyping of new electrical hardware Support electrical design for flight hardware, including schematic capture, electrical analysis, component selection, de-rating, and PCBA layout Build up and bring up early revision hardware, then iterate quickly based on what the bench tells you Run bench testing and basic functional and development tests on the hardware you build Debug failures down to root cause and carry the fix back into the design Select components with attention to de-rating, tolerance, and availability, and defend those choices in design review Work with test engineering to
