Electrical Engineering Intern bei Amca

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’ll design, prototype, and test aerospace electronics while developing a deep understanding of how electrical systems integrate into flight hardware.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the design and prototyping of new electrical hardware

• Assist in creating schematics, performing circuit analyses, and selecting components for aerospace applications

• Support prototype bring-up and early-revision hardware testing

• Participate in bench testing, debugging, and iterative design refinement

• Work with test engineering to define and execute qualification plans, including functional and environmental testing

• Collaborate with build engineers to ensure manufacturability and incorporate DFM feedback

• Help manage drawings, BOMs, and part configurations according to aerospace standards

• Evaluate Amca’s electrical product catalog and identify opportunities for new hardware development

Who You Are
