Description

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 Junior Fluid Engineer supports the design and development of Amca's fluid control hardware under the direction of senior engineers. You will contribute to the design of valves, regulators, actuators, and manifolds, run analysis, and produce drawings and models. This is an entry-level design role built to grow an engineer into an independent contributor on fluid control programs. Responsibilities Design Support Support the design of fluid control components and assemblies under the guidance of senior engineers. Build CAD models and detailed drawings, applying GD&T under review. Perform hand calculations and basic analysis for flow, pressure drop, and sizing. Analysis and Documentation Assist with analytical and CFD studies and help reduce results into usable design guidance. Draft portions of requirements documents, interface control documents, and technical data packages. Maintain design files and support configuration management. Collaboration and Development Work with test and manufacturing teams to understand build and qualification feedback. Support troubleshooting and data collection on design and field issues. Build fluid design fundamentals through mentorship and design reviews. Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical discipline. 0 to 2 years of engineering experience, including internships or co-ops. Working knowledge of fluid dynamics, hydraulics, or pneumatics fundamentals. Proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo, SolidWorks, or NX) and a working understanding of GD&T. Strong analytical skills and a willingness to learn on complex hardware. Preferred Qualifications Coursework or project experience in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, or fluid power. Exposure to CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent. Internship or project experience in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability hardware. Familiarity with engineering drawings and technical data packages.
