About AEM

Aircraft Electric Motors has been repairing, overhauling, and manufacturing aerospace electrical components since 1972. From our 60,000 sq ft Miami Lakes facility, we serve military, commercial, corporate, and rotorcraft customers worldwide, and provide manufacturing services to a number of Fortune 500 companies. We hold FAA, EASA, and UK CAA Part 145 approvals, AS9100D certification, and NADCAP accreditation. Our work covers rotors, armatures, stators, exciters, fields, coils, and solenoids for AC and DC aerospace generators and motors.

We're growing our company by adding manufacturing capacity, expanding our program work, and investing in our engineering team.

The Role

We're adding Mechanical or Aerospace Engineer, reporting to our Engineering Manager and working alongside a senior engineering team with more than 100 combined years of aerospace experience, including a Director of Operations with 20+ years inside this business. You'll take ownership of technical engineering work across repair, overhaul, sub-component manufacturing, and prototyping. The role is hands-on with floor time, root cause work, detailed inspections and direct involvement in production engineering.

What you'll do

• Assist with repair and overhaul programs including failure analysis, root cause, corrective action.
• Develop and maintain repair processes, work instructions, and engineering orders compliant with FAA/EASA/CAA Part 145 and AS9100D.
• Support reverse engineering and new program introduction: tooling design, process flow development, prototyping, and first-article qualification.
• Use our extensive in-house resources – full machine shop, 3D modeling, and 3D printing – to take prototypes from concept to production.
• Perform and record detailed inspections with traditional & computer-guided equipment covering both mechanical and electrical checks.
• Partner with production, quality, and the repair station manager on day-to-day technical issues that affect throughput.
• Interface with OEMs and customers on technical questions, deviations, and source approval.

What we need

• BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• Minimum 0 to 2 years in mechanical or aerospace engineering, such as MRO, OEM, or manufacturing. Repair station experience strongly .
• Hands-on background with electrical and/or mechanical components
• Comfortable on a production floor, not just behind a screen.
• Direct, accountable, and bias toward action.

Nice to have

• Reverse engineering experience.
• Experience with NADCAP special processes (heat treat, NDT, plating, vacuum impregnation).
• Familiarity with CMM programming, GD&T, 3D modeling (SolidWorks/CATIA), tool planning or pathing (Fusion360), or rotating component balancing.
• Hands-on background with electrical components: motors, generators, transformers, exciters, or related rotating equipment.
• Prior military program experience.

Why AEM

• 50+ years in business, debt-disciplined, owner-operated.
• Senior engineering team with 100+ combined years in aerospace — you'll learn from leaders who've been here decades.
• In-house engineering, machine shop, and prototyping. Projects don't get bottlenecked waiting on outside vendors.
• Fortune 500 manufacturing customer base and a stable, growing book of OEM and military program work.
• Direct access to ownership and leadership.
