- **Company:** Amca
- **Location:** El Segundo, CA
- **Compensation:** $70k–$110k
- **Posted:** 2026-10-01

## Job description

There was a time when all of America believed that the future of the physical world could be radically different. The engineers of the mid-1900s put a man on the moon in eight years, designed and built planes and submarines from scratch in under three, and conceived of building things we wouldn’t even be able to dream up today.

Today, the last of the engineers who imagined and built these systems are retiring. As they go, we lose not only the engineering knowledge gained from their decades of imagination and trial-and-error, but also the spirit that made that imagination possible.

Amca is working day-in and day-out to restore America’s ability to engineer anything that our critical systems depend on, and reinvigorate the cycle of creation that allows imagination to shape physical reality. We rapidly develop and manufacture new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. By restoring the capability of our antiquated supply chains, we increase the country’s capacity to imagine and realize new systems, and make a physical world that looks very different from today.

## Overview

Amca is one of the fastest growing aerospace and defense startups and runs on an IT infrastructure that has to meet Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements. You will be the second person in IT at our El Segundo headquarters, working with our director of IT and MSP to own day-to-day support for the people who work here, including accounts, endpoints, hardware, and the problems that walk up to your desk. This is a hands-on role in a small function, which means no queue to hide behind and no ceiling on what you can pick up as you grow into the role.

## Responsibilities

- Own day-to-day IT support at headquarters, including intake, triage, resolution, and escalation across hardware, software, accounts, connectivity, and conference rooms.
- Run the employee lifecycle, including onboarding and offboarding, account provisioning and deprovisioning, group and license assignment, equipment issue and recovery.
- Deploy and manage endpoints, including imaging, enrollment, configuration, patching, refresh and maintenance of accurate hardware and software asset records.
- Support administration of Microsoft 365 and endpoint tooling in a GCC High tenant, including Entra ID, Intune, Defender, conditional access policies, and licensing.
- Support core infrastructure, including network connectivity, wireless, VPN, printing, backup verification, and physical IT in the office and lab space.
- Provide surge support for IT integrations and special projects at factories across the US.
- Maintain security hygiene on the endpoint fleet.

## Basic Qualifications

- 3+ years in IT support, helpdesk, or systems administration.
- Hands-on administration of Windows endpoints and Microsoft 365 in a production environment.
- Working experience with Entra ID (Azure AD) and Intune, including device enrollment and policy.
- Experience working tickets in a formal ticketing system.
- Builder who is comfortable operating in an ambiguous environment, where processes and procedures are still being developed.
- Excellent communication with non-technical colleagues, including people on the shop floor and in the lab.
- Onsite five days a week in El Segundo, CA.
- Willing to travel up to 20% of the time to support integration and special projects at factories across US.

## Preferred Skills and Experience

- Experience in a Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant or other government cloud environments(GCC, Azure Government, AWS GovCloud).
- Experience supporting an environment subject to CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, or CUI handling requirements.
- Manufacturing, industrial, or lab IT experience, including shop-floor and test equipment.
- Networking fundamentals, such as switching, VLANs, firewalls, and VPNs.
- Certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, or Security+, or Microsoft MD-102 or AZ-104.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
