Open Application, Growth at Amca (El Segundo, CA)
Amca· El Segundo, CA·
Job 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 growth team at Amca is always hiring a wide range of people across design, writing, film direction, creative direction, strategy, special projects, “comms”, talent, and more. These roles are often somewhat amorphous and shaped to the specific talents and interests of the person in question. They are also the most asymmetric roles at the company.
That being said, if any of our public writing, content, or mission resonates with you, please reach out through this general application and share anything and everything you'd like about yourself. This position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All applicants must be U.S. persons within the meaning of ITAR. ITAR defines a US person as: any individual who is granted U.S. citizenship; or. any individual who is granted U.S. permanent residence ("Green Card" holder); or. any individual who is granted status as a "protected person" under 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3).
