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

Growth at Amca takes on all 0-to-1 projects. These projects are broadly split into two categories. Special Projects is largely focused on new business initiatives and internal operations. It requires deep intellectual creativity, research rigor, and the ability to communicate complex ideas. Brand is largely focused on resonating an idea with a specific audience (e.g. talent, acquisitions, government). It requires deep creativity, intense empathy, and the ability to articulate aesthetic taste.

Everyone on growth is extremely analytical, persuasive, moves quickly, and is unwilling to ever take no as an answer. You are probably a great fit if you're currently a serious humanities student.
