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

Our Senior Technical Sourcer will own the top of funnel for our Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Supply Chain roles — identifying, engaging, and building relationships with top talent before they ever reach a recruiter. This is a ground floor opportunity to shape how Amca sources and builds pipeline from the very first touchpoint, laying the foundation for our recruiting process as we scale.

What You'll Do

• Partner in-person with recruiters and hiring managers across Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Supply Chain teams to understand role requirements, must-have skills, and team dynamics
• Build sourcing strategies and talent maps tailored to each discipline (e.g., mechanical design engineers, electrical/hardware engineers, embedded and application software engineers, supply chain planners/buyers)
• Proactively identify and engage passive candidates primarily via LinkedIn Recruiter, supplemented by other relevant channels (professional associations, engineering forums) as needed
• Adapt search strategy and Boolean queries to the discipline — e.g., mechanical/electrical hardware talent vs. software engineers vs. supply chain/procurement professionals
• Write and send compelling, personalized outreach messages via LinkedIn tailored to each candidate audience, generating strong response rates

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience sourcing or recruiting for technical roles, ideally spanning multiple disciplines (engineering and/or supply chain)
• Top Performer in your current company and metrics to prove it
• Hands-on proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter (Boolean search, InMail strategy, talent pools/projects)
• Hands-on proficiency with Greenhouse (pipeline management, candidate tagging, reporting)
• Ability to quickly learn and speak credibly across different technical vocabularies — e.g., understanding the difference between a controls engineer and a design engineer, or a demand planner and a sourcing/procurement specialist
• Excellent written communication skills — you know how to craft outreach that resonates with very different candidate audiences
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities across multiple concurrent searches
• Data-driven mindset — comfortable tracking metrics and adjusting approach based on results
• A genuine curiosity about hardware, engineering, and supply chain/operations functions
• Ability to work full-time on-site in El Segundo, CA
