About The Position

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: Amca is looking for sharp, high-energy interns to join our Business Operations team. You will work directly on the workflows that keep Amca's pipeline moving — supporting business development, tracking opportunities, and helping execute on new growth. This is a fast-paced, high-ownership role where your work will have direct impact on the company's growth. You will collaborate cross-functionally with program management, engineering, and production teams to help identify and execute new business opportunities.
