Production Operations Internship (Summer 2027)
About The Position
Amca is building America’s new industrial base by rapidly developing and manufacturing new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. Amca is hiring hands-on production operations interns to help keep tens of thousands of components a month moving through the factories quickly, efficiently, and reliably. The work also supports Protoshop, where the goal is to take new engineered products from design to qualification faster than any other organization in the country. Interns spend significant time on the floor, machining, testing, and assembling parts, and use what they learn firsthand to make those processes better. The best ideas come from the people doing the work, and improvements show up in output, lead times, and quality. All interns should want to get their hands dirty.
Requirements
- Must be a U.S. person within the meaning of ITAR (U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or protected person status)
- Must be willing to get hands dirty
Responsibilities
- Work hands-on in machining, assembly, and test, learning how each part is actually made and where the process breaks down
- Spot bottlenecks, rework, and wasted motion from the floor, then work with operators and engineers to fix them
- Support Protoshop programs as new products move from design through build, testing, and qualification
- Develop and document standard work, fixtures, tooling, and process improvements that make production faster and more repeatable
- Track throughput, cycle time, yield, and scrap to confirm that changes are working
- Coordinate with engineering, supply chain, quality, and program management to keep builds on schedule
