Software Engineering Internship (Summer 2027)

Amca•El Segundo, CA

12h

About The Position

Amca is hiring software engineering interns to build the systems that turn decades of engineering knowledge into structured, usable data. The work broadly falls into two areas: software that digitizes, labels, and organizes millions of technical drawings, designs, and engineering documents, and a custom software suite that makes engineers and factory teams faster across the factories and Protoshop. Interns work on real production problems with real users on the other end. The tools built here shape how quickly hardware gets designed, built, and shipped.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, computer or software engineering, mathematics, physics, or a related field
Understand and experience using storage systems, cloud infrastructure, and front-end frameworks
Learns quickly, picks up unfamiliar tools without hand-holding, can understand and write detailed documentation, and takes ownership of everything you build
Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates on plans, updates, and blockers
Must be a U.S. person within the meaning of ITAR (U.S. citizen, Green Card holder, or protected person under 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3))

Nice To Haves

Strong fluency in using AI coding tools to build and ship efficiently, but does not rely on these tools to write code, nor trust these tools entirely to write flawless code. You are responsible for understanding every line an agent writes.
Strong git habits, especially on shared repos, including clear commits, branching, pull requests, reviews
Experience shipping full-stack features or applications to production, through an internship, project team, or personal project
Proficiency in one or more of TypeScript, React, Go, Python, or SQL

Responsibilities

Build pipelines that ingest, digitize, label, and structure large volumes of technical drawings, CAD files, and engineering documentation
Develop internal tools that speed up engineering and manufacturing workflows across the factories and Protoshop, using data we've codified from our acquired factories or by observing the current practices of our factories.
Design and ship full stack products and features
Work directly with engineers and production teams to understand their bottlenecks, turn them into software, measure the software’s impact, and improve product
Improve the performance, reliability, and scalability of existing systems
Write clean, tested, well-documented pseudo-code and code and take part in code review
