Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Amca
<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The Senior Manufacturing Engineer is the technical backbone of our growth and bid process. You will own bill of materials (BOM) costing, run comparative analysis across designs and suppliers, and serve as the technical point of contact for post-award execution. You will read engineering drawings, interpret requirements, build out BOMs, and produce CAD as needed to support feasibility and cost work. You do not need to be a design engineer. What matters is that you can take a set of drawings and requirements, understand what it takes to build the hardware, and translate that into accurate cost and a sound technical recommendation.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own BOM development and costing for incoming opportunities. <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Break down drawings and requirements into a complete, accurate BOM.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build and refine should-cost models and pricing inputs to support competitive, margin-accurate bids.</li> </ul> </li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Run comparative analysis across design approaches, materials, processes, and suppliers to identify the lowest-risk, lowest-cost path to build.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Serve as the technical point of contact for post-award execution, supporting engineering change evaluations, production planning, and quality resolution.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&amp;T, and military and aerospace specifications to assess manufacturability and fit with Amca factory capabilities.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Produce CAD as needed to support costing, feasibility, and technical analysis.</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Make go/no-go recommendations based on technical feasibility, capacity, risk, and strategic fit.</li> <li
