OperationsLogistics & Supply ChainSupply Chain Manager

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.

The Supply Chain Manager is responsible for executing planning and procurement operations that support product development at the fastest pace in the industry. You will lead the strategic sourcing of high-complexity aerospace components, build scalable supply chain workflows from the ground up, and ensure rapid turnarounds for our R&D and manufacturing teams. We are looking for a high-agency professional who thrives in a fast-moving, dynamic environment and possesses the technical acumen to work directly with engineering and suppliers.
