Full Job Description
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 The Cybersecurity Program Manager will be responsible for designing and implementing secure, scalable, and well-governed IT systems that support day-to-day operations across Amca and its factories, including compliance with NIST 800-171 standards, CMMC frameworks and other government and customer cybersecurity requirements. This person will lead core IT and security initiatives across corporate systems, end-user devices, factory-connected equipment, vendor management, and internal support. The ideal candidate is practical, technically strong, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced aerospace and defense environment where security, reliability, and compliance matter. Responsibilities Design, implement, and manage Amca’s IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, cloud environments, identity and access management, endpoint management, backups, and security controls. Help build and maintain a secure IT environment aligned with government and customer requirements, including NIST 800-171 standards and CMMC frameworks . Establish systems and processes to manage and secure company devices, including laptops, mobile phones, and connected factory equipment. Support the design of secure arch
