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 Mechanical Engineer, Sales is the front line of our strategic growth projects. You will be the first set of eyes on every new opportunity, evaluating whether Amca and its factories have the design capability, manufacturing capacity, and supply chain access to deliver. You must be able to read engineering drawings, understand manufacturing processes, and translate technical feasibility into sound business decisions around pricing and bid strategy. Responsibilities Serve as the first-line technical reviewer for all incoming opportunities, evaluating engineering specifications to determine manufacturability and fit with Amca factory capabilities. Assess design complexity, material requirements, tolerances, and process constraints to develop accurate cost estimates and competitive bid pricing. Make go/no-go recommendations on opportunities based on technical feasibility, capacity, risk, and strategic alignment. Collaborate with factory engineering and manufacturing teams to validate production approaches, lead times, and tooling requirements before bid submission. Develop and refine internal pricing models and should-cost frameworks to improve competitiveness and margin accuracy over time.
