Role summary
Amca is seeking a temporary Technical Writer for a 3-6 month contract position at their El Segundo, CA headquarters. The role involves obtaining, organizing, and updating technical documentation, including generating CAD models and drawings from source material. Responsibilities include digitizing legacy documentation, proofreading, and submitting proposals. The ideal candidate has strong attention to detail, proficiency with Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office Suite, and file management systems, and can read engineering drawings and specifications. Experience with AS9100/ISO 9001, Confluence/Jira, and handling controlled documents is preferred. This position requires U.S. person status due to ITAR regulations.
There was a time when all of America believed that the future of the physical world could be radically different. The engineers of the mid-1900s put a man on the moon in eight years, designed and built planes and submarines from scratch in under three, and conceived of building things we wouldn’t even be able to dream up today.
Today, the last of the engineers who imagined and built these systems are retiring. As they go, we lose not only the engineering knowledge gained from their decades of imagination and trial-and-error, but also the spirit that made that imagination possible.
Amca is working day-in and day-out to restore America’s ability to engineer anything that our critical systems depend on, and reinvigorate the cycle of creation that allows imagination to shape physical reality. We rapidly develop and manufacture new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. By restoring the capability of our antiquated supply chains, we increase the country’s capacity to imagine and realize new systems, and make a physical world that looks very different from today.
