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 Junior Propulsion Component Engineer supports the design and development of Amca's propulsion control hardware under the direction of senior engineers. You will contribute to the design of valves,...

Fuel and lube systems. Structural hardware. Component testing. Assembly processes built from scratch. At Boom, you'll own some of the hardest mechanical engineering challenges and real hardware - on day one of your career. We hire a small number of early-career engineers and give them a level of ownership that most companies reserve for people with a decade of experience. You won't be supporting someone else's design or waiting your turn. You'll be the engineer of record on systems that matter, making real decisions, and seeing your work turn into hardware. We're building two engines at once: Superpower, a 42 MW gas turbine for AI data centers, and Symphony, a medium-bypass turbofan designed for Mach 1.7 cruise. That means designing mechanical systems that can withstand extreme temperatures, demanding operating conditions, and rapid iteration cycles. There isn't a playbook for what we're building. You'll help create it. This job is demanding and rewarding. This job isn't...

Manufacturing Engineer (Machining) 1ST SHIFT • HEAVY MACHINING • MARINE & DEFENSE Riverside, Missouri • Full-Time • $90,000 - $105,000 / year + full benefits THE SHORT VERSION We build the machinery that moves ships.

We need a Manufacturing Engineer on the machining side - horizontal boring mills, large lathes, and everything that surrounds them. This is a hands-on job. You will be in the office when you need to be and on the floor the rest of the time, with the machines and the people running them. We are not looking for someone to keep the process running the way it has always run. We have been at this since 1960, and some of what we do is proven and some of it is just old. We want an engineer who can tell the difference - who asks why we do it this way, goes and finds...

Stall margin on a high-pressure-ratio compressor. Cooling a turbine blade running in a gas path above its own melting point. At Boom, you'll own problems like these in your first year. We hire a small number of early-career engineers and give them more responsibility than their résumés justify. At most companies you'd spend a few years meshing geometry someone else defined and re-running cycle decks someone else scoped before you touch real hardware. Here, entry-level Turbomachinery Engineers get a piece of the machine - a combustor liner, a compressor stage match, the secondary air system that cools the turbine disks, a transient stability or fuel-air mixing problem nobody has solved yet - and are accountable for making it work on the test stand. We're building two engines at once: Superpower, a 42 MW gas turbine for AI data centers, and Symphony, a medium-bypass turbofan designed for Mach 1.7 cruise. Neither is on a schedule that leaves room for waiting your turn. The propulsion...
