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.OverviewAmca's Technical Editor will be responsible for translating the company's extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities into credible, technically-grounded content that reaches both engineering recruits and end customers in critical sectors, including but not limited to defense and aerospace.
