Senior Technical Sourcer

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.

Overview

Our Senior Technical Sourcer will own the top of funnel for our Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Supply Chain roles — identifying, engaging, and building relationships with top talent before they ever reach a recruiter. This is a ground floor opportunity to shape how Amca sources and builds pipeline from the very first touchpoint, laying the foundation for our recruiting process as we scale.

What You'll Do

• • Partner in-person with recruiters and hiring managers across Mechanical, Electrical, Software, and Supply Chain teams to understand role requirements, must-have skills, and team dynamics
  • Build sourcing strategies and talent maps tailored to each discipline (e.g., mechanical design engineers, electrical/hardware engineers, embedded and application software engineers, supply chain planners/buyers)
  • Proactively identify and engage passive candidates primarily via LinkedIn Recruiter, supplemented by other relevant channels (professional associations, engineering forums) as needed
  • Adapt search strategy and Boolean queries to the discipline — e.g., mechanical/electrical hardware talent vs. software engineers vs. supply chain/procurement professionals
  • Write and send compelling, personalized outreach messages via LinkedIn tailored to each candidate audience, generating strong response rates

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience sourcing or recruiting for technical roles, ideally spanning multiple disciplines (engineering and/or supply chain)
• Top Performer in your current company and metrics to prove it
• Hands-on proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter (Boolean search, InMail strategy, talent pools/projects)
• Hands-on proficiency with Greenhouse (pipeline management, candidate tagging, reporting)
• Ability to quickly learn and speak credibly across different technical vocabularies — e.g., understanding the difference between a controls engineer and a design engineer, or a demand planner and a sourcing/procurement specialist
• Excellent written communication skills — you know how to craft outreach that resonates with very different candidate audiences
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities across multiple concurrent searches
• Data-driven mindset — comfortable tracking metrics and adjusting approach based on results
• A genuine curiosity about hardware, engineering, and supply chain/operations functions
• Ability to work full-time on-site in El Segundo, CA
