<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Summary:</span></strong><span data-contrast="auto">  Our Capabilities Director is a high-horsepower, intellectually curious team member who sits at the center of Amca’s acquisition and growth strategy – supplying rigorous commercial diligence on acquisitions, researching companies and capabilities Amca should buy or build, and supporting post-close value creation. This role is designed for someone who can move fluidly between deal analysis, market research, and operational execution, and who thrives in environments where the work is broad, the stakes are high, and no two weeks look the same. Over time, this individual will have the opportunity to take on special projects that touch every part of the Amca platform.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":200}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">ABOUT THE TEAM</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559739":120}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">This role is part of Amca’s Corporate Development team and reports directly to Matt Soulas (CFO), with frequent interaction with the executive team, engineering and operations leadership, and general managers across Amca’s growing portfolio.
