Medical Designer Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

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.

Amca’s Designer will be responsible for continually bringing our aesthetic vision to life across every imaginable medium, using and building on a new brand system developed with our friends at Day Job. You will work closely with our Senior Designer and VP of Strategy and Business to

While the work is ever-changing, you’ll help us with things like:

• Conceptualizing and designing maximalist posters that capture the Amca ethos for display in our multiple offices and factories
• Designing poster‑like slide decks for customers with a degree of personalization that almost feels unbelievable
• Creating merch for our brands that captures the essence of their respective cultures, built over many decades
• Creating custom marketing collateral for each of our flagship brands: physical brochures, physical objects, packing materials

You’re probably a good fit for this role if:

• You are an excellent graphic designer (as a baseline)
• You are proficient in Adobe Suite and Figma
• You feel like more designers need to play with the medium in which they express their ideas, rather than constraining themselves to just one
• You believe you cannot separate aesthetics from function
• You feel that 99% of contemporary graphic design is bad, but >50% of graphic design from the 1950s-70s is good
• You see design as the art of shaping experience in totality, rather than simply creating visual assets
• You’re comfortable with campaign conceptualization, not just design itself
• You’re comfortable operationalizing your ideas (sourcing suppliers, external partners) when they require additional help
• You can work with time pressure across multiple projects, and make thoughtful trade‑offs to meet external deadlines

You get bonus points if:

• You can spin up webpages yourself without the help of a web developer, whether because you can code yourself or because you’re good at using AI tools
• You know your way around Blender, Cinema4D or Maya
• You have illustration chops

This role is in‑person in our new, Charlap Hyman & Herrero designed office and factory in El Segundo, in the heart of Southern California’s aviation industry.

Come help us breathe new life into an industry that used to represent humanity’s boldest ambitions. We need your help!
