About the role
The Product Software Engineer role is an extreme ownership role and responsible for identifying where Amca moves more slowly than it should and building the software that resolves it. You will embed directly with teams at headquarters and across our factories nationwide, spending meaningful time on the floor to understand how the work actually gets done before deciding what to build. This is a hybrid of product management, software engineering, and design. You will identify the problem, evaluate whether it is worth solving, design the solution, build it, put it in front of the people who will use it, and remain with it until it is working in practice. Some of what you build will be an exploratory prototype that answers a question within a few days and is then set aside, which is a successful outcome in its own right.You will work directly with production, quality, planning, supply chain, and engineering teams across our sites, building tools that fit the way those teams already work and that measurably improve throughput, quality, or lead time. This position requires use of information which is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All applicants must be U.S. persons within the meaning of ITAR. ITAR defines a US person as: any individual who is granted U.S. citizenship; or. any individual who is granted U.S. permanent residence ("Green Card" holder); or. any individual who is granted status as a "protected person" under 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3).
