We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. Work Experience
Experience managing programs involving electronic components, PCBs, harnesses, electromechanical assemblies, or precision mechanical parts.

• Background in procurement, supply chain, or engineering within commercial, aerospace, or defense environments.
• Familiarity with military standards, export controls, and quality requirements.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage multiple priorities, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems, BOM management, and project management tools.
• Acute Attention to Detail: In aviation, a single wrong digit in a part number or a missing certification can ground a project.
• Pressure Management: Comfortable hitting month-end sales targets while managing supply chain bottlenecks.
