  • Highly analytical, results-oriented, with relentless ownership and a bias for action. 
  • Proven ability to build, lead, and scale a high-performing team. 

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 

  • Extensive experience in the space industry, including understanding of spacecraft integration supply chains, volume-production constraints, and space-qualified hardware. 
  • Hands-on expertise in vertical integration strategies—make/buy analyses, insourcing plans, and aligning internal capabilities with long-term product roadmaps. 
  • Strong background in supplier quality management including PPAP, key characteristic control, root-cause analysis, and supplier corrective-action systems. 
  • Formal training or certification in Six Sigma, Lean, or similar continuous improvement methodologies. 
  • Experience establishing domestic supply paths for high-reliability electronics, propulsion components, structures, and other aerospace-critical subsystems. 
  • Demonstrated ability to operate within a fast-growing startup environment while maintaining structure, discipline, and high standards.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
