AV is a public defense manufacturer with 1,001–5,000 employees scaling rapidly across unmanned systems, directed energy, cyber warfare, and space. The tech stack reveals a company in mid-modernization: entrenched in Oracle ERP, PLM, and MATLAB workflows while adopting dbt and Oracle Fusion—a pattern common to legacy manufacturing moving toward data-driven supply-chain and cost modeling. Hiring is engineering-heavy (251 roles open) with accelerating velocity, and active projects center on manufacturing strategy, design-for-manufacturability, and enterprise-wide CMMC compliance.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Business Development Director, Program Director, Finance Director, Missile Hardware Integration Lead
