RF and microwave component manufacturer for defense and aerospace
CPI EDB manufactures radio frequency and microwave subsystems for defense and aerospace applications across two primary facilities in Massachusetts and the UK. The tech stack reflects legacy manufacturing operations (JD Edwards ERP, SQL, Oracle SCM) with active modernization underway: they're integrating JD Edwards with modern data warehouses and piloting AI platforms while addressing export compliance at scale. The engineering-heavy hiring mix (9 roles) paired with significant manufacturing and operations headcount signals production ramp-up, likely driven by their high-mix low-volume production challenges and yield improvement initiatives.
