Defense optics manufacturer scaling precision production in Michigan
EOTECH manufactures holographic weapon sights and optical systems for military, law enforcement, and civilian markets—a hardware-first business where operational excellence drives competitive advantage. The hiring mix (manufacturing and operations roles dominate; engineering is sparse) and pain-point list (yield, scrap, equipment automation, vendor quality) reveal a company optimizing production capacity and repeatability rather than chasing new-product velocity. Stack choices—SolidWorks, Zemax OpticStudio, MATLAB, and quality-control tools like Minitab and FMEA—are typical of precision manufacturing, not software innovation.
EOTECH designs and manufactures holographic sights, riflescopes, and optical systems for defense, law enforcement, hunting, and sport-shooting markets. The company originated the holographic optics category in 1996 and manufactures products at its headquarters in Plymouth, Michigan. Distribution reaches military and government entities globally, as well as sporting goods and independent dealers domestically. The product portfolio spans holographic sights and riflescope systems, with manufacturing and supply-chain operations vertically integrated at the Michigan facility. Active projects focus on new defense-program qualification, production scaling, and manufacturing-process optimization.
