About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Operating Officer to lead its operational transformation and scale complex engineering and production operations. The role will build the teams, facilities, supply chain, quality systems, and processes needed to move from prototypes to reliable, flight-qualified hardware and software delivery. Responsibilities include establishing cross-functional controls across program delivery, production, supply chain, quality, and mission assurance, while improving schedule and specification performance. The COO will partner with technical teams and senior leadership, guide organizational change,



and strengthen collaboration and accountability.

Candidates should bring 15 or more years of progressive operations, engineering, or program leadership experience, including at least five years as a senior operations executive. A proven record of scaling complex engineering and production operations and transitioning prototypes to repeatable delivery is essential. Experience in space, aerospace, or defence, AS9100 certification, government contracting and compliance, and facility expansion is advantageous. The role also calls for sound commercial judgment, disciplined execution, a builder mindset, and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Government of Canada security clearance.
