From Aerospace & defence
New product introduction, process capability and first-article discipline are the same job on a faster clock.
Nothing standing in the wayFrom Automotive (volume)

Validated processes, traceability and change control are a strength. Machining and composites processes are the gap.
What you would need to add
Programming and running 5-axis machining centres. The step up from 3-axis that motorsport work usually requires.
