The Blueprint for Engineering Success: Part 2 We are proud to celebrate National Engineers’ Week, a time dedicated to recognizing engineers' impact on shaping the world around us. At Safran Federal Systems, we are fortunate to have an incredible team of engineers whose problem-solving skills, efficiency-driven innovations, and dedication propel our company forward. Their contributions deserve recognition, and this week we are honored to spotlight one of our own: Brent Abbott. This year’s theme, “Design Your Future”, is both a call to action and a celebration of the limitless possibilities in engineering. In part two, we’re diving into the real world of engineering with Brent Abbott, sharing invaluable advice, strategies to stay motivated, and lessons that have shaped his journey. Whether you are embarking on your engineering path or curious about the field, this conversation offers insights that are inspiring and useful. Turning Challenges into Triumphs Challenges are an inevitable part of any profession, but in engineering —where deadlines are tight, obstacles are constant, and solutions must be delivered — overcoming them is a necessity and an achievement. “I think in a similar vein, when you feel like the cards are stacked against you in terms of time to develop something, but you really want to get the greatest thing out and developed, I'd say balancing that act of balancing the scheduled deliverables, but also the pushing the new state of the art technologies they want to get out the door really helps drive what we do here as a business and what I do in my own life. So , solving the complex challenges and understanding how we fit what was effectively, I guess the size of a piece of paper, in terms of a schematic or like a design, or like, a hardware solution down into that of a business card I would say is really one of my proudest moments from an engineering standpoint. And it was a really hard problem to solve too, but ultimately did it, and that was great.” In the moment, challenges can feel relentless, but they empower you to transform. Each obstacle you conquer builds new skills, strengthens resilience, and pushes you to look beyond what you thought was impossible. Looking back, you will realize that those moments were steps to shape who you are today. Understanding the Problem Rather than Jumping into a Solution While Brent excels in building innovative solutions, his success comes from a fundamental principle — understanding the problem before jumping into a solution. This mindset has guided him throughout his engineering journey, shaping the way he tackles challenges and drives progress. “The first piece of advice that I got as an engineer when I first started working was: to always understand the problem, rather than jumping into the solution . The idea behind that is that, while we love solving complex problems, we always want to say ‘All right, let's just start trying things now.’ It always helps to take a step back and understand what the problems are, so you can take a methodical approach to solving those problems. If you already start down a path that you find might not be the right path you might get off into the right or otherwise turn left when you were supposed to turn right for that example, right? So if we kind of take a step back and understand the problem at a higher level, you can start choosing which path to take first and then when you know that you're going down that wrong path, you can always backtrack and move a different way. In the same vein, I'd say, when you’re down that path and you realize that that was the wrong path, always ensure that you're learning from that mistake and moving in a different direction. So that's to say, failure is an option. Learn from your failure and always move forward from that.” Failure is not the end; it is a part of the journey. When you shift your perspective and see failure as progress rather than a setback, it becomes a powerful force that drives you toward greater success. Staying Motivated Through Failure We’ve all experienced failure — but the real challenge is how we push forward after facing it repeatedly. In engineering, setbacks are inevitable, but they are also steppingstones toward innovation and success. So, how do we stay motivated when things don’t go as planned? “If you are able to remain optimistic and realistic in your approach that definitely helps out in terms of being able to continue that progress and understand you know, at the end of the day, we're still marching towards the same goal over the same conclusion, so even if you veer off left or off right you can always course correct and get back in the path that you want to take anyway. And then don't let it discourage you when you do fail because you know, it's always a learning moment. There's always an opportunity to do something different. No one is going to say you did terribly, because at the end of the day we’re all one happy team that’s really trying to bring everyone together to do something as a group, rather than an individual.” Each attempt, each lesson, and each step forward brings you closer to success. By maintaining a forward-thinking mindset, you build resilience, refine your skills, and get to contribute to something great. Shaping Ideas into Reality Engineers are constantly designing and building incredible innovations, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask Brent: What is the coolest thing you have ever built or designed? "The coolest thing I designed, actually was —so it was cool to me because I was a kid and not necessarily an adult, but I was able to design like a miniature robot car that was able to use motion sensors, proximity sensors and infrared light sensors, had motors for—it was a wheel—so had motors and whatnot, but it was a small robot car and I was able to program it so that it would follow lines as well as if it got too close to wall it would backtrack and go in a different direction. And it was cool to me because I think that's what kind of jump-started — my interest in solving complex problems. But also being a kid, it was like, oh, this is pretty cool. I think it's still in my parent's house in my room but yeah that fun. That was a good time. That was cool to me.” Looking back on past projects, whether it’s an early creation or recent innovation, is a powerful reminder of growth. Each project builds on the last, shaping new skills and expanding what’s possible. Engineers like you are constantly pushing boundaries and transforming ideas into reality. Recognizing the Imprint of Engineers Brent’s journey is one of persistence, collaboration, and leadership — qualities that define great engineers. As we celebrate his story, we also recognize and appreciate all engineers who push the boundaries of what’s possible and for that, we say thank you.

The Blueprint for Engineering Success : Part 1 We are proud to celebrate National Engineers’ Week, a time dedicated to recognizing engineers' impact on shaping the world around us. At Safran Federal Systems, we are fortunate to have an incredible team of engineers whose problem-solving skills, efficiency-driven innovations, and dedication propel our company forward. Their contributions deserve recognition, and this week we are honored to spotlight one of our own: Brent Abbott. This year’s theme, “Design Your Future”, is both a call to action and a celebration of the limitless possibilities in engineering. In this post we’re diving into the real world of engineering with Brent Abbott, shining a light on how collaboration can elevate your career and reflecting on some of his proudest moments. Whether you are starting your engineering journey or just curious about what it’s like, buckle up—because with Brent there are no dull moments. Demystifying the Engineering World When most people think about engineering, they picture a world of numbers and equations. It is more dynamic and collaborative than we tend to assume. “Most of the time when people think of engineering, it's typically very analytical its very math oriented. But the reality is that not only is it just really analytical, as well as really focused on the math, but more importantly, and most of what happens in your day to day is that it involves a lot of collaboration with other people, involves a lot of developing new innovative systems really pushing the edge of technology and really getting the opportunity to jump into complex problems that you don't normally see when you're just head down writing on paper or kind of solve problems themselves. So I'd say that ultimately it's the ability to grow and understand and try something different, try something new that you don't normally get the opportunity to do in other parts of the industry.” Demystifying the truth of what it feels to be in the engineering world. Sitting down with Brent gave us a glimpse of what it means to be an engineer who on the daily are driven to combine the worlds of analytical thinking, problem-solving and creativity to develop innovative systems that solve complex problems. Collaboration is Key No matter the role or industry, collaboration is an essential trait to possess. Whether you are brainstorming solutions, refining a design, or troubleshooting a problem, the ability to work well with others is what transforms good ideas into remarkable innovation. “Collaboration, I would say, is very important to the innovative and development process, mainly because from a team standpoint, you have to know the people that you're working with and get to understand where they're coming from, what those ideas can be as well as the opportunity to learn, grow, experience new opportunities and get feedback on what you're designing and collaborating on. Collaboration provides an opportunity to get a lot of new ideas into the design process that you don't normally get if you're just working on it yourself. With those new design experiences and those other opinions, you really get a more holistic design solution that provides technical capabilities to the customer as well as creates an overall better solution rather than just one that’s designed by an individual themselves.” The ability to challenge each other, bounce off ideas, and refine designs through discussion leads to effective solutions. At the end of the day, the best ideas are built together. The Blueprint — Starring Brent From engineering solutions to engineering his own success, Brent’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and collaboration. “If my engineering life were a movie and what I've done, I’d call it The Blueprint, let’s go with that. I call it blueprints because kind of in engineering you’re always designing something you always have to have some sort of architecture model to what you're developing, so it always is different…I guess the Blueprints because I like music and there's an album called The Blueprint 3 that I really enjoy.” Reflecting on Proudest Career Moments Loving your job is one thing, but true fulfillment comes from making an impact. For Brent, those proud moments happen continuously, each one reinforcing his passion for engineering and innovation. “I love the work that I do, love getting the opportunity to work on new technologies, new innovative things I would say. From a career standpoint, lately, I've gotten opportunities to work in and lead and develop teams that work on cutting-edge technologies that are either refactoring of what we've done today, or completely new architectures and give me the opportunity to work with the team to drive to a solution in the end is what helps drive me and makes me excited about what I do every day…Ultimately, when the customer comes back and says, thank you for what you did you delivered something that was difficult to make, but we're happy with what you provided.” In every career, there are moments when creativity and teamwork come together to build something amazing. For Brent, those proud moments are not just milestones but reasons why he keeps pushing forward and inspiring others to do the same. The Journey of an Engineer If you have ever wondered what it means to be an engineer, we have taken a deep dive through Brent’s perspective. His role is not only about driving cutting-edge technology, but leading, learning, and innovating alongside his team. However, this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for Part Two, where we dive deeper into his experiences, challenges, and other insights. Feeling inspired? Explore career opportunities at Safran Federal Systems CAREERS

Engineering Her Future: Women in Science A powerful reminder that success is about daring to embrace your passions, navigate obstacles, and carve a unique way forward. We spotlight the encouraging journey of Kristina Naumovska, a mechanical engineer at Safran Federal Systems. As we celebrate National Women and Girls in Science Day on February 11th, Kristina’s path is one to inspire women and girls who dream of making a mark in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) world. A Career Meant For Her Kristina’s journey to becoming a mechanical engineer was not a straightforward one but it serves as a testament to the fact that life often takes un in unexpected directions. In our conversation with her, we learned that her early struggles did not deter her from pursuing a career in STEM but instead drove her to explore a different route. "I originally wanted to pursue a career in dentistry, but I struggled with biology. However, I enjoyed my other science courses and was especially good at math. My mom was a mechanical engineer as well, so I figured it might be in my blood. I decided to give that a shot instead, I’m happy I did!" Looking at things differently, Kristina didn’t let her struggle discourage her from going after what was a possibility to create a rewarding career path for herself. Those stepping stones allowed her to discover her true calling. Overcoming Obstacles As a young woman in a male-dominated field, Kristina struggled with raising questions when confused. Through the great surroundings of amazing people who lifted her up and advocated for her voice to be heard, she realized how her fear held her back. "Going through college and my first internship, I would struggle speaking up when I was confused or had questions to avoid looking unintelligent. I realized quickly that this mindset wouldn’t get me far, and that I’m not expected to know everything. I’m thankful I had great professors, coworkers and leaders that made it clear that no question is a silly one." Kristina’s experience speaks to a broader issue many women face in STEM: to silence oneself out of fear of judgment. Yet, she emphasizes that asking questions to seek clarity is essential for success. It helps contribute to the advancement of both you and the team. A Look Towards the Future Looking toward the future of STEM, she is excited about the connection of artificial intelligence (AI) and product design. “This breakthrough can aid engineers in generating designs in CAD and minimize error.” Her enthusiasm for AI reflects the excitement many in the field feel about the continuous reshaping of the future of science and engineering. Women in STEM have the opportunity to be at the forefront of these developments, bringing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the table. Inspiring Future Generations Kristina’s story is not just about her personal success—it’s about paving the way for future generations of women in science. As more women join the world of STEM professionals, they not only break down the barriers for themselves but also inspire young girls to pursue their passions in the field. Are you up for the challenge? The world of science is waiting for you to make your mark! Feeling inspired? Explore career opportunities at Safran Federal Systems CAREERS

Shaping The World Around Us We are proud to celebrate National Engineers’ Week, a time dedicated to recognizing engineers' impact on shaping the world around us. At Safran Federal Systems, we are fortunate to have an incredible team of engineers whose problem-solving skills, efficiency-driven innovations, and dedication propel our company forward. Their contributions deserve recognition, and this week we are honored to spotlight one of our own: Michael Trinidad. This year’s theme, “Design Your Future”, is both a call to action and a celebration of the limitless possibilities in engineering. Michael Trinidad’s journey, from an aspiring young builder to a Mechanical Engineer and now an Engineering Manager showcases the power of tenacity, adaptability, and creative power. To gain a deeper insight into his career we sat down with Michael for an intriguing conversation about the moment his passion for engineering took shape, the experience that defined his career, and one of the many achievements he is most proud of. Looking Through a Different Lens Great engineers are always evolving and learning. A great piece of advice he has received as an engineer and kept along the way is: "You can’t change physics just because someone wants you to. It’s something that seems obvious but looking at certain problems through that lens has helped me step back and look for unique trade spaces to solve complex problems or project requirements." In engineering, there can be limits to what is possible, but the key is to work within those constraints and find creative solutions that push boundaries without ignoring the laws of nature. Engineering Is All Around Us Have you ever stopped to think about how much longer your daily routine would take if you didn’t have the products or systems you rely on? Here is something you might consider about the engineering world after reading this: "It exists everywhere. From the simplest objects to the most complex, some engineering work went into the creation, fabrication, and delivery of that product." Engineering is all around us and we don’t often notice its effect. From the technology we use to the infrastructures we depend on, engineering makes everyday tasks more efficient, seamless, and innovative. A Passion for Building and Creating From an early age, Michael was captivated by the process of building and creating with his hands. "I’ve always loved building things and learning how things work or are made. I grew up on building LEGO and stealing scrap wood from my dad to build treehouses so my hands on problem solving nature led me to mechanical engineering. The Defense industry was interesting to me because it’s where a lot of cutting-edge technology is developed and utilized to solve complex, meaningful and potentially life-saving products and services." This early curiosity guided him to study engineering, ultimately leading to a career in the defense industry, where he applies his skills in solving complex challenges and driving innovation. Milestones of Progress Not every challenge has a clear solution, making the path less smooth. Yet, it is through these obstacles that we push our limits, grow, and come out stronger. "Transitioning from an individual contributor as a mechanical engineer to an engineering manager of multiple disciplines. Finding the right balance of technical oversight, team support, and learning new domain knowledge was a challenge that I’m proud to have navigated and found my place in the new role." Challenges may not always feel rewarding at the moment, but looking back, they become milestones of progress and resilience. Now, stepping into his managerial role, he can draw from his past experiences and guide his team toward success. Leaving a Lasting Impact Throughout Michael’s incredible journey, he has contributed to remarkable projects, each leaving a lasting impact. When asked to highlight just one, he reflected on the many milestones that shaped his career. "At my previous employer, I had the opportunity to work heavily on the design for the flagship multi-channel military radio, the AN/PRC-163. The complexity and functionality of that product still amazes me to this day." As we navigate our paths, we encounter unexpected milestones—proof of our capability and perseverance. These moments are reminders of how far we have come and deserve to be celebrated. We are delighted to highlight Michael’s journey and share his experience as he is continuously making an impact at Safran, but most significantly the world. Feeling inspired?
