(CME) is a 29-year Tampa Bay small business supporting aerospace, defense, industrial, and energy customers with custom engineered and build-to-print products as well as its own product lines. The opportunity Our engineers need an experienced leader they can go to with their technical questions — someone who has solved the hard problems before, enjoys talking engineering, and wants to help a capable team get better.
