Aloft AeroArchitects has opened a satellite engineering office in northwest Indianapolis, Indiana.
The company said the expansion strengthens its “growing” engineering operations, enhances access to top aerospace talent in the Midwest, and will be crucial in supporting substantial booked work for the coming years.
The facility at Woodland Corporate Park will house programme management; FAA certification engineering; and structural, electrical, interior and mechanical systems engineers – to support a diverse backlog of VVIP and special-mission modification work.
The space is being modified to create a collaboration-focused workspace.
Aloft plans to hold a job fair in the last week of February to recruit local engineering professionals. A formal grand opening and open house is planned for the end of March.
“Establishing this Indianapolis presence enables us to meet growing customer demand, expand our national reach, and tap into an exceptional engineering talent pool and academia in the area,” said Scott Meyer, CEO at Aloft. “It is an essential step enabling the growth of our team in regions closer to their current homes and supporting our significant backlog and customer commitments as future programmes evolve.”
The Indianapolis office will work alongside Aloft Academy, which trains new and local Delaware-based aviation talent, to expand the company’s capacity.
