EBA&D is a great place to, not only work, but thrive in your success, accomplishments, career goals and life. But don’t take it from us — here is what our people say:

Throughout my career at EBA&D I have continuously been presented with new technical challenges and career prospects. I started at EBA&D, like many twenty-six year olds, thinking that this would be a good place to work for a few years while I built up my resume. My first job was as a technician in the synthesis laboratory, and during my tenure I have had the privilege of working in a variety of roles and responsibilities. Today I am part of the senior management team reporting to the VP of Business Development & Program Management responsible for the Vehicle Survivability market segment. EBA&D has provided me with the opportunities to prosper, satisfying my desire to learn and grow.
— Alan Garvey, Market Segment Manager

There is a strong sense of camaraderie here at EBA&D, which makes work here that much more enjoyable. I’ve yet to have an experience, during the busiest times, where someone hasn’t stopped to offer help even when they can’t really afford to because of their work load. Everyone really pulls together to get the job done, mainly because everyone wants to see the company succeed and grow.
— Erik Saucier, Program Manager

 

Working at EBA&D truly allows me to balance my career and family. EBA&D’s respectful, team environment and meaningful work has increased my skills and opened up many opportunities for continued growth all while supporting my flexible schedule so I can also take care of my family.
— Allison Loudon, Preliminary Design Engineer

 

What we do here at EBA&D is so unique, so one of a kind that everyone takes pride in what they do because no one else can do it.
— Chris Vargas, Project Engineer

 

 

EBA&D is a family owned and operated company that rewards its employees by providing a work environment that is secure, sincere, and satisfying. EBA&D cares about its people and products, which is evident in the quality and care that is placed upon both equally.
— Dave Dussault, Sr. Quality Inspector

 

Working at EBA&D has afforded me the opportunity to take control of my career path. Fresh out of undergrad with an Industrial Engineering background, I began my career at EBA&D working in a lead role on the manufacturing floor. Looking to broaden my perspective, I took advantage of the company’s tuition reimbursement and enrolled at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a full-time MBA student. I then transferred into our Bid & Proposal group to learn more about the front-end of our business. A short two years later, the combination of my academic and work experience provided the opportunity to transition into Program Management overseeing the very programs I started with in Operations.
— Dawn Shaw, Program Manager

 

EBA&D cares about my growth because my growth is tied to the success of the company.
— Meryl Mallery, Project Engineering Manager

 

 

 

 

 

A company’s greatest resource is its people.  I’ve worked in the aerospace industry for ten years and in the short period of working for EBA&D, I can honestly say that I am proud to be part of this company because of the emphasis placed on the value of its employees; promoting growth and opportunity.  At EBA&D you’re a person, not a number.
— Cynthia Alvarez, Program Manager

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am proud to say that I have spent virtually my entire working life as a member of the Ensign-Bickford “family,” having a career that has (thus far) spanned nearly 3 decades.  In today’s business climate, there are fewer and fewer people in the world that can make a statement like that.  It is a testament to how a company and an employee can develop and grow a long-lasting relationship that is mutually respectful, beneficial & satisfying. I have always done my best to help EBA&D succeed, and in turn, I feel that I have been rewarded fairly and am truly a valuable member of a family.
— Eric Habermehl, Quality Assurance Manager

 

 

 

 

I started working at EBA&D as an intern working on my first aerospace project developing & manufacturing a Safe & Arm device. As a recent graduate, EBA&D has allowed me to further extend my knowledge with hands on experience and the opportunity to work with a dynamic team. Currently working as a Manufacturing Engineer, I use my knowledge gained to further exceed in my career and complete every day challenges.
— Kashan Khan, Manufacturing Engineer

 

 

Over my 20 year employment history, I can truly say that since my hiring in 2005, working as a Quality Engineer at EBA&D in the Graham, KY facility has been the most satisfying. A recent honor was bestowed on me to be a part of EBI’s 175 year Anniversary celebration in Simsbury, CT and represent our Graham, KY Reactive Armor Team for the highest honor EBI presents to its employees - the Excellence Awards. I was humbled to represent our team in front of, not only my fellow employees, but the President & CEO of our company, as well as our Board of Directors and Corporate Owners. It was very fulfilling to show all how dedicated and proud we are to be able to supply energetic solutions, not only for demolition, but for the ultimate cause of protecting “our troops.” It continues to be my privilege to work with such a “family” oriented, highly motivated group.
— Cathy Knees, Quality Engineer

 

After EBA&D’s acquisition of NEA Electronics, I was concerned with the transition from a small company to a larger company.  The transition has been quite transparent and I have been very happy becoming part of the EBA&D team.  EBA&D’s philosophy "By growing the individual, the company will naturally grow" shows me that EBA&D cares about employee success and there is opportunity for me to grow with the company.
— Edwin Vega, Engineering Manager, NEA Electronics/EBA&D
