January 14, 2015 Mississauga, Ontario Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario)

Koss Aerospace will strengthen its aerospace production capabilities thanks to an investment of nearly $5 million announced today by FedDev Ontario Minister Gary Goodyear and Minister for Sport and Member of Parliament for Bramalea-Gore-Malton Bal Gosal.

Koss produces structural aerospace components such as wing ribs, floor and cross beams, bulk heads and seat tracks for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Boeing and Bombardier. The federal funding of up to $4,985,210 will be used to buy and install new equipment to help the company produce larger structural aerospace components for OEMs both in Canada and in international markets, such as the United States, Europe and Asia. In addition, the new equipment will reduce lead times and production costs, giving Koss Aerospace a competitive advantage in the aerospace supply chain sector. The investment will also benefit the company's supply chain in southern Ontario.

The Government of Canada's repayable contribution is through FedDev Ontario's Investing in Business Growth and Productivity initiative, which aims to help established businesses to expand their operations, invest in productivity improvements and compete globally.

"Our Government is proud to support companies such as Koss Aerospace, who help create highly skilled jobs and strengthen the Canadian aerospace manufacturing sector," said the Honourable Gary Goodyear. "Today's announcement will allow Koss Aerospace to increase its production capabilities and position the company as a stronger supplier in the global aerospace supply chain."

"Koss Aerospace is an important manufacturer in our community, in Canada and abroad. Our Government's investment will assist Koss Aerospace in purchasing new equipment in order to manufacture larger structural aerospace components, for both Canadian and international aerospace manufacturers, more efficiently and cost effectively."

"The geography of the supply chain is changing; it is essential that Ontario companies stay on the map. With the support of FedDev Ontario, the Government of Canada is ensuring Koss Aerospace remains competitive and Ontario continues to be a major player in the global aerospace market."

Career Spotlight: What I Do As An Aerospace Engineer

Posted on by

From the birth of aviation to the space age and beyond, the aerospace industry has transformed transportation, commerce and communication. Countless engineers have worked hard to literally give flight to the technologies that drive the modern world. But what does the job really entail? What is the average day for an aerospace engineer? We spoke with a veteran of the industry to learn what their work is really like.

Elizabeth Bierman is a senior project engineer at Honeywell Aerospace where she specialises in avionics and is the president of the Society of Women Engineers. She works with a wide variety of bright minds to create the technologies that guide aircraft to their destinations, is a mother of two, and also speaks on behalf of the Society of Women Engineers to promote diversity in the workplace. We asked Elizabeth how she ended up on her current career path, what her day typically entails, and more.

I got an astronaut lunch box in the 4th grade (this was fall 1985), and a few months later the Challenger space shuttle tragedy occurred. Instead of being discouraged, it sparked my interest to learn about those astronauts. I found out that three of them were aerospace engineers so I decided that is what I wanted to be too. I ended up going to Iowa State University and majoring in Aerospace Engineering! My first year was difficult. Engineering classes were a lot harder than high school and what I expected. I joined the Society of Women Engineers and this gave me a community of support to get through the challenges. Once I got into my core Aerospace Engineering classes things got better, or I just enjoyed the classes more. After my sophomore year of college, I got a co-op position with Rockwell Collins and this really solidified my love for aerospace and engineering. It was fascinating to start working on aeroplanes.

I do not have any licences as an engineer. I am a certified Program Management Professional (PMP).

I actually spend the majority of my time thinking of ways to do things better. Whether its a navigation system going on an aeroplane or how to make a project come in on budget and on time, I work to continuously improve how we work. As a customer support engineer, I have been able to travel to the job site (airport hangars) and help our customers install the navigation system into the aircraft. I also have travelled around the world to work with our airline customers to talk with them about how they can use our products better.

That I sit behind a computer all day and dont talk to people. That engineers are introverts and just want to be left alone. Young girls and boys are told in school that you have to be smart at maths and science to be an engineer. I disagree. If you like maths, science and engineering and are willing to work hard then you can get through it.

I have a lot of flexibility (I have two young daughters at home). I usually work from home on Monday and Friday and then go into the office from 7:30-3:30 on the other days. I do check email every night after the girls are in bed. Some weeks are 40 hours and others may be a little more. That is where the flexibility is nice. Sometimes I am on a call with India at 8PM at night or with Europe at 6AM, but then I am able to take some downtime in the middle of the day.

Be available when you can. Its easy for me to answer an email at 8PM at night so I can focus on the harder items first thing the next morning.

Great question, I am focused on avionics the instruments in the cockpit that help the planes navigate and manage the flight. What sets me apart from my peers is that Im always looking for new technology we can leverage and communications trends we can take part in, such as lowering the cost and weight of the navigation system used on the new Boeing 787, while added additional functionality of faster align time (using GPS). Other aerospace engineers might work on engines or space systems. But all of us are working to solve problems.

Engineers always have great ideas to make things better, but if a customer isnt willing to pay for it or see the value, then we cant do it.

Get an aerospace or manufacturing job at upcoming Cin-Day job fair

Posted on by

The Cincinnati-Dayton corridor has nationally recognized aerospace and manufacturing industries, and your chance to meet face-to-face with these hiring companies is coming later this month.

Job seekers looking to land a position in the related sectors will want to attend a job fair scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 29 at Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road. Parking is free.

Efforts are to recruit more than 60 employers with operations in the Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, Montgomery and Warren county areas for the region-wide event, said Adam Jones, administrator of the Workforce Investment Board of Butler, Clermont and Warren Counties, a government agency that sets workforce development policy.

For people that view manufacturing maybe kind of as the old dungy type of kind of environment, its not that at all, Jones said. Its very clean.

The Workforce Investment Board is the event sponsor in partnership with fellow organizers including local county OhioMeansJobs centers, Hamilton Countys Southwest Ohio Region Workforce Investment Board, TechSolve, Warren County Port Authority, and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Browns office.

This summit brings together public-private partnerships to help connect manufacturers hiring workers, with workers who are seeking manufacturing jobs or training, Brown said in a provided statement. Working together, we help ensure long term success throughout the region.

Based on the companies that have agreed to participate so far such as Lebanons Tomak Precision, West Chester Twp.s AK Steel Holding Corp., Hamilton Countys GKN Aerospace and others openings include CNC machinists, production associates, maintenance technicians and process engineers, according to information compiled by OhioMeansJobs-Butler County.

Of the jobs already listed, starting pay ranges from $11 to $27.50 an hour.

The Southwestern Ohio Aerospace Region was one of 12 regions nationwide to receive a federal designation last year from the government program Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership.

A total $1.3 billion in federal money is available to spend on economic development across the nation, and the new designation puts the Cincinnati-Dayton region at the front of the line to receive a slice.
