About The Position
The defense industrial base is at a historic inflection point, with manufacturing capacity at the center of conversation. Jiga is building that layer by routing demand using AI to the right US manufacturers, operating as a supplier of record with full traceability, and turning into a production arm for custom mechanical parts.
