About The Position

Dayton-Granger, Inc. (DG) is a third-generation, family-owned aerospace manufacturer that has specialized in antennas, lightning protection systems, and electrostatic components for commercial and military aircraft worldwide for over 82 years. What makes DG unique is that engineering, testing, and manufacturing all occur under one roof—allowing for close collaboration, deep technical expertise, and fast response to customer needs. The Marketing Engineer plays a critical, customer-facing role in driving new business opportunities and expanding adoption of DG’s aerospace and aviation product portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, business development, and marketing—requiring strong technical credibility, excellent communication skills, and the ability to build long-term customer relationships.
