Who We Are

Aurex is a mission-focused aerospace and defense company building the next frontier of deterrence. From hypersonics and missile defense to hardened networks and orbital systems, we design, test, and deliver the platforms that turn unproven ideas into battlefield-ready capability.

Reporting directly to executive leadership, you will lead and mentor a lean IT team, manage daily operations, and translate business priorities into secure, reliable technology solutions. You will work closely with executives on strategic IT priorities, with responsibility for implementing those priorities across infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, and workforce support.

  • Implement access controls and configuration baselines to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) across the IT environment.
  • Translate security requirements and corporate policies into practical technical procedures for employees.

Project and Vendor Management

  • Define project scope, establish milestones, and deliver IT initiatives on schedule to support business operations.
  • Manage team capacity and project scope while maintaining responsive IT support.
  • Manage IT vendor relationships, licensing agreements, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Executive Partnership

  • Implement strategic IT priorities established in collaboration with executive leadership.
  • Communicate technical challenges, project status, resource needs, and recommended actions clearly to executives.
  • Align IT operations with business objectives, applicable defense data protection requirements, and corporate policies.

Required Qualifications

  • Advanced proficiency in SharePoint administration, Microsoft 365 environments, Active Directory, and secure network infrastructure.
  • Experience managing hybrid cloud and on-premises architectures.
  • Experience with network security, threat mitigation, disaster recovery, and system backup planning.
  • Demonstrated experience managing IT operations governed by DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC requirements.
  • Working knowledge of information security principles in defense supply chain environments.
  • Proven ability to manage technical personnel, project timelines, and operational deliverables.
  • Ability to translate complex technical issues into clear, actionable updates for executive leadership.
  • Ability to work 100% on-site in Huntsville, AL.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
