Space + Aerospace
DAM is a technical and executive search firm working with launch, satellite, defense aviation and advanced aerospace companies. We recruit the engineers and leaders who are already building flight hardware somewhere else.
The Problem
Aerospace hiring is constrained by a small population of engineers with real flight-hardware experience, program timelines that cannot slip, and requirements that are difficult to screen without technical understanding.
Traditional recruiting methods are insufficient here. The engineer who has already qualified an avionics box, closed a GNC loop or taken a propulsion system through hot fire is employed, working on a program they care about, and not reading job boards.
Disciplines
Approach
01
Learn the vehicle, the subsystem, the team and the business problem behind the hire.
02
Research the aerospace talent market and identify where the strongest engineers are working today.
03
Approach high-value candidates directly with a credible technical story.
04
Present carefully selected candidates capable of solving the actual engineering problem.
How We Partner
High-touch search for critical leadership positions — VP Engineering, Chief Engineer, Head of Propulsion, Head of Manufacturing.
Dedicated search resources for priority and difficult-to-fill aerospace roles where the candidate pool is small and highly specialized.
Flexible search support for specialized individual hires across avionics, flight software and systems engineering.
Experience
More than two decades recruiting highly specialized talent in competitive technology markets, built around finding people who are difficult to identify, reach and recruit.
DAM has twice been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Recruiting Firms, and operates from Southern California — Los Angeles, the South Bay, El Segundo and Orange County — while recruiting nationally.
The people you want are already working somewhere else.
