Ron “Skip” Bradford has agreed to join the CIRCOR Aerospace – Aerodyne team as the Product Manager for the recently acquired SEI inflation systems business. Skip is a native of Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota. He has extensive industry experience including machining, design and manufacture of complex fluidic controls. He has specific expertise in mills and lathe operation, CNC machining, metallurgy and heat treatment processes. He is a retired U.S. Army pilot with 24 years of total service; with most of that service with a Special Operations unit with the “Night Stalkers” of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.. He has logged over 2800 fight hours as a Pilot, Maintenance Test Pilot and Examiner, and held positions as Component Repair Officer, Quality Control Officer, Executive Officer and as a MH-60K (Glass Cockpit Blackhawk) Test and Evaluation Project Officer. Shortly after his military career, in May of 1999, Skip was hired by Survival Engineering Inc. as the Production Manager. He quickly advanced to the position of Operations Director. While at Survival Engineering, Skip re-organized the production department implementing lean manufacturing principals, updated the quality control system, and designed and put into production a new product line. His management and guidance have reduced production costs and increased margins, and given Survival Engineering Inc, a name of quality and service in the inflatables industry. Ron is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
with a Bachelor of Science degree. Please join me in welcoming Skip
to the CIRCOR Aerospace team and help support him as we transition
manufacturing to the Ronkonkoma, New York facility. C.R. Celtruda Mike
