Summary
Chris Scott is a Manufacturing Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience leading aerospace production and process improvements, currently driving manufacturing engineering at Safran Electronics & Defense in Bothell, WA. He combines hands-on engineering expertise with systems-thinking—having designed custom ERP and digital traceability solutions that cut multi-day processes to under an hour and turned a months-long backlog into same-day release. Comfortable across shop floor planning, BOM management, and continuous improvement, he has a track record of improving delivery performance from chronic lateness to running months ahead of schedule. Chris’s background spans aerospace engineering, IT service management, and shop leadership, giving him a rare ability to bridge tooling, software, and operations. He is pragmatic about data-driven workflows and often serves as the owner’s “go-to” for cross-functional technical and operational challenges. Based in the Seattle area, he pairs formal engineering training with practical, parcelled wins that scale across teams and departments.
