The TRS Operations team is a small but mighty team of business generalists who ‘solve for scale’ the specific business problems that hamper efficiency or productivity. One project may have you solving staffing inefficiencies across engineering teams, while another project may have you working across manufacturing, supply chain, and quality teams to help address capacity or production challenges. We are looking for the Head of Operations to support our Ghost and Precision Engagement Systems business lines, based in Costa Mesa, CA.
