Today’s guest is Brian Zamore, an Associate Manager of the engineering team at L3 Harris Technologies, a Defense Contractor.  Brian joins us to speak about his journey in engineering, the processes and challenges at L3, and the lessons he has learned about being a good leader. We hear about how Brian cut his teeth in the industry, going from earning an electrical engineering degree to building servers, working on chipsets, manufacturing in aerospace, and much more before ending up as a test engineer and then working his way up at L3. You'll learn about the range of subject matter experts at L3 who come up with quick and unique solutions to the problems that the firm is tasked with solving. When it comes to challenges, Brian speaks to the issues we are facing with supply chains as well as a general lack of test engineers due to the field being so niched. From there, we get into the nuts and bolts of Brian’s typical day, the processes he has in place to maintain efficiency and productivity, equipment and safety protocols at L3, and more. Finally, we talk to our guest about leadership, where he emphasizes the importance of empathy and shares the resources he is using to become a better manager every day.
