Vice succeeds Dave Zolet, who has led Astrion since its formation in 2023.
The appointments come as Astrion seeks to grow its space-related business lines, including systems engineering and integration work tied to U.S. military and civil space programs. The hires reflect a push to expand both domestically and in international markets.
Astrion was created through the merger of engineering firms ERC and Oasis Systems in 2023 and later absorbed Axient, a space-focused contractor, in 2024. The combined company, with about $1 billion in sales, provides technical services across defense, intelligence and civil agencies, including spacecraft development support, modeling and mission assurance.
