Sorry to hear about that David.
I run a CADD Dept. All Electro-Mechanical /Aerospace.
I have actually designed numerous Circuit Card Assemblies / PWBs, as well as enclosures and racks. We are sort of kindred spirits.
There was a Huge run up, and then a little bit of a lull in the Defense Contracts arena, due to the war. Things seem to be picking up with funding becoming available (contract awards). I know I've been a little swamped. This means that contractors will start looking to fill voids left from the slow period. You might look at some of the defense related companies such as Titan, Boeing, Grumman, Lockheed Martin, L3's many segments, etc.
Hoping you navigate through this well, and that you find something fulfilling. :thumbs:
