In this episode, we speak with Dominic Perez, CTO at Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Dominic explains how the company delivers rugged, swap-optimised systems for mission-critical communications across land, sea, air and space platforms.
He shares his journey from QA engineer to CTO, the value of learning adjacent disciplines and the mentors who shaped his approach to engineering, leadership and strategy. Dominic discusses the evolution of tactical networks, edge processing, secure communications and the shift toward software-defined defence systems. He also highlights the impact of LEO satellites, AI at the edge and the growing cyber threat that extends far beyond the battlefield.
Dominic reflects on scaling PacStar through a 400 million acquisition, building multidisciplinary teams and the importance of diversity, mentoring and developing the next generation of engineers. This episode offers direct insight into defence technology, leadership and emerging challenges across modern military communications.
