Why This Role Exists

This role exists to support ZYCI’s continued growth in complex, mission-critical aerospace and defense programs.

As a precision machining partner trusted with high-risk, high-value work, ZYCI requires disciplined, accurate, and strategically aligned quoting to ensure programs are both competitive and profitable. The Quoting & Estimating Manager plays a central role in evaluating opportunity, risk, and long-term fit—helping guide which work ZYCI pursues and how it is priced.

This is not a transactional quoting role. It is a leadership position that directly impacts execution, customer relationships, and sustained manufacturing success.
