Meet Harry Huddleston, our Secure Communications Technical Program Manager located in Arlington, Va. He has worked at Airbus U.S. Space & Defense for over ten years immediately after retiring from the U.S. Army in 2014.

Harry was initially drawn to the technology field in high school while taking a class in electronics.

“I found a passion in designing, building, and repairing electronic devices and circuits,” he said. “Occasionally, I would break things on purpose just to put my skills to the test to fix it.”

After high school, Harry joined the U.S. Army as a COMSEC/Ground Radio Repair Technician. Throughout his 20-year career in the Army, he worked at a variety of locations across the globe, including the White House Communications Agency and NATO.

In his role at Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, Harry provides all sales, technical services, customer support and training to the U.S. Government and Department of Defense as the U.S. SME for the Ectocryp Black Secure Voice Encryption Gateway.

“At Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, we are satellites, UAVs, communications, and more,” he said. “We play a crucial part in defending and securing our Nation.”

Outside of work, Harry enjoys being outdoors, boating and fishing, and driving cars.
