About Jade Long

I help aerospace, defense, and emerging technology companies solve complex RF, system test, and integration challenges. My career has focused on enabling teams to bring mission-critical systems from prototype to deployment, spanning autonomous platforms, advanced sensing, and electronic warfare.I\'ve worked with Tier 1 defense primes, venture-backed startups, and research-driven innovators across the U.S. and Canada. Whether it’s supporting legacy programs or cutting-edge autonomy, I partner across engineering domains to accelerate validation, reduce risk, and help teams meet aggressive technical goals.Outside of work, I’m passionate about technology ethics, transparency in defense and surveillance sectors, and supporting underrepresented voices in tech. I believe we build better systems and a better world when we ask harder questions about how our tools are used.
