Jonathan Grant will take on the role of Chief Engineer for Ontic, as the aerospace parts manufacturer continues to invest in its engineering capabilities and technical expertise.
In the global role, Grant will serve as the technical authority for Ontic’s products, overseeing technical governance, standards, methodologies and processes. His responsibilities will include reliability engineering, obsolescence management and aviation safety, supporting airlines, operators and aircraft manufacturers in maintaining fleet airworthiness.
He will also oversee technical support throughout the product lifecycle, from the transition of products to Ontic and production optimisation to continuous improvements and long-term support. As the company expands its portfolio of flight-critical products, Grant will strengthen its capabilities in regulatory compliance and aviation safety.

He joins Ontic from Seattle-based AeroTEC, where he served as head of engineering, leading a team of more than 100 specialists across flight sciences, avionics, electrical systems, testing and certification.
Previously, he was Director of Programme Management and Systems Engineering and Integration at Radia in Boulder, Colorado, where he recruited more than 25 tier-one suppliers for a new mission aircraft.
Grant also spent 15 years at Boeing, leading avionics development and certification across the manufacturer’s commercial aircraft programmes, as well as systems integration for the 737 MAX programme.
