Scott Poole has been leading a Power Engineering team at AirBorn since 2004, headquartered in Lake City, Pennsylvania. His expertise spans from Global Power Electronic Development for High Power Welding R&D in Industrial and Automotive markets prior to his tenure at AirBorn. Under Scott's leadership, the team at AirBorn has expanded beyond its established presence in Military and Defense markets, venturing into the Power Conversion market.

AirBorn, renowned for tackling challenging projects requiring intricate electrical, mechanical, and software development, has historically relied on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) 'bricks.' However, frustrations and limitations with integration and performance from various manufacturers prompted a strategic shift. Leveraging these challenges to their advantage, AirBorn launched a new product line named 'Power Blade' to address these deficiencies head-on.
