Fuse, a warfighter-focused engineering and design firm, today announced that it has earned a 2024 VETS Indexes 3 Star Employer Award. The acclaimed award recognizes the company’s commitment to recruiting, hiring, retaining, developing, and supporting veterans in the military-connected community.

“At Fuse, our company ethos is centered around providing critical capabilities to the warfighter and we value the level at which former and active military members contribute to what we do every day to advance warfighter advantage in the battlespace,” said Sumner Lee, CEO of Fuse. “Our team is truly our most valuable asset — and the veteran employees who make up more than 30 percent of our workforce are essential contributors to our success.”

Honoring military service and veteran status are ingrained in the company culture and office space. Flags for each branch of the military hang in the office and the lobby features a growing collection of military patches from defense personnel guests and employees.

Fuse has earned a reputation for valuing military skills in the workforce and has a special web page outlining what military personnel may expect when joining Fuse as their second career.

“Competition for the VETS Indexes Employer Awards was tougher than ever in 2024, as a record number of organizations participated.

Flying Toward Excellence: An Inside Look at the Fuse Flight Test Squadron

“We’re not building software in a vacuum. We are, no kidding, strapping it to an airplane and testing it.”

This remark from a Fuse team member accurately sums up the benefits of the Fuse Flight Test Squadron, established in 2019. It’s also the opening of a California Business Journal feature on the Squadron.

“Building on years of naval aviation experience, Fuse established the squadron to accelerate the development of its warfighter-focused communication and networking products by adding vigor and in-house demonstration. The squadron appeals to partners, customers, and team members of Fuse alike, adding a certain ‘cool’ factor while contributing to their noble cause,” continues the feature from reporter Leslie Irving.

Touching on the storied history of the Fuse Cessna O-2A Skymaster aircraft used in the test flights, the article describes how the Fuse Flight Test Squadron accelerates the system design of its warfighter-focused communication and networking products. “Having an aircraft that can fly with test equipment and pod-based integrated systems allows Fuse to demonstrate the feasibility of airborne connections and systems while still in development.”

Fuse CEO, Sumner Lee, is quoted, “The best moments are when we finish a test or demonstration knowing we have met our carefully planned objectives and have advanced a system further in fidelity and readiness for our military customers,” says Lee. “It’s incredibly rewarding.”

Pet-Friendly Workplaces Are On The Rise. Here’s Why Fuse Said Yes To Pets

“When it came time to decide whether pets belonged at work, it’s possible that the company was influenced by its military ties. CEO Sumner Lee started his career as a naval aviator and more than 40% of the company’s 90-plus team members have a military background. The U.S. Department of Defense has long supported active service military pet owners, recognizing the value that pets bring to military personnel and their families. To provide a sense of scope, a recent DOD press release announcing reimbursable pet expenses due to permanent change of station estimated that the new allowance could be used by 227,000 service members!

Regardless of military background, company leaders decided early in the company’s journey that pets would be welcome at Fuse facilities. They understood the many benefits to team members from a work-life balance perspective — and to the company itself.”

So, reports Karen Janowitz in a recent California Business Journal article featuring Fuse and the company’s pet-friendly workplace.  

Describing the benefits of having pets at work and tips for making it work, the article includes two photos of Fuse team members’ dogs at the company’s unique workspace.

Fuse Fuels Creativity and Innovation

“Where you work matters. For Fuse Integration, a warfighter-focused engineering and design firm, location was the first consideration when moving its headquarters from downtown San Diego to nearby Kearny Mesa, California four years ago. The new locale is a defense contractor hub, rich with veteran and engineering talent — and a great place to bike to work.

Next, and equally important, Fuse needed to build out the interior space to fit their needs. With a mix of practical and aesthetic requirements, the team set out to create something special for their growing team. Now, leaders and employees agree: Fuse’s headquarters fuels creativity and innovation.”

That’s the opening of a new California Business Journal article by reporter Claire Cattone, “Fuse Fuels Creativity and Innovation.”

Outlining five driving forces that helped the company shape the space, the article touches on Fuse’s distinctive culture, warfighter workshops, space for prototyping and testing, and company events.
