Embraer's Melbourne, Fla. engineering and technical center has rapidly staffed up and next year is projected to employ 200 between its interior and material engineering divisions, up from the current 160. “Our intention is to become the interior center of excellence,” said Jeff Chaney, the center's mechanical engineering manager. “We've acquired a lot of younger people right out of college. We don't need rocket science here, we need creative people. It's worked out very well.”
