OSHKOSH, Wis. (Oct. 24, 2024) – Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), a leading innovator of purpose-built vehicles and equipment, today launched its Technical Fellow Program, a new initiative designed to recognize and empower the company’s top technical engineering talent. The program is a key element of Oshkosh’s innovation strategy, enabling technical leaders to drive advancements in core focus areas, including electrification, autonomy and active safety, intelligent products, digital manufacturing and advanced analytics.
The company’s inaugural cohort of fellows includes:
- Louis Bafile, for his contributions to Access vehicle systems.
- Steve Nestel, for his advancements in systems engineering.
- Tim Snyder, for his expertise in Defense vehicle systems.
- Dave Steinberger, for his leadership in electrification systems.
“As we navigate a rapidly evolving technological landscape, it's crucial that we foster an environment where our technical leaders can innovate and explore new frontiers,” said Jay Iyengar, executive vice president and chief technology and strategic sourcing officer, Oshkosh Corporation. “The Technical Fellow Program not only highlights the exceptional contributions of our top engineers, but also reinforces our commitment to providing the tools and opportunities for innovation across the organization, to deliver solutions that will move the industries we serve forward.”
Oshkosh Corporation’s technical fellows will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the company’s technology development to enhance safety, improve sustainability and deliver smarter, more efficient solutions for customers.
