Company Profile
Company Overview
The concept of a "Bastion" is derived from a fortified stronghold designed to withstand great forces. In a similar way, Bastion provides its customers solutions to structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering challenges to further our nation's success as a leader in research and technology.
Although we are a small 8(a) minority-owned company, our projects range from supporting engineering, operations, manufacturing, and fabrication of major International Space Station segments to creating designs for small robotic components. Our small company atmosphere adds to our ability to provide cost-effective solutions based on our lean management structure, sound corporate infrastructure, and steady financial growth.
Company History
Leading Bastion is our founder and President, Jorge Hernandez. Building on a family legacy that started during the Apollo program, Jorge naturally embraced science and engineering at an early age. After graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering, he was honored with the distinguished National Science Foundation Scholarship to attend Stanford University. At Stanford he received his Masters of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Returning to the aerospace industry, Jorge recognized the opportunity to provide both government and industry customers quality and cost-effective engineering, design, and analysis products.
After only 8 years, Bastion has grown from 3 employees to more than 300 employees nationwide because of our steadfast vision and dedication to customer satisfaction. Our company has also been recognized for superior performance and growth such as the NASA Minority Subcontractor of the Year, The Boeing Company Exceptional Performance Award, and one of the Fastest Growing Small Business in the Houston Area.
