At Intervala we believe service doesn’t end when a uniform comes off. It evolves.
Our people make the difference every day, bringing precision, accountability, and pride to the work we do. Those qualities are deeply familiar to veterans, which is why they continue to play such an important role at Intervala.
One of those veterans is Landon Stobart, Senior Process Engineer and proud U.S. Air Force veteran.
Landon joined Intervala in May 2025, relocating from Phoenix, Arizona, to step into a leadership role overseeing our through-hole and post-SMT areas. Though his time here has been short, his impact has been immediate; felt across the production floor in how teams solve problems, collaborate, and take ownership of their work.
Before becoming an engineer, Landon served three years in the United States Air Force as a defensive avionics technician, working on stealth aircraft systems. His decision to enlist followed a long family legacy of service.
“My family has served in every conflict going back to the American Revolution,” Landon shared. “When I joined, we were deep in the Iraqi war, and I wanted to do my part to serve my country at a time of need.”
That service shaped how he approaches everything that followed.
“The Air Force has three core values: integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all you do,” he said. “Those values became the foundation for how I approach life and work. They gave me the confidence to tackle just about any problem.”
Those principles show up daily at Intervala. Accountability. Pride in workmanship. The willingness to think creatively when there’s no perfect answer.
“In the military, accountability is huge,” Landon said. “You own what you do and the results that come from it. That mindset carries over directly. You learn how to think outside the box and to be resourceful. Engineering is no different.”
After leaving the military, Landon discovered his passion for manufacturing while working as an electronics technician. That curiosity led him to pursue an electrical engineering degree and eventually brought him to Intervala.
“Intervala reached out about this role, and I saw it as an opportunity to grow my career and help build something great,” he said.
For Landon, the most rewarding part of engineering isn’t just solving problems, it’s helping others succeed.
“I live for those ‘aha’ moments,” he said. “And I love sharing knowledge, helping people on the floor get better at what they do.”
That mindset reflects something we see repeatedly among veterans at Intervala; leadership rooted in service and for Landon, it’s deeply personal.
“It’s a time to honor those who served, those who gave their lives and those who gave a piece of themselves for the greater good,” he said. “We’re 100% volunteers. You give a piece of yourself when you serve, but you also carry forward the best parts which include the pride, the discipline, the purpose.”
That purpose continues for Landon at Intervala.
“Being an engineer is really about service,” he said. “We’re here to make everyone’s job easier, to solve problems, and to make things better. It’s service over self, just like the Air Force.”
This February, we’ll be hosting Open Interview Days for individuals interested in joining our team. For veterans like Landon, who are considering their next chapter, Intervala offers an environment where military experience is respected, leadership is valued, and service continues in meaningful ways.
Because here, the mission doesn’t end. It just changes. At Intervala, we welcome everyone to be part of a company that is Built on Quality, Driven by Agility and Defined by Trust. At Intervala, we’re proud to employ veterans like Landon and we’re committed to welcoming more.
