About

Engineering solutions grounded in hands-on experience

I'm Joshua Hedge, and HedgeKnight LLC is my platform for providing electrical engineering and automation expertise. With over 12 years of hands-on experience—including 10 years of U.S. Navy aviation maintenance—I bring practical knowledge from military, aerospace, and industrial environments to complex technical challenges.

My background spans training technicians on USPS postal control systems, designing aircraft electrical systems for custom Airbus interiors, programming industrial PLCs and robotics, and maintaining nuclear-deterrence aircraft avionics. This combination of military discipline, aerospace precision, and industrial automation delivers reliable, maintainable solutions.

Based in Mooresville, Indiana, I work with clients in postal automation, aerospace manufacturing, and industrial facilities. My approach prioritizes safety, technical accuracy, and measurable results over buzzwords.
