The retired Army major general worked at Raytheon as vice president of programs in that company’s integrated defense systems business prior to Oshkosh.

Urias held in operational, staff and materiel acquisition roles at the Army and has served as commander of the 2nd Battalion, 44th Air Defense Artillery, 101st Airborne Division.

He also assumed leadership roles at the Joint Contracting Command – Iraq/Afghanistan, Program Executive Office of Air, Space and Missile Defense and the Tank and Automotive Command.
