Senior IT Manager

Braun was founded with a clear purpose : to support those who serve on the frontlines of emergency response. What began as a pattern shop under the vision of Charles J. Braun has grown into a trusted name in ambulance manufacturing—driven by innovation and a deep understanding of the EMS community.

Early on, we recognized a critical need : ambulances built not just to transport, but to perform under pressure. When lives hang in the balance, equipment must be reliable. That insight shaped our mission and helped set a new standard in the industry.
