SAE and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At SAE International (SAE) and affiliate organizations, we’re committed to a culturally diverse and inclusive workplace. We want every employee to feel they can bring their genuine self to work. We believe that by strengthening the diversity of our team, we foster a culture that exemplifies collaboration, and ignites innovation to achieve excellence in pursuit of our mission.
