Yes, we're late to the party… and late posting about the party. But hey, fashionably late is still a vibe, right? Here's proof we work hard and play harder (and that we can occasionally step away from our desks/jobsites). 🍹🎉
A couple weeks ago we celebrated 2024 with our annual New Year party at Topgolf. Rookie of the years were awarded (congrats Reynaldo and Kyle) and the Team Member of the Year G.O.A.T. was awarded to Karina Gutierrez. We also celebrated the newest recipients of the Athena Engineering Titan Jacket - Matt Brock, Matt Page, and Luis Ochoa. These jackets are awarded to team members once they reach their 10-year anniversary!
Our golf games were questionable, but we certainly know how to have a good time!

When disaster strikes, this SoCal community pulls together and that was on display today. We pulled our resources together at and shopped our little hearts out for the people and animals affected by this fire. Thank you to for putting together the most INCREDIBLE food distribution and care package operation. This is what makes - we take care of our own. They’re still collecting and need volunteers for cooking, caravanning and donation collection.

Family - The Backbone of Our Business
Athena Engineering, Inc. was founded in 1984 by Richard & Jannie Chiera as a mechanical construction company . Jannie was pregnant with Athena at the time, making Athena the unofficial third employee from the company’s founding. We were initially based in Covina, CA – specifically in Jannie & Richard’s garage. Lots of good things start in garages. Anywho, Jannie had received a $5,000 tax refund and said “Lets do this!” and Athena Engineering was born (not Athena yet, just the company).
We were initially incorporated as CCE Systems, but our name was changed to Athena Engineering in 1986. To this day, we do not remember what the acronym “CCE” stood for, so it is probably best we changed our name to Athena Engineering.
Athena graduated college in 2006 and immediately joined her family in managing the business. Today, all three members of the Chiera clan run the business together, in partnership with some pretty awesome employees. Check out some more Vital Statistics and learn about our Community Commitment!
