Consumer, automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical, and industrial equipment backgrounds all fit. Defense and space knowledge is great, we don’t expect it. . . . . An active security clearance is a bonus, not a requirement. . . . . We work in Adobe Creative Suite, Blender or Cinema 4D for visualization, and alongside engineering CAD — comfort with these is a plus, mastery of your own toolset matters more. . . . WHAT WE EXPECT. . . . Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently, we’re a lean team, everyone needs to pitch in and move fast. . . . . Take ownership of design problems and see them through, space is hard. . . . . Turn your hand to what’s needed. . . .
