Software Engineer II Review

EngineeringFull-timeHybrid
Aug 12, 2025

What I liked

Great technical challenges, supportive engineering leads, and real ownership of flight software. Benefits and health coverage are solid. I enjoy working on hardware-software integration and seeing code make it to launch.

Areas for improvement

Communication between teams can be fragmented after reorganizations. Hiring and procurement can be slow, which delays some projects.

What I liked

Mission-driven environment and smart colleagues. There's a lot of cross-discipline collaboration and travel to launch sites when needed. Leadership cares about safety and the program goals.

Areas for improvement

Before big milestones hours can get long. There is some internal politics and decision-making can be slow when multiple stakeholders are involved.

Propulsion Technician Review

Manufacturing / OperationsFull-timeOn-site
Apr 5, 2025

What I liked

Hands-on work with rocket engines and strict safety practices. Being part of launch operations and seeing hardware perform is very rewarding.

Areas for improvement

Shift schedules and long hours around tests were exhausting. Technician career progression felt limited and pay didn't always match the workload or cost of living in remote locations.
