Employment Opportunities at Retro Aerospace

Last updated December 2008
Retro Aerospace is not currently hiring. However, we will consider resumes for future opportunities that may come up.
We are a hands-on company. We are going to be producing designs, hardware, and test results. Not viewgraphs. Well, viewgraphs to document hardware, but hardware first and foremost. On an accellerated schedule. Candidates will be hands-on designing, building, testing, debugging, and characterizing hardware in their areas of responsibility. Multiple skills are a strong plus.

  • If you do not really understand the phrase the better is the enemy of the good enough, then don't apply.
  • If you want to be among the highest paid engineers immediately or don't like long hours, don't apply.
  • If you don't like getting your hands dirty on the hardware, don't apply.
  • If you need a manager to tell you to do the right thing, don't apply.
  • If you think it takes six months to design and test something, don't apply.
  • If you don't like autonomy and personal responsibility, don't apply.
  • If loud noises, high pressures, or large exhaust flames scare you, don't apply.

If you still think you want the job, tell us what you can bring to Retro Aerospace.

If you're not sure that you're qualified, or aren't sure you have enough experience, or aren't sure about our job descriptions...

  • We're building space launch vehicle rockets.
  • We're going to try to build and fly test vehicles faster than just about anyone has before. Because it's easier to validate in flight than with dozens of man years worth of analysis.
  • Do you want to build big rockets?
Tell us what you can bring to the team. Sell us on what you can contribute. We want results, not spiffy resume points.

If you are interested, contact us at:

We strongly encourage you to submit ASCII (plain text) resumes.
