• Payload Systems Engineering
• Spacecraft Systems Engineering
• Electrical & Software Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering

Core Engineering Members will have the opportunity to rotate through various Engineering positions, providing them with the chance to take on and master a specific role before rotating to another role, and allowing them to apply their progressively evolving skill set on new engineering disciplines. The goal of this rotation program is to provide individuals with experience in design, production, manufacturing, and test, so that they can gain a sense of each position prior to settling on a specific area for further specialization.
