About the role

You've watched decisions get made by committee.
You've seen great ideas die in review cycles.
Somewhere in Southern California, a small group of engineers is doing something that hasn't been done before.

You have owned the full arc from blank sheet to production hardware and have the intuition that only comes from doing it on real programs under real pressure.
You have solved problems that didn't have a textbook answer.
You have probably done it on a small team where there was no one to hand it off to.
You have designed composite airframe structures that flew.
You think in laminates, load paths, and joints.
