Lead, Data & Control Systems Engineering Seen this week
About the Team
The Factory Test team designs, builds, and operates the infrastructure needed to test nearly every part of Terran R at our headquarters in Long Beach, CA. This centralized approach provides engineers and technicians with exposure to the entire product lifecycle across a wide range of part sizes and complexities. Test stands handle millions of pounds of force. Team members lead multiple projects in parallel, gaining broad technical experience without needing a background in aerospace.
