Reaching out again as our shop has grown (also thanks to the Practical Machinist community). I'm a manufacturing engineer with Ursa Major who manufactures 3D printed rocket engines:
I work closely with the folks in the shop and it is a unique place. There are some clips of it in the videos above, but they don't do it justice. We do a lot with our four (technically 5 with millturn) spindles, and have one (technically two) more on the way:
Right now we are looking for more world-class folks. Each header is a link to the listing for these positions on our website. Please apply and/or reach out to me if you are interested, or if you know anyone who would be interested. The front range is a beautiful place to live, and even more exciting for hosting so much rocket engine testing.
