What we look for
Mission-Driven Problem Solvers. The aerospace frontier demands ingenuity. We want engineers who approach challenges with curiosity, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and stay focused on delivering the best solution for the mission.

Description
As an Executive Assistant, you will provide focused, high-impact administrative support with an emphasis on travel support & coordination, executive scheduling, HQ visitor facilitation, and internal meeting and event support. This role requires a calm, self-directed professional who is comfortable operating independently with minimal day-to-day oversight and who exercises sound judgment, discretion, and flexibility. The position supports a highly variable workload: there will be periods of high activity, including travel sprints that may require extended or off-hours availability, balanced by less intensive weeks with limited demands. Success in this role comes from being adaptable, composed, and reliable; able to step in decisively when needed while remaining comfortable with autonomy and less direction when the pace is light. This role is best suited for someone who values stability, consistency, and execution excellence, and who is motivated by enabling others to perform at their best rather than high touch and constant engagement.
