What People Are Saying About Ursa Major

  • Challenging Assignments: Hands-on propulsion work across hypersonics, solid rocket motors, and space mobility with real flight/test cycles (e.g., Hadley hypersonic runs) offers steep learning. Fresh funding, new facilities, and expanding programs create conditions to take on increasingly complex work and responsibility.
  • Mentorship & Sponsorship: Feedback suggests employees learn from colleagues and leaders who share expertise across departments, and role descriptions explicitly call for mentoring earlier‑career teammates. Formal elements like a mentorship program and customized development tracks reinforce on‑the‑job growth.
  • Cross-Functional Experience: Work spans liquid engines (Hadley, Draper) and solid motors alongside additive manufacturing partnerships, enabling exposure from design and testing to avionics and advanced manufacturing. A collaborative environment with cross‑team cooperation broadens day‑to‑day learning opportunities.
