Meet Maddie! She works mostly remote on our finance team but her home office is our St. Petersburg campus! We are hiring finance roles: https://lnkd.in/e_fHah7X Her best advice is to soak in our culture! "Draper is certainly not traditional when compared to other Space and Defense contractors. There is a level of autonomy to be yourself and voice your thoughts… Get comfortable with asking questions in rooms full of people that you can learn from." #finance #hiring #financecareers

The Blue Origin National Team hosted a familiarization session for the HLS Crewed Lander Piloted Simulations at Draper's Cambridge, Mass. campus with NASA Crew and Flight Operations Offices. These types of events are critical to getting user feedback early in the development phase to ensure Artemis V mission success. Draper is proud to partner with Blue Origin on HLS in support of NASA's goals by providing safe and sustainable crew transportation to/from the lunar surface. #lunarlanding #space #spacetravel #spaceexploration #aerospace NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Blue Origin

Draper recently announced the addition of a second Florida campus in St. Petersburg known as our Advanced Packaging Facility. Jeremy is one of our talented engineers at that campus. Q. We asked what he found most unexpected about Draper? A. "I knew that Draper employed a progressive, positive work environment and I could not wait to get back to work at the St. Petersburg campus. Having spent 11 years now in the defense industry, Draper is the first company I’ve worked for that uses proper engineering techniques, quality controls and on-hands program management in order to deliver the best possible part to our customers. It’s very refreshing." Roles we are hiring out of Florida: https://lnkd.in/e3dspVVc #hiring #rapidprototyping #AdvancedPackagingFacility
