I’m a data analyst/software engineer in rocket engine testing.
I get super excited when I see rocket launches in the news or on the Internet.
“Woah that’s so cool!”
“Holy shit! Hardware I touched is on that!”
“Yooooo. Those engines I tested are on the Moon!”






We make engines for other people to attach onto their satellites or rockets. All I typically do is test if the engines are functional. I help build the test programs and go through the resulting data. Our customers do the GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) programming, so I have no idea how that typically works.
