Roller coasters are only fun for a while - Anonymous employee Moon Express Employee Review

For anyone interested in space exploration, working at Moon Express is a breath of fresh air. The company is small, which gives you the opportunity to blaze your own trail, and explore areas of interest. Living and working on the Space Coast of Florida, is amazing. Rockets launch monthly from Cape Canaveral, occasionally having three (3) or more launches each month. The night launches and flyback of the Falcon 9 is breathtakingly beautiful. All this while living in a vacation destination. The local area has all the amenities anyone could want (mall, movie theater, and many family owned & chain restaurants.) You can surf and fish all year round, and Orlando International Airport is a mere 40 minutes away. Take a cruise to the Bahamas, or spend an evening on the casino boat. Being part of Moon Express is being part of space history, and I am grateful I get to be a part of it. Their ambitious goal to be the first commercial lander on the Moon is within reach, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve. As a member of the team working to make that happen, your role directly impacts the mission. Since it is a small team it quickly feels like family.

Not everyone who wants to can be a part of this: As a small team everyone needs a high level of dedication, commitment, and ability to go with the flow, and work together. As a small company, policies and best practices are still emerging. Direction may be limited; you will be expected to learn what you don't know to get the job done.

I loved that this job gave me the skills to work in a field that is in my passion: propulsion engineering. I got to work with some excellent engineers who were nice and friendly. I got to work on the testing of their propulsion engine and develop skills that would come in handy for future jobs.

Their facilities was a big hassle with all the employees since we initially had to be cramped in an office as their other building was still in the process of being renovated. Once we were able to go out to that building, the A/C wasn't working so we had to make use of a small one in the window, however, wasn't very effective at cooling the room. The testing process took a long time and was hoping to get some hands-on experience with that part but unfortunately didn't because of the long process it took.
