These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world.  We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Position Overview:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">We are seeking a Director of Engineering, Manufacturing to own all manufacturing at Inversion.
