Salam Zantout
Hardware Security Engineer
Securing Space
Intersection of research and hands-on development
To protect against bad actors threatening outer space, the hardware security team’s responsibilities run the gamut. Zantout’s work includes research and development, prototyping, and applying hardware assurance capabilities to national security space and terrestrial programs. Recently, her team built a security monitor that detects attacks on field-programmable gate arrays aboard spacecrafts and satellites.
I have the opportunity to work on technical and hands-on projects as well as policy-related tasks like standard development.
Mikhail Tadjikov
Director of Embedded and Specialized Computing Department
Exploration Encouraged
Promoting ownership and innovation from the start
Aerospace runs the only federally funded research and development center committed to the space enterprise. To continue modernizing space operations for internal, national and global customers, Tadjikov asks his team to investigate new technologies and projects, regardless of rank. Recent projects include Kubernetes space deployments, prototyping payloads and AI experimentation.
Most technical staff work on a few projects concurrently, which provides the chance for our employees to pursue new technologies and solve complex problems. It’s not uncommon to see junior staff leading large projects.
Misha Dowd
Manager of Software Systems Assurance Department
Quality Driven
Taking time to deliver a solid product
A rapidly executed product isn’t always a good one. That’s why Dowd instructs her team to gain a clear understanding of customer needs before moving on. The engineering manager followed her own advice while designing an analytics tool for launch support. As someone who joined the company with no prior aerospace experience, Dowd sought out help from analysts to understand the science and theories behind launch vehicles.
I strive to deliver quality products in a timely manner, and my team has thrived because of the quality of work we put in.

It has been my experience over the past 6 years that we have an excellent work/life balance. Our product is our expertise, so individuals are recognized and valued for the unique perspective they bring to the table. I’ve never felt like “just a number”, and with that understanding comes a flexibility to my work schedule that I really appreciate.

Matt

Manager, Integrated Sensor Design and Analysis Department

How does the company support your career growth?

Aerospace encourages each employee’s ability to learn and grow by nurturing a diverse environment of technical expertise. We have subject matter experts in every topic that involves space launch (and much more!) who are easy to locate, access, engage, and collaborate with to develop and create career growth opportunities.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I think of my career as a journey filled with personal growth; rather than a sequence of titles. I’ve worked with a diverse group of individuals over time, which has helped me realize the power of seeing the possibilities and potential in everyone. Sure, my career has grown in title and responsibility, but the real growth has been in me.
