No experience
required.
We hire first years. We hire people who have never touched a rocket. We hire people who aren't in engineering. Come ready to learn. We'll teach the rest.
Four steps.
Applications are closed for now. When they reopen: meet us at a recruiting event, fill in the form, then have a short interview with the subteam you want to join.
Meet us at a recruiting event
We table at Facultyfest for incoming first-year engineers and at Clubsfest on the JHE field during B2S week. Watch our Instagram for the next one.
Fill in the form
It asks which subteam you're interested in, plus a few short questions about why you want to join and any past experience.
Interview with a subteam
Every subteam runs its own interview, usually 30 minutes to an hour, about what you'd want to work on.
Start building
You're in. Show up to meetings, come to build sessions, and get to work on a real vehicle.

Questions people ask.
If your question isn't here, email us. We would rather answer it than have you talk yourself out of applying.
I have never built anything. Can I still join?
Yes, and most of us started there. First-term members are paired with someone who has done the job before, and your first deliverable is deliberately small. The team exists to teach this.
I am not in engineering. Is there a place for me?
Yes, on any subteam, not only Operations. Operations runs largely on non-engineers: commerce, communications, humanities and science students sit on it. But Airframe, Avionics, Payload and the rest interview on what you want to work on, not your program.
How much time does it actually take?
About six hours a week for most members.
Can I join partway through the year?
Not usually. We hire during a set window each term, at Clubsfest and Facultyfest, rather than on a rolling basis. If you missed the window, email us and we'll get back if there are any openings.
What if I want to try a different subteam later?
Normal, and encouraged. Plenty of people move once they have seen what the other subteams actually do.

Applications for this term are closed. Stay tuned to our Instagram for future opportunities. You don't need to be an engineer: we need people on operations as much as on airframe.
