Why Join
  • Be part of a highly skilled engineering team advancing the performance and reliability of mission-critical systems.
  • Work on real-world defense and space projects that have a global impact.
  • Gain hands-on training in radiation effects testing - a rare and highly specialized field.
  • Contribute to technologies that help shape the future of aerospace and defense innovation.


The staffing industry has seen an increase in people falsely representing themselves as recruiters to gather personal information from job seekers. For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it's from an official Planet domain (@theplanetgroup.com or @launchcg.com) - and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
