This is our general application for individuals who believe they can meaningfully contribute to LEAP’s mission, even if a posted opening doesn’t perfectly match their background.

Leveraging proprietary propulsion technology and modern manufacturing techniques, LEAP delivers scalable and cost-effective, launch solutions for national security, commercial payload deployment, and global point-to-point logistics applications.
