Be Relentless
At the core of our organization are principles that guide every action and decision we make. These values define our story, our problem-solving approach, and are the foundation for how we operate as a company.
Gain insight through humility
Approach every challenge with a learner’s mindset. Be open to feedback, listen to others, and deepen your understanding through self-awareness. Put your ego aside and always seek truth in discussion with others. This is particularly crucial for effective leadership.
Distill & Simplify
Eliminate unjustified complexity and simplify wherever possible, whether in requirements, design, or execution. This applies to communication and decision-making as well. Use first principles thinking and distill each facet of a problem to its essence. Less is more.
Find your flow
Engage fully and work with intention, finding the rhythm and deep focus that leads to doing your best work. Discover your Ikigai - where your strengths, passions, and purpose drive both personal fulfillment and team success. When you're "in the zone", that is when the magic happens.
SEND (Solve, Evolve, Nail It, Deliver)
Devise the best solution with the information at hand, test it, learn from it, iterate quickly, and then nail it. Don't expect it to work perfectly the first time, but you should never encounter the same issue twice. Laser-focus on solving customer problems and deliver solutions that provide real value for them.
Why Work With Us
H3X is a skunkworks-style team laser-focused on building exceptional products through advanced engineering, vertical integration, and lightning-fast execution. We’ve assembled a world-class team of engineers and builders from SpaceX, Tesla, Anduril, and beyond. You’ll be surrounded by people who push you to do the best work of your life.
