Why Work at Redwire?
Testimonials
My intern experience at Redwire was phenomenal! My mentor, manager, and entire team were not only welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable, but they also made everyday fun and exciting. I greatly enjoyed all the projects and initiatives I got to work on, and I am extremely grateful to have been hired on as a full-time employee.

Human Resources Intern
This internship is one of the best things to happen to me, as very few others can say they got to work on equipment going to be sent to space. I also never forget to mention the size and importance of the projects I work on and how fortunate I am to have the level of support and help from my mentors and other engineers. This is one of the greatest learning experiences of my career along with feeling that the work I am doing is of value.

Sierra Quintana
Robotics Engineering Intern
My internship at Redwire was an incredibly hands-on experience, particularly in the area of test engineering where I was involved in designing GSE RF test fixtures for numerous RF components in anechoic chambers. I had full ownership of this project, and the team was supportive and encouraged me to take on challenging tasks, giving me a real sense of what it's like to work in the aerospace industry. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that helped me grow both technically and professionally.
