Who Builds
Stellar
Getting The Guinea Pig to 100 km takes people who can connect one subsystem to the whole mission. We are assembling the disciplines that make that possible.
Apply to the TeamLeadership
Rishu Sheth founded Stellar Aerospace and leads it as CEO and Chief Engineer. Stellar began as a high school project, and the first design work on The Guinea Pig dates from that time.
Eric Gong is Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Together they lead the core team, plus 25 people working across the disciplines below.
The Disciplines
Propulsion Engineering
Design, simulate and test liquid propulsion, from injector to nozzle.
Structures & Manufacturing
Develop the airframe and fabricate hardware for ascent and recovery.
Avionics & Recovery
Build flight computing, telemetry and the systems that bring the vehicle home.
Software & Controls
Develop ground systems, telemetry and mission control software.
Safety Engineering
Turn hazard analysis into deliberate test procedures and range operations.
Business & Sponsorship
Connect fundraising, budgeting and partner relationships to the build.
Media & Public Relations
Document the hardware, the people and the story of getting to space.
Operations
Coordinate the workspace, test logistics and the people doing the work.
Experience Recommended,
Not Required
The founding-team application welcomes a willingness to learn and build. Prior rocketry and engineering experience is not required, but it is heavily recommended.
The work spans the whole mission: design decisions, fabrication, ground software, safety and the flight campaign. Each discipline connects to the others.
