Check out Relativity Space in LA. They're a an orbital vehicle startup, and looking for a one man IT guy (DevOps/sysadmin/etc) with a manufacturing bent (heavy emphasis on supporting a vehicle design team and lean manufacturing using automated machining equipment).
Sounds great, but I'm in Europe :)
Darn! Was worth a shot.
Sounds kind of interesting, though. I might look them up--feel like making an intro?
I've reached out to my contact there. If the position is still available I'll setup an intro.
Depends on what you want to do! For me, I want to live in a small town in the woods, raise chickens, that sort of thing, so I would pick a region first, then look for interesting businesses there, and simply write and ask if they need someone with technology skills.
