I've omitted his contact info (at his request). If you are interested in knowing more, please contact me via the e-mail link on my post, and I will pass on to you his phone number and e-mail privately.

PM'ed you.

They don't want any Mass Properties people?

They are doomed to failure.

Sounds like SpaceX - apart from the bit about Texas.

...Armadillo Aerospace ??

I'm a *lousy* manager, so it's not a position I'd want to try for.

Now, if they were looking for guys to bend tin, or do wiring, or build avionics...

Well, since managers typically need PEOPLE to manage, this company is likely going to be looking at hiring non-managerial folks at some point as well. If you're still interested, it couldn't hurt to contact them and acknowledge that you aren't the manager they are looking for, but if they are also looking for skilled and experienced avionics, fabrication, or structural workers, that you'd like to talk with them.

Send me a PM or an e-mail if you're interested.

Nah - I like what I'm doing now, and don't feel the need to pack up and move.
