About Austin Thomas

My interests lie in the design of aerospace vehicles for defense and space exploration while continuing to advance and grow while working for an aerospace, nuclear energy, fusion, SMR corporation. I have years of leadership experience, design skills, and a tenacious work ethic. Ultimately, I want to create effective and scalable improvement for an innovative engineering company and very interested in discovering opportunities that are available inside or outside of the United States.
