        <div class="card">

          <h3>Propulsion Systems</h3>

          <p>Design, integration, and test of propulsion architectures. We move from concept to hardware quickly and learn from what breaks.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Vehicle Dynamics</h3>

          <p>Modeling, simulation, and physical validation. Desks sit next to the test cells so the people designing it can stand next to the part.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Advanced Sensors</h3>

          <p>Sensor systems for navigation, tracking, and environment. We own the critical path rather than wait in someone else’s queue.</p>

      <h2>How we work</h2>

      <div class="grid">

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Direct lines to the work</h3>

          <p>Small teams with short decision paths. You work with the people responsible for the technical outcome, not layers of coordination.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Test like you fly</h3>

          <p>We put hardware in the loop sooner rather than later. Issues surface while they are still inexpensive to correct.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Design stays close to the hardware</h3>

          <p>Analysis, design, and test happen in proximity. The engineers accountable for the system can see and work with the actual hardware, which improves judgment and reduces handoffs.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Focus on decisions</h3>

          <p>Documentation supports the work and the decisions that move it forward. We keep it purposeful.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Radical transparency</h3>

          <p>Cost, schedule, and technical status remain open. You see the same information we use to manage the effort.</p>

        </div>

        <div class="card">

          <h3>Ownership of the critical path</h3>

          <p>When external dependencies create delay, we bring capability in-house. This reduces handoffs and keeps accountability clear.</p>
