I work for a little aerospace company, Lockheed Martin, at a missile and explosives manufacturing site. We have been know to test the things we make too, WHOO HOOO!! I do a little bit of everything, but mostly I'm the Security and Safety guy.

There are about 4 kinds of employees at that kind of place, managers (who tell you what to do, but not how to do it), hands on workers (the ones who do the hard day-to-day work), administrative folks (people who never leave their desks, but use email, phones and keyboards the whole day), and engineers (the folks that figure out how to make the other three kinds of employees work together, and they aren't engineers, just engineers in title). I fall into the engineer category, figuring out how to do the job right, so that nobody gets hurt or in trouble. It is a full time job, and then some.

The work is always a challenge, very rewarding, every once in a while it is rocket science, and I get to be a part of some really cool stuff when new projects come along. Really keeps the mind sharp and expanding. A lot like figuring out how to put your car together, and keep it running. And doing what it takes to make it better.
