Bold

Varda works to solve unsolved problems in multiple fields. Working here takes the confidence to forge new paths and quickly make judgement calls when there isn’t a correct, known answer.

Technical

A regular day at Varda includes conversations about the crystallization of polypeptides and the ablation dynamics of advanced TPS. A healthy dose of technical ability and acumen surrounds every hire no matter the role.

Ambitious

There are easier industries to work in. Employees at Varda are looking to truly build what’s next, forging a new path for the space industry and everyone on the planet.

Down to Earth

Varda’s mission is a marathon not a sprint. While we take our work very seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
