Nope, we're a wholly-owned subsidiary (several hundred people) of a vaguely similar company. I could go into the details (better benefits for example) but it gets complicated. People make wrong assumptions about the work environment. We were a start-up about 13 years ago, and still retain much of that culture. It's not a bunch of bureaucrats in cubes wearing ties, and we don't want to waste time interviewing people who seek that kind of thing. There really are lots of useless toxic people who see a famous company name and then picture a bureaucracy in which they can hide as a parasite. We work hard to keep them away.

My guess is SI based on the information provided.
Huntsville is going through its town center/SoDoSoPa phase at the moment with lots of tiny villages and shopping centers being built. There is a new one going up right by Big Spring Park and it is probably the first time I have seen a crane in downtown.
Proposed merger with Orbital ATK should cement its launch capability into New Space era.
Also, Huntsville, AL. Where the James Webb Space Telescope primary manufacturing is performed. Is looking like it may become a budding startup hub.
