Q&A with Joey Meurer, Mechanical Engineer

Q: What excites you the most about working at a company like Apex?

We've done a great job of attracting incredibly talented and passionate people who are fun to work with. When you pair that with the challenge of making reliable, effective, and easily manufacturable satellite buses at scale (something that hasn't fully been done yet) it makes for a really exciting place to work!

Q: Why are you excited about space?

There's a lot of energy around new developments in space, on the moon, and targeting other planets right now, and with that lots of opportunities to do cool things for the first time. I'm just thankful to be part of it!

Q: You are somewhat new here at Apex. What has surprised you the most so far?

I didn't expect Apex to gain so much momentum, so quickly. We've doubled since I joined, and it feels like every two weeks there's a big new announcement. People here are fired up and proud to be part of it. I haven't experienced a work environment with so much energy before this.

Q: Tell us a bit about what you do in your free time.
