What believers are saying

Customer work continues beyond assembly: Rocket includes order fulfillment and returned-product logistics in its production services.
Supervisory experience substitutes for college: San Jose's quality supervisor accepts a high school diploma plus three supervisory years.
Engineering leadership has published pay: Carson City's director role lists a $150,000-$200,000 range.

What critics are saying

Production hours extend beyond weekdays: Carson City's second-shift machine operator role lists overtime and weekends as needed.
Inspection entry requires credentials: Carson City's quality inspector needs electronics workmanship or soldering certification plus two years' inspection experience.
Export controls restrict director eligibility: Carson City requires lawful technical-data access or eligibility for required government authorization.

What makes Rocket EMS unique
