Part 2/6:
At Varta, engineers are entrusted with high-stakes deliverables such as flight computers, solar arrays, or heat shields, often with minimal oversight. The key principle is simple but rigorous: if the engineer can deliver a working prototype or component, they advance; if not, the consequence is termination. This model is designed to attract driven, self-motivated individuals who view their work as a personal challenge and are willing to "bet on themselves."
This culture creates a unique environment—an environment attractive to those who thrive under pressure and possess a strong sense of ownership over their projects. It’s a high-stakes gamble that emphasizes accountability and reward, aligning personal ambition with the company's mission.
