This is one of three per­ma­nent facil­i­ties the com­pa­ny is open­ing this year, which include a pol­i­cy and com­mer­cial hub in Wash­ing­ton, D.C. and a pri­ma­ry R&D facil­i­ty in Fre­mont, Cal­i­for­nia.

Super­nal ini­tial­ly plans to hire over 100 new employ­ees this year. The Com­pa­ny is seek­ing engi­neers with expe­ri­ence in flight con­trol, air­frame design, struc­tur­al analy­sis, elec­tri­cal and sys­tems inte­gra­tion. Inter­est­ed can­di­dates can view open posi­tions HERE.

Jai­won Shin, Pres­i­dent of HMG and CEO of Super­nal, com­ment­ed, “This strate­gic loca­tion enables us to expand our rapid­ly grow­ing team of indus­try experts in aero­space, auto­mo­tive and deep-tech. Togeth­er, we are poised to rede­fine trans­porta­tion and shape the future of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.”

The release explains, “The facility’s design style, referred to as “kin­ship,” aims to fos­ter com­mu­ni­ty and encour­age col­lab­o­ra­tion among employ­ees. Team “home­rooms” are inter­spersed through­out the work­space, pro­vid­ing com­fort­able areas for inter­ac­tion and relax­ation.”

It con­tin­ues, “Mov­able fur­ni­ture and round soft archi­tec­ture allow for the cre­ation of adapt­able spaces tai­lored to the vary­ing needs of employ­ees and pro­mote a sense of own­er­ship. The four-sto­ry space has light fix­tures through­out which resem­ble clouds to cre­ate an ethe­re­al ambiance, while flight paths guide employ­ees through­out the space and the office’s game room fea­tures avi­a­tion-themed decor and inspir­ing quotes, adding an ele­ment of play­ful­ness and cre­ativ­i­ty.”
