In the News: “After focusing on asteroid assets and clean power, engineers start fresh with a venture called Special Teams” [GeekWire]

Special Teams’ founder and CEO, Clara Sekowski, discusses a hardware mockup build with teammates in the loading bay of their new 7,400-square-foot facility in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood.

The team behind the team for customers around the globe, Special Team’s CEO, Clara Sekowski sat down with GeekWire to showcase some highlights from its first year in operation.

We use systems engineering to bridge the gap between innovation on paper and operational deployment,” Sekowski said. “We design and build prototypes and custom simulations to prove that concepts can work in real-world conditions.”

Special Teams’ to-do list includes helping BHP lay the groundwork for deep-mining automation; working on a confidential nuclear project; and advising Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, a high-performance car company, on its plan to create a hydrogen-powered pickup truck.

“I have worked for decades with top engineering and design companies around the world … on highly complex and challenging projects,” Jesse Glickenhaus, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus’ CEO, said in an emailed statement. “SpecTeams is by far the most incredible team I have worked with when doing something new and technologically challenging needs to be paired with significant safety and environmental concerns.”
