SET’s most valuable resources are its employees. Therefore, we strive hard to create a fun, productive work environment and a highly competitive benefits package that allow us to attract and retain “high IQ, high energy” scientists, engineers, and subject matter experts. The SET culture encourages collaborative, team-oriented approaches to solving customer problems. All junior team members are assigned senior mentors, who help them learn, take risks, and accept broader responsibilities as quickly as possible.
