His lifelong friendship with Boyce led him into espionage activities after Boyce, a code clerk employed with the large US defense contractor, TRW (headquartered in the Los Angeles community of Redondo Beach), began stealing classified documents detailing how to decrypt secure US government message traffic and detailed specifications of the latest US spy satellites with the intention of delivering them to agents of the Soviet Union.
Beyond Mobil, Hoffman was responsible for the development of similar communications programs for UTC, Aetna, Motorola, TRW, Merck and others.
In 1981, he joined a company that was acquired by the satellite communications firm Comsat, where he held a variety of executive positions before joining TRW Information Systems Group in 1986.
The Stilo was the first car worldwide to use the TRW Column-Drive Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPS) technology later introduced on the 2003 Nissan Micra & Renault Megane.
The spacecraft and its instrumentation were developed jointly by NSPO and TRW using TRW's Lightsat bus, and was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, USA by Lockheed Martin on January 27, 1999.
Smith retired from football after the 1942 season and took a job as personnel director of Thompson Products, Inc., an aerospace, automotive and financial conglomerate based in Ohio.
the 1970s, TRW developed a system called PROSE that took the ideas of chemical engineers to compute point derivatives that were exact derivatives at a given point, and to embed them in a consistent, Fortran-style calculus modeling language.
He worked for several high-tech firms in the Washington, D.C. area, including TRW, ICA and Logicon Process Systems.
Boyce, an expert in the sport of falconry—thus, the nickname "Falcon"—gets a job at a civilian defense contractor (TRW, called "RTX" in the movie) working in the so-called "Black Vault," a secure communication facility through which flows information on some of the most classified U.S. operations in the world.
From 1955 to 1965 he worked in the aerospace industry, first at the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation and later at the Space Technology Laboratories of TRW.
He then joined the American Machine and Foundry Co. In 1965, he joined TRW as assistant program manager for surface ship sonar systems and program manager for undersea surveillance.
The Chandra x-ray mirrors resulted from over two decades of collaboration between Van Speybroeck and colleagues at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and scientists and engineers affiliated with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, TRW Inc., Hughes-Danbury (now BF Goodrich Aerospace), Optical Coating Laboratories, Inc.
Armacost has served on numerous corporate and nonprofit boards, including TRW, AFLAC, Applied Materials, USEC, Inc., Cargill, Inc, Carleton College, and The Asia Foundation.
The Laboratory also has ties with the M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory, NASA Langley, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Air Force Research Laboratory, as well as the Departments of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at M.I.T., and aerospace companies such as Draper, TRW, Lockheed-Martin, MDA and Hughes.
Friedman was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist for such companies as General Electric (1956–1959), Aerojet General Nucleonics (1959–1963), General Motors (1963–1966), Westinghouse (1966–1968), TRW Systems (1969–1970), and McDonnell Douglas, where he worked on advanced, classified programs on nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and compact nuclear power plants for space applications.
The TR-106 or Low Cost Pintle Engine (LPCE) was a developmental rocket engine designed by TRW under the Space Launch Initiative to reduce the cost of launch services and space flight.
