Traditionally, Rocket Team is divided into subteams in order to logically divide research, development, and construction among team members. These subteams usually include:
  1. Propulsion
  2. Avionics
  3. Structures
    1. Recovery
    2. Internal Structures
  4. Payload
  5. Aerodynamics
  6. Simulations

However, these subteams are subject to change depending on the mission and project that year. Subteams are led by one (maybe two) people that are responsible for managing the subteam and delegating tasks.

There are also cross-functional groups that work between subteams: 

  1. Ground Support/Launch Ops
  2. Custom Technologies

The team is run by the Executive Council which typically works with the subteam leads. There are numerous other jobs taken up by people on the team.
