"Design Your Living" is a late 1950s color film to recruit engineers for Northrop Aircraft Inc. The first half of the movie highlights the engineering marvels that Northrop has produced, while the second half presents a wonderful look at SoCal living in the mid to late 1950s, with Disneyland, Hollywood and many other attractions, modern freeways and new suburbs offering a high quality lifestyle to a well paid aeronautical engineer. Movie opens on a rotating satellite dish. A missile is about to take off from a range in Florida. It is the Northrop SM-62 Snark, an early-model intercontinental range ground-launched cruise missile that could carry a W39 thermonuclear warhead. The Snark is jet propelled and guided by a self-contained, non-jammable guidance system - it soars through the air 1:25. Radar and telemetry systems monitor every detail of its journey 1:37.

The engineers work with the most advanced technology available 11:35. The computer division 11:45. Engineering projects are fully developed from concept to production to delivery to customer 12:11. The Northrop Sky Screen 12:20. Camera scans across the sky 13:03. Engineers are pioneering complete fuel systems 13:12. Metallurgical engineers search the microstructures of high temperature alloys to find the keys to higher heat resistance 13:24. Engineers work with various instruments 14:10. The Snark missile takes off 14:20. The End. Northrop Aircraft Inc. Hawthorne California. The Northrop SM-62 Snark was an early-model intercontinental range ground-launched cruise missile that could carry a W39 thermonuclear warhead. The Snark was deployed by the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command from 1958 through 1961. It represented an important step in weapons technology during the Cold War. The Snark took its name from the author Lewis Carroll's character the "snark".
