Rubens discusses his career through his employment with Engineering Research Associates (ERA). He reviews his education in physics at the University of Washington, graduate study at the University of California, Los Angeles, and his teaching position at the University of Southern California beginning in 1937. In 1940, he joined the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. There he met Howard Engstrom, Robert Gutterman, Howard Daniels, and William Norris. In 1945, under the sponsorship of the Office of Naval Research, this group formed ERA to continue their war-time work, and Rubens joined them in 1946.
