Description
What You'll DoAs an entry-level engineer, you'll work alongside experienced engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and military subject matter experts to solve challenging technical problems.
Depending on your interests and project assignments, you may:
- Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain software for advanced mission planning and decision-support applications.
- Apply software engineering, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, data analysis, or artificial intelligence techniques to solve complex operational challenges.
- Develop and evaluate algorithms that improve mission planning, resource allocation, and operational effectiveness.
- Build secure software using modern engineering practices, including DevSecOps, automated testing, and containerized development environments.
- Conduct engineering studies that evaluate the capabilities and limitations of current and future defense systems.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to transition research into operational capabilities.
- Learn from experienced mentors while contributing to meaningful projects from your first day.
- Engage with military operators and mission experts to better understand operational challenges and translate user needs into technical solutions.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications if you:- Have earned or will earn a Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Astronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
