Responsibilities include workforce and career management, hiring, technical leadership, customer collaboration, technology roadmaps, R&D proposal development, business growth, and performance evaluations. The role requires extensive hands-on engineering experience, leadership of complex embedded software development, strong communication, and expertise in advanced first-of-a-kind systems.

Designs and develops autonomous behaviors for heterogeneous autonomous vehicle teams across aerial, ground, underwater, and space domains. Responsibilities include autonomy algorithm design, embedded software development, real-time software integration, requirements analysis, testing, performance evaluation, technical documentation, and stakeholder communication. The role requires strong control systems knowledge and experience with MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C/C++, and robotics platforms. A bachelor's degree and 3–5 years of relevant software engineering experience are required.

The Senior Financial Analyst partners with internal departments on budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, expense monitoring, capital planning, ROI analysis, and financial reporting. The role validates month-end data, researches transactions, develops analytical insights, presents recommendations to leadership, and guides less experienced analysts. It requires strong Excel and financial systems expertise, communication skills, and knowledge of applicable government regulations.

Lead systems concept, requirements, architecture, and verification using MBSE and digital engineering for defense and space systems. Develop use cases, manage requirements and interfaces, support modeling/simulation and HWIL testing, mentor engineers, and coordinate with customers and partners to drive design, testing, and deployment.

The Principal Embedded Software Engineer develops high-performance embedded software solutions, evaluates requirements, designs algorithms, mentors teams, and ensures compliance with engineering standards.

Designs, develops, validates, and maintains system-level and real-time simulations and HIL infrastructure for aerospace systems. Architects simulation architectures, integrates hardware interfaces and legacy models, develops software frameworks, automates test plans, integrates 3D visualization, and may lead small teams while serving as a simulation subject-matter expert.

Manage end-to-end execution of production programs to meet cost, schedule, and technical targets. Lead cross-functional teams, customer relationships, EVMS-based planning, contract negotiations, quality assurance, risk management, and business development for production and sustainment programs.

Lead development of system security requirements and resilient architectures, design and implement cybersecurity strategy and controls, configure and monitor security infrastructure, integrate vulnerability remediation and incident response into systems engineering, document compliance with NIST/DoD/NSA standards, apply cryptography and key management practices, and communicate findings through technical reports and training for multidisciplinary teams.

Lead system security engineering for secure platforms across architecture, design, integration, and deployment. Define system-level requirements, identify and mitigate technical risks, develop security documentation and program protection plans, mentor engineers, and communicate technical results to sponsors and program leadership. Support evaluation, accreditation, and implementation of cryptographic and supply-chain protections.

Develop and execute integration and test plans for ASICs, MEMS, and microelectronic subsystems. Perform bring-up, debug, electrical and environmental characterization, reliability and radiation testing, and test automation. Document requirements, create verification plans, analyze test data, and lead test tasks across multidisciplinary programs.

Design and implement analog mixed-signal ASIC layouts and transistor-level circuits, perform floor-planning and full-custom layout, run extracted simulations and physical verification (DRC/LVS/PM), optimize for power/performance, support tape-outs, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to system-level design and proposals.

Lead design, integration, and deployment of trustworthy secure platforms. Define system security requirements, architect cybersecurity solutions, evaluate systems for cyber, reverse-engineering, and supply-chain threats, develop security documentation per government requirements, configure and monitor security infrastructure, mentor junior engineers, and present technical results to stakeholders.

Support continuous monitoring and authorization of classified information systems. Conduct audits, continuous monitoring, incident response, vulnerability assessments, and configuration management using STIG/SCAP/Nessus under ISSM direction. Ensure user clearances and maintain security documentation and compliance.

Lead Information Assurance for DoD/IC systems, manage ISSOs/ISSMs, implement RMF (DAAG/JSIG/ICD 503), perform continuous monitoring, incident response, risk analysis, security reviews, and mentor staff to achieve authorization decisions.

The Principal Cyber Tool and Capability Developer will design and develop cyber tools, assess security vulnerabilities, and lead technical solutions in a multi-disciplinary team. Responsibilities include developing software for tailored applications and mentoring less experienced engineers while driving complex solutions.

Assess security vulnerabilities in hardware/software, develop solutions, mentor engineers, and drive complex problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.

The GNC Mission Analyst analyzes performance of weapon system concepts, supports research, and collaborates on mission designs, addressing complex national challenges.

Plan, execute, and manage system integration and test activities from concept through certification. Perform functional simulation, subsystem and system integration, V&V, performance evaluation, and acceptance testing. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to establish verifiable requirements, drive testable designs, and produce technical reports and presentations.
