Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Conduct mechanical and environmental testing, including vibration, shock, modal analysis, load testing, instrumentation, and data acquisition. Operate specialized test equipment, analyze results using MATLAB, prepare engineering and safety documentation, perform structural and thermal calculations, and support design, fabrication, assembly, and engineering reviews. Higher-level assignments independently define requirements and manage project plans, schedules, budgets, and technical activities.

Analyze hypersonic reentry and weapons systems using aerothermal, trajectory, aerodynamic, heat-transfer, ablation, and CFD models. Develop computational models and analysis workflows, support geometry and mesh creation, evaluate flight conditions, analyze test data, and contribute to design optimization, hardware integration, verification and validation, and uncertainty quantification. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering and research teams, document and present technical results, support program deliverables, and occasionally travel.

Graduate or recently graduated interns provide technical and research support across engineering and applied science projects. Responsibilities include conducting research with limited supervision, solving technical problems, supporting scientists and engineers, documenting and presenting findings, attending seminars, and collaborating in a team environment during a full-time 10–12 week internship.

Undergraduate interns provide technical and research support in engineering, physics, computer science, and related disciplines. Responsibilities include conducting supervised research, applying engineering or scientific principles, gathering and analyzing data, using discipline-specific software, collaborating with mentors, and presenting findings through technical talks, reports, or posters. Interns work full time for 10–12 weeks and attend relevant seminars and facility tours.

Graduate interns provide computational engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related research support. Responsibilities include gathering and analyzing data, conducting research with limited supervision, supporting scientific and engineering projects, applying computational or mathematical principles, and presenting findings through presentations or posters.

Lead malware, binary, firmware and source-code analysis to identify vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and federal networks. Develop automated analysis tools and workflows, mentor staff, write technical reports, shape research direction, pursue program growth and proposals, and collaborate with sponsors to secure and harden operational technology and software assurance capabilities.

The Senior Guidance, Navigation & Control Engineer develops solutions for space missions supporting national security and manages complex GNC subsystem tasks from design to testing.

Implement and maintain GRC solutions, evaluate and configure security controls, inspect system configurations for compliance, analyze machine-generated log/event data, collaborate with stakeholders to remediate risk, and support continuous monitoring and accreditation processes. SES.2 hires take on broader solution development and stakeholder/priority management.

Design and analyze precision optomechanical assemblies and mechanisms for space telescopes and payloads. Develop structural, thermal, and dynamic models; perform tolerance/error budgeting and metrology planning; support integration, alignment, environmental testing, and verification. Communicate technical results, contribute to proposals, and provide technical leadership for complex spaceflight optical systems at the senior level.

Design, analyze, integrate, and test complex optical instrumentation for aircraft and spacecraft missions. Perform optical system modeling, metrology (interferometers, spectrophotometers, collimated-source testing), develop test methodologies and analysis tools, prepare engineering documentation, support procurement, and present technical results. Lead technical efforts and provide direction at the senior SES.4 level.
