You will be part of a team known for deploying new products for military and commercial use.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

You’ll be supporting and leading projects that develop and exploit new technologies, executing multiple proof-of-concept type projects in quick succession. You will be expected to participate in securing funding through proposals to the Government and private funding sources. This position is considered a mid-level to senior position. You will need to be able to demonstrate an exceptional degree of technical ingenuity, intellectual curiosity, aptitude for building (as opposed to simply analyzing or theorizing), clear communication, and a track record of successful business development/bid and proposal efforts. You will be a self-starter and able to demonstrate a history of seeking out, identifying, and capitalizing on learning opportunities.

Here’s what you’ll need:

You must have a bachelor’s degree at minimum, in a scientific or engineering field such as Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Aerospace Engineering, or similar. Also, we’re looking for someone with 15+ years of full-time professional experience in an engineering role. Finally, you must possess or have the ability to obtain an active Secret Security Clearance. Lacking any one of these disqualifies you from this job.

  1. Electrical engineering
  2. Software development (backend; one or more of Python/C++/C)
  3. Machine learning (or a combination of mathematics and computer programming)
  4. Mechanical engineering
  5. Materials Science
• Outstanding demonstrated technical competence and ingenuity in one of the five areas identified above (EE, software dev, ML, MechE, or Mat Sci) [Must be able to quickly understand, apply, and adapt challenging technical concepts without a walkthrough]
• Exceptional aptitude for building tangible products [Must be able to demonstrate this by a portfolio of work in some capacity]
• Strong intellectual curiosity [You will be asked to leave your comfort zone early and often, so we're looking for evidence that you've done this on your own before]
• Demonstrated history of effective collaboration [You'll be working with multiple other people as part of a variety of integrated teams and must be capable of both shouldering work yourself and leading projects with little guidance. This implies other things like good communication, planning and coordination, and 'soft' skills.]
• Demonstrated history of successful business development / bid and proposal / commercialization efforts [You'll be in a position to lead new efforts that originate from our proof-of-concept type work, and should be comfortable and fully excited about doing so]
