Graduate Engineer

Description Do you want to help U.S. military personnel successfully carry out their critical defense missions around the globe? Are you passionate about applying your academic degree to help our warfighters tacklethe difficult challenges they face, such as Achieving Robust Homeland Defense, Accelerating Warfighting Capabilities in INDOPACOM, Operationalizing Space Forces and Operationalizing Artificial Intelligence? Would you like to make critical contributions to the prototyping, development, and transition of military mission planning tools and solutions to U.S. warfighters in the Armed Services? If so and you are graduating with a degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or Mathematics AND want to work in a team-oriented environment, then we'd love to have you join our team! In A5C, we develop and deliver highly capable mission planning tools into the hands of the warfighter so they can configure/optimize fielded military systems for maximum performance across multiple simultaneous air and missile defense missions, multiple services, and multiple command echelon planning levels. We are seeking an enthusiastic team player willing to take on challenging assignments and willing to learn about the complexity of placing and configuring military systems. As a member of our team your duties and tasks could include: Designing, implementing, testing, and cyber-hardening software in both unclassified and classified environments.
