Our collaborative and agile organization operates in a fast‑paced environment, driving innovation through tasks such as sensor/weapon integration, algorithm development, user interface development, automated testing, cyber security, enterprise/infrastructure services, and enhancing leading‑edge missile defense technologies.

The Networks and Enterprise Services (NES) Engineering Manager serves as a senior systems‑engineer leader responsible for technical planning, system integration, verification & validation, and cost‑risk analyses across the full life‑cycle of missile‑defense‑related IT and communications systems.
