Sr. Avionics Development Technician

Long Wall Company was created in 2024 to accelerate missile defense technology for the U.S. and our allies. Building on the RS1 and GS0 launch systems, Long Wall develops containerized, mass‑producible missile defense systems and offers rapid, low‑cost flight testing. We believe that the future of global security and stability requires defensive technology that is lower cost, higher performing, better tested, and more broadly distributed than is possible today.
