Graduate - Systems & Software Engineer - Multi-Domain Mission Planning Development

Help Shape the Future of National Defense

Are you ready to launch your engineering career by solving complex, real-world challenges?

Do you want your work to have a direct impact on protecting the nation and supporting the U.S. Armed Forces?

Are you excited to combine your expertise in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, modeling and simulation, or artificial intelligence with multidisciplinary teams to develop capabilities that strengthen homeland and threater ballistic missile, hypersonic, and air defense, enable multi-domain operations, accelerate war fighting capabilities in the Indo-Pacific, and enable space operations?

If you're graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree and are looking for meaningful technical work in a collaborative environment, we encourage you to apply.

Our team develops advanced mission planning capabilities that help military planners evaluate options, optimize system performance, and make informed decisions in complex operational environments.

Our work spans multiple mission areas—including Ballistic Missile Defense, Air Warfare, Hypersonic Defense, and emerging multi-domain operations—and combines modern software engineering, modeling and simulation, systems engineering, artificial intelligence, and operational analysis to deliver capabilities that support national security.

As an entry-level engineer, you'll work alongside experienced engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and military subject matter experts to solve challenging technical problems.

Depending on your interests and project assignments, you may:

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain software for advanced mission planning and decision-support applications.
• Apply software engineering, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, data analysis, or artificial intelligence techniques to solve complex operational challenges.
• Develop and evaluate algorithms that improve mission planning, resource allocation, and operational effectiveness.
• Build secure software using modern engineering practices, including Dev Sec Ops , automated testing, and containerized development environments.
• Conduct engineering studies that evaluate the capabilities and limitations of current and future defense systems.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to transition research into operational capabilities.
• Learn from experienced mentors while contributing to meaningful projects from your first day.
• Engage with military operators and mission experts to better understand operational challenges and translate user needs into technical solutions.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work on meaningful technical challenges that directly support national defense.
• Learn from nationally recognized engineers, scientists, and technical leaders.
• Apply modern software engineering, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and artificial intelligence technologies.
• Collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines in an inclusive, supportive environment.
• Develop technical depth while building the skills needed for a long-term engineering career.
• Make measurable contributions to operational capabilities used by the U.S. military.
