Talent Acquisition & Human Resources Coordinator

Intellisense Systems, Inc. is a privately held company with a proven track record of developing and deploying innovative products that successfully operate in the most extreme environments. We are a fast‑growing Southern California technology innovator that solves tough, mission‑critical challenges for our customers in the aerospace, defense, and commercial markets. We design, develop, and manufacture advanced products for ground, maritime, and airborne applications.

We are seeking a high‑energy, detail‑oriented Talent Acquisition & HR Coordinator to join our dynamic team. This is a unique dual‑function role designed for a candidate looking to launch a career in both recruiting and human resources. You will be a "full‑cycle" contributor: sourcing your own candidates, managing agency partnerships, and identifying administrative bottlenecks within our HR department. If you are a natural "fixer" who loves people and processes, this is the perfect place to grow.

This critical, hands‑on role is based in Torrance, CA, and is not a hybrid or remote position. We offer a fast‑paced, high‑impact and stimulating work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development. Veterans welcome!
