What Your Job Will Be Like

Our products support national security. Our hardware must work when it matters. Our engineers help deliver high-consequence electrical and electronic systems that provide confidence in some of the nation's most important missions.

We are seeking experienced R&D Electronics Engineers to design, develop, qualify, deploy, and sustain advanced electrical and electronic systems for nuclear deterrence programs. This is hands‑on, mission‑connected engineering across the full product lifecycle from early concepts and requirements definition through design, integration, testing, qualification, production support, and fielded‑system sustainment.

We are hiring across multiple departments and selected candidates may support a broad range of mission‑focused technical areas, including telemetry systems, handling and test gear, gas transfer systems, use‑control systems, situational awareness technologies, high‑assurance electronic products, embedded digital and analog electronics, experience designing printed wiring boards (PWBs), printed circuit boards (PCBs) and related assemblies, weapon subsystem electronics, test systems, legacy product support, and anomaly resolution.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams that may include electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, systems, test, production, quality, and program partners. This role offers the opportunity to build technical depth while seeing your work become real hardware that supports real national security missions.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

• Design, analyze, test, and troubleshoot analog, digital, mixed‑signal, FPGA, ASIC, microcontroller‑based, or embedded electronic systems.
• Develop schematics, support printed wiring board / printed circuit board layouts,
