Active security clearance is MUST HAVE

Either active clearance or someone whose clearance can be reactivated/renewed (about 2 year window). NOT someone who is just ‘eligible’

Top Priority Skills:

At least 5 years of experience in Aerospace or Embedded Systems
Engineering Degree – must have (might entertain a Computer Science Degree, but engineering is better)
Nice to haves: Experience with C, Rust, Python, Assembly, understanding safety critical control systems, knowledge of DO standards and military standards, FPGA knowledge would be the pink unicorn
