Job description

Description

Jaxon is looking for a Systems Engineer to join our team in Colorado Springs, CO.

Jaxon is the leading full-service provider of High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) services worldwide, delivering world-class engineering, testing, construction, and sustainment services. Jaxon offers an outstanding benefits package, competitive pay, and a culture that is unmatched. We collaborate and thrive on our core value of ownership. In both success and failure, we push to get better individually and as a team.

Salary: $75,000-95,000 annually

Schedule: Full-Time

Travel Requirement: While this role is primarily a position located in Colorado Springs, System Engineers should be prepared to travel as needed. Travel expenses are paid by the company.

Security Clearance Requirement: This role requires the ability and willingness to obtain a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret Clearance or higher. An active DoD secret clearance is highly desired.

Benefits

• Life insurance at 2.5 times annual base salary provided
• Excellent medical, dental and vision insurance
• Short- and long-term disability insurance provided
• PTO and paid holidays
• 401(k) match (up to 4% of salary)

The Jaxon Experience

• Jaxon Kitchen Fridays, our once-a-month tradition where the team gathers for good food, good company, and a chance to unwind the work week together.
• Annual Golf Tournament that brings out everyone’s competitive spirit; pros, rookies, and “I’m just here for the cart snacks” people alike.
• A Christmas Event Like No Other, legendary for a reason; traditions, surprises and the kind of magic only Jaxon can pull off. AND a Kids’ Christmas Celebration that brings out the joy, the crafts, and the wide-eyed wonder of the season.
• Super Bowl Party because friendly rivalry, good food, and loud cheering are practically part of our job description. And of course, the day after the super bowl is a company paid holiday, because we believe in recovery, rest, and reliving the best plays and commercials.

All the good times we talk about are here to build connection, not obligations. Participation is always optional, because ownership includes owning your time and your comfort level. Nothing in this section is meant to create a contractual benefit, just a glimpse into the way we show up for each other and make Jaxon more than a place to work!
