Are you passionate about developing resilient and robust nuclear command and communications concepts into effective solutions to defend our nation against global threats? Are you eager to seek and build operational solutions for National Defense challenges using innovative technologies? If you are graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or other related technical degree and want to develop innovative solutions for strategic communications, we'd love to have you join our team! The Nuclear Command Communications Systems Group (QKR) is a broad group of talented RF communications, systems engineers, computer scientists, systems analysts, data analysts, mathematicians, physicists and technical leaders. We apply innovative solutions to real-world National Defense challenges, leverage analytical proficiencies to collect and characterize real-world Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) system performance, and develop, execute, and evaluate stressing system scenarios through robust and sophisticated modeling and simulation. We are seeking dedicated engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and analysts who are motivated to apply acquired skills and knowledge, learn new techniques and processes, and collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team responsible for solving complex problems that are crucial to the defense of our nation.
