Manufacturing Engineering Technician
About The Position
NCS has been providing product-based IT solutions to Federal and military customers since our inception in 1996. These solutions center on a wide range of hardware from end user devices, to rugged mobile computers for field operations, and networking, compute, and storage equipment for integration into military platforms. Over the years, NCS built up a substantial integration, manufacturing, quality, and logistics infrastructure. At the same time, we also developed and refined robust business practices to compete effectively in the markets that we focus on; e.g., Federal civilian agencies, all three branches of the military, and the System Integrator community serving them. We recently moved into a new, state of the art 108,000 square foot facility in Innovation Park @ Prince William, Manassas, Virginia. This facility magnifies the strengths that we have gathered over the years to position us well for future growth and diversification which have been defined in our Go-To Market strategy. This strategy centers on IT product-based services formulated into a number of solutions targeted at different addressable markets and charts our development trajectory for the next five years.
