Senior Systems Engineers

Nerd UpMount Laurel, NJ
Onsite

About The Position

We're Nerd Up. We've been making unusually good matches between smart engineers and teams that deserve them for over 25 years. We're hiring a handful of senior systems engineers to join a long-tenured team embedded at a major defense prime's facility in Moorestown, NJ, supporting Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense programs. The kind of work that matters. The kind of program that doesn't end. These are not management roles. Not "lead" roles. Not roles where you spend your week in strategy offsites and your Friday writing status reports about status reports. These are roles for engineers who still like engineering. Our client is a specialized engineering firm that has been partnered with this customer since 2007 and specifically supporting the Aegis Combat System since 2015. In 18 years, in tumultuous economies, they've also not had a layoff due to lost work, across all their work locations on the East Coast. That's not a line. That's a data point. Their Mount Lauren team has some of the lowest turnover in the company -- not because people can't leave, but because most of them don't want to. There's something to be said for a place that has earned that.
