Conditions

This is an onsite role at 401 Jan Davis Dr NW, Huntsville, AL, where you will work mainly on site.

You are responsible for your own commute to and from the site.

You may be asked to attend some interview steps in person, whatever the role type.

This is a U.S.-based role. If you live in a U.S. territory, the pay structure and benefits for that territory apply.

You must be a U.S. citizen, because only citizens can hold a security clearance.

You need an active, transferable U.S. government security clearance before your start date, specifically a DoD Secret clearance. It must be active and in place on day 1.

The application window is expected to close about 40 days after the posting date, but the company may close it earlier or extend it based on candidate volume and business need.

Exact benefits depend on the business unit and whether a collective-bargaining agreement applies.
• You may be eligible for annual short-term or long-term incentive pay, depending on your level and whether a collective-bargaining agreement applies. These payments are not guaranteed and depend on individual, business unit, and company performance.
• Relocation assistance may be available.
