About the job

SciTec, a Firefly Aerospace Company, is a dynamic non-traditional defense contractor that delivers advanced technologies in support of U.S. National Security and Defense.

Are you skilled in business operations, accounting, or coordinating projects? Does artificial intelligence, machine learning, image processing, or embedded signal processing interest you?

SciTec is a dynamic and fast-growing company that is disrupting the staid industrial R&D base with agile, multi-disciplinary, and outcome-focused teams. Are you ready to join?
