Nuclear Weapon System Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

NC3 Enterprise and Nuclear Systems Integration Engineer

The Opportunity:

You understand the critical role NC3 plays in U.S. strategic deterrence and national security. You recognize the complexity and absolute precision required when engineering systems tied to nuclear weapon operations, survivable communications, force direction, and time critical decision support.

We're seeking a systems engineer with hands-on NC3 experience to help modernize, integrate, and secure the next generation of nuclear enterprise systems. You will shape resilient architectures, ensure compliance with nuclear surety and certification requirements, support nuclear weapon system interfaces, and drive the modernization of strategic command, control, and communication capabilities across the DoD. You will also ensure systems meet EMP or HEMP survivability requirements and operate within secure, accredited facilities.

Join our team and help deliver the future of survivable, secure, and interoperable NC3 capabilities.

What You'll Work On:

• Lead engineering, integration, and analysis across NC3 system of systems environments, including force direction, decision support, survivable communications, and nuclear weapon system interfaces.
• Support full lifecycle systems engineering, including requirements development, architecture design, integration planning, verification or validation, fielding, and sustainment.
• Develop and maintain enterprise, functional, and solution architectures aligned with NC3 guidance, Joint Staff requirements, and the DoDAF.
• Apply MBSE to model operational and technical mission threads, nuclear timelines, survivability requirements, and system interactions within nuclear command and control (C2) environments.
• Use MBSE tools such as SysML, Cameo, and MagicDraw.
• Support integration with nuclear weapon systems, including data links, message formats, timing requirements, and safety or surety-related constraints.
• Participate in DevSecOps pipelines supporting NC3 modernization, including secure development practices, automated testing, and cyber resilient deployment architectures.
• Conduct cybersecurity, survivability, and resilience assessments across contested, degraded, or nuclear effects environments.
• Ensure compliance with RMF, ATO/IATT, eMASS, and relevant cybersecurity standards.
• Support RMF, cross domain solution accreditation, nuclear surety compliance, and eMASS documentation for NC3 and nuclear-related systems.
• Perform systems analysis of nuclear enterprise data flows, authoritative data sources, and interoperability requirements across strategic forces.
• Contribute to configuration management, engineering review boards, technical baseline management, and NC3 modernization decision forums.
• Support EMP or HEMP hardening and testing per MIL-STD-188-125 and MIL-STD-4023.
• Document system designs, interfaces, and technical data using MBSE models, engineering drawings, and technical manuals.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

• Experience supporting NC3 systems, nuclear weapon system interfaces, or strategic deterrence mission sets
• Experience engineering complex, highly secure, and highly-regulated systems in cloud, hybrid, or specialized enclave environments
• Experience with nuclear C2 operations, force direction messaging, timing requirements, and survivability considerations
• Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, and Infrastructure-as-Code in secure environments
• Experience with EMP or HEMP hardening, secure facility operations, and compliance with MIL-STD-188-125, MIL-STD-4023, ICD-705, and NISPOM
• Ability to support RMF, cybersecurity engineering, cross domain solutions, and nuclear certification or surety processes
• Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree

Nice If You Have:

• Experience supporting Air Force, STRATCOM, or NC3 modernization programs
• Experience with nuclear weapon system messaging formats, PAL considerations, SAASM or Type 1 crypto, or specialized NC3 communication types
• Experience with mobile power generation, HVAC, water purification, secure communications, and CSfC solutions
• Experience with C3BM, ABMS, or DAF Battle Network concepts to ensure NC3 alignment with broader enterprise C2 architectures and missionthread integration
• Knowledge of Zero Trust architectures and identity management in nuclear or special access environments
• TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, CS, or a related field
• Systems Engineering, Cybersecurity, Cloud, or MBSE Certifications such as INCOSE, Security+, CISSP, AWS, Azure, SAFe, SysML, Cameo, or MagicDraw Certification

Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
