With more than 1,700+ team members, 1,500+ AI & data experts, and 100+ prime contracts, we deliver on a scale and with purpose.
We've been recognized as a Top Workplace by The Washington Post for six consecutive years and named to the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in 13 of the past 14 years. Credence is a welcoming environment for those looking to grow and make a meaningful impact. We encourage employees to push boundaries and help solve critical, world-changing federal challenges.
Position Summary
Credence has an immediate opening for a Flight Test and Evaluation Manager at the principal level who will be primarily responsible for supporting the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center WAM (AFLCMC/WAM) directorate, F-16 division at Wright Patterson AFB, OH.
