About the role
Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is seeking an Advanced Kinetic Weapons Engineer to generate and analyze simulated guided missile data using high-fidelity simulations and statistical tools.
You will evaluate interceptor system performance, validate results against requirements, and present key findings to government sponsors including the U.S. Navy and MDA. This role supports weapon systems engineering and future defense designs in a high-security environment.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
