About the role

In-Q-Tel's Technology Architecture Group is seeking an Engineer to join a multidisciplinary team addressing national security problems. You'll design and build prototypes and provide hands-on systems engineering support to IQT’s portfolio of startup companies adapting commercial tech for government use. We use a hands-on, rapid-prototyping approach with open-source software/hardware. You will work across hardware and software in all project phases, from concept to customer engagement, including #J-18808-Ljbffr

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.
