About the role

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is seeking engineers and scientists to tackle defense challenges in aerospace systems. You will apply physics-based modeling and data-driven methods to simulate missile performance, analyze diverse systems, and connect analytical work to real-world engineering problems. Candidates bring degrees in relevant fields and strong programming experience (MATLAB, Python, C/C++, Java, Rust) with a clear ability to communicate results.

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.
