About the role

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is seeking aerospace and thermal engineers to tackle defense-related challenges. Join a multidisciplinary team working on hypersonic thermal design, rocket motor systems, and advanced propulsion with strong emphasis on modeling and testing. Qualified candidates hold a PhD in a related field, possess excellent communication skills, and can work independently or in teams.

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.
