About the role

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) invites PhD graduates to join our advanced sensor technology team in the Baltimore–DC area. You will work on radar, RF systems, phased arrays, EO/IR, and real-time software within a collaborative environment. This role focuses on design, testing, and development of algorithms and hardware, with opportunities to contribute across APL and sponsor projects in a security-cleared context.

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.
