Space and Defense Staffing in Colorado Springs
Cleared engineers and analysts for Front Range space and missile-defense programs.
Colorado Springs is the centre of gravity for military space and missile defense, and the work reflects it: ground systems, command and control, modelling and analysis, much of it requiring an active clearance before a candidate can be considered at all. We screen for that first, because a perfect résumé without the clearance is not a candidate for these roles.
