This passion for quality carries through to the technologies we invent and manufacture, the laboratories, and facilities we build, the people we hire, and the communities we support.

At SRC, we provide you the freedom and the resources to solve "impossible" problems in a collaborative work environment that integrates research, development, and manufacturing. We strive to proactively identify and eliminate barriers that prevent our employees' full participation and are committed to ensuring an inclusive and equitable workplace for all our employees. When you join our team, you'll be a part of something truly meaningful. You'll join more than 1,300 engineers, scientists, and professionals - with 20 percent of those employees having served in the military - helping to keep America and its allies safe and strong.

In return, you'll enjoy an inclusive work environment, receive a competitive salary, and experience a comprehensive benefits package that includes four or more weeks of paid time off to start, 10 percent of an employee's compensation contributed toward retirement, and 100 percent tuition support.
