About Us

Pacific Defense develops advanced RF and electronics systems for the U.S. Department of Defense and commercial customers. Specializing in Open Systems Architecture solutions for electromagnetic spectrum warfare, we deliver modular, rapidly reconfigurable systems in less than half the time of traditional contractors. Our expertise spans Radar, EW, SIGINT, and Communications, combined with a go-fast execution model leveraging Open Standards like SOSA, CMOSS, and MORA. With facilities across the country and a diverse team, we drive innovation in signal processing, algorithm development, cognitive systems, and systems integration. Join us to advance your career and tackle national defense challenges.

We are seeking a PNT Senior Systems Engineer to advance Pacific Defense’s Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies and capabilities.

Pacific Defense has multiple active Assured PNT Programs that require execution leadership from requirements development through hands-on testing. This position is ideal for the person who is equally comfortable with writing requirements or driving test equipment.

Pacific Defense is a small company where decisions can be made quickly and the typical large company barriers to execution don’t exist. Although this job is focused on Assured PNT technologies, if you have experience with Communications, SIGINT, Electronic Warfare and/or Integrated Systems, Pacific Defense we’d like to hear about it. Pacific Defense has many opportunities within the company for multi-domain expertise and growth.

Responsibilities
