Junior Software Engineer

Are you ready to launch your career at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and national security? At General Dynamics Mission Systems, our Junior Software Engineers don’t just write code; they build the mission-critical solutions that protect our nation and empower our warfighters. We are looking for a passionate, forward-thinking technologist to join our team, where you will tackle complex engineering challenges, collaborate with industry-leading experts, and see your work come to life in real-world applications that truly matter. If you are driven by curiosity and a desire to solve the puzzles that define the future of defense, this is the environment where you will thrive.

To qualify for this pivotal role, you should hold a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or a related STEM field with at least two years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree with six months of experience. Because our work supports the most vital interests of the U.S. government, a Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at the time of hire, and you must be eligible to maintain access to classified information. If you have the technical foundation and the integrity to handle high-stakes responsibilities, we invite you to apply and become part of a mission-focused culture that values innovation, professional growth, and the pursuit of excellence above all else.
