  • Experience writing requirements verification matrices, factory inspection and test plans, or field acceptance test procedures; witnessing them; releasing designs to fabrication; and reviewing vendor submittals and shop drawings.
  • Experience with load flow, short-circuit, or power-system simulation software such as SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower, and with microgrids, renewable integration, or energy-resilience design for military installations.
  • Experience communicating technical designs and concepts to a non-technical audience.
  • Master's degree in Engineering or a related field.

About the Company

Booz Allen

Builds AI and cyber systems for the US government

Booz Allen builds and runs technology for the U.S. government, mostly for the military and intelligence agencies, and its engineers work alongside consultants who know each agency's mission. In 1958, it helped the U.S. Navy create PERT, a project-scheduling method first used on the Polaris submarine missile program and later adopted across government and industry. Its teams design cyber defenses, AI and data tools, and battlefield communications, and it sells its own products, such as Vellox, a suite of AI tools that spot and fight off hackers. Agencies pay mainly through multi-year contracts that reimburse costs, bill hours, or set a fixed price. Booz Allen was founded in 1914 and is based in McLean, Virginia.
