Missile Defense Agency
8 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is the Department of Defense agency that develops, tests and fields the layered missile defense system that protects the United States, deployed forces and allies from ballistic and other missile threats. It is headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with a large presence at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, and sites in Colorado Springs and elsewhere.
Recent listings have included general engineers, interdisciplinary positions filled as either a general engineer or an operations research analyst, and a program analyst.
Applying tip: MDA positions require a security clearance, and many are in the DoD acquisition demonstration pay system, so expect broad pay bands rather than GS grades in the announcement. Interdisciplinary announcements accept applicants qualified under either named series; state which one you qualify under and the degree or experience behind it. Our engineering guide and clearance guide explain the two conditions that shape nearly every MDA listing.
