Government contractors

Program launches, challenges, commercial transition activities – our work pushes the edge of the possible.

To make it happen, our program managers need highly skilled science, engineering, and technical assistance (SETA). Typically spanning programs, portfolios, and even offices, the people who take on SETA roles are government contractors who help program managers chart and navigate the path toward groundbreaking discoveries. 

Unlike program managers, SETA roles are not tenure limited. As national security priorities and research programs evolve, they maintain the institutional knowledge that is critical to the continued success of our mission.

Find your best fit

We rely on several companies to fill SETA roles within our technical and support offices.
