Program launches, challenges, commercial transition activities – DARPA’s work pushes the edge of the possible.
To make it happen, our program managers need highly skilled support contractors, broadly referred to as SETAs (Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance) within DARPA. Often spanning programs, portfolios, and even offices in their impact, support contractors help program managers chart and navigate the path toward groundbreaking discoveries.
Enable the Impossible
Support contractor professionals are part of the DARPA team and are indispensable partners to the Government, contributing to the trajectory of ambitious research efforts from conceptualization to execution. Our contract partners recruit exceptional professionals with critical expertise who are deeply curious, intellectually agile, and committed to advancing DARPA’s mission.
From financial analysts and contract specialists to scientists and subject matter experts in the most groundbreaking technology, there could be a role for you at DARPA.
