Defense contractor providing engineering and program management to Navy and DoD
Amelex is a woman-owned defense engineering firm serving Navy and DoD customers since 1987, operating across three core service lines: engineering, program management, and IT support. The tech stack is Microsoft-centric (Office 365, Power Platform, Teams, SharePoint, Jira, Confluence) paired with backend languages (C, C++, Java, Ada, SQL Server) — a typical posture for defense contractors managing classified workflows and legacy system integration. Hiring is heavily weighted toward senior engineering roles (10 of 11 open positions), with active work on budget planning systems, network infrastructure, and Foreign Military Sales processes.
Amelex is a 201–500 person privately held company headquartered in California, Maryland with field offices in Crystal City, Virginia and Charleston, South Carolina. Founded in 1982 as a Navy engineering support vendor, the firm evolved into a full-service defense contractor offering program management, systems engineering, IT support, and acquisition support. Customers are primarily DoD and Navy organizations; operations also span commercial clients. The company is woman-owned (since 2003) and holds a track record in classified program delivery, budget planning, and Foreign Military Sales logistics.
