Aviation & Missile Solutions engineers air and missile defense systems, radar platforms, and uncrewed systems using a deep embedded-systems stack: MATLAB, Simulink, C++, VHDL/Verilog, and Xilinx/Altera FPGA tools. The hiring profile is almost entirely engineering (30 of 34 open roles), weighted toward mid and senior levels, reflecting sustained demand for specialist work in signal processing, firmware, and hardware integration—areas where the company's active projects (threat modeling, detection algorithms, radar simulation, missile seekers) and documented pain points (reverse engineering embedded software, PCB packaging, production integration gaps) indicate ongoing technical depth requirements.
AMS is an employee-owned engineering firm focused on air and missile defense technologies, command and control systems, radar, and uncrewed platforms. Founded in 1999 and based in Huntsville, Alabama, the company operates with over 280 employees across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. Their work spans modeling and simulation, algorithm development, FPGA design, hardware prototyping, and integration of multi-system defense architectures. The Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) project office and active radar technology programs indicate sustained customer relationships in defense and government sectors.
MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C++, VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, Xilinx and Altera FPGAs (Vivado, Zynq UltraScale+), Fortran, Linux, and Windows. CAD/design tools include Altium and MagicDraw; project management via Jira and Microsoft Project.
Core projects include threat system modeling, detection algorithm development, surveillance and fire control radar development, missile seekers and sensors, hardware/software/firmware prototyping, the Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) project office, and radar analysis and simulation.
