Defense systems engineering for DoD strategic weapons and cybersecurity
JRC Integrated Systems is a systems engineering firm serving the Department of Defense with deep expertise in FPGA design (Xilinx, Altera, Lattice toolchains), embedded systems (VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog), and mission-critical security architecture. The hiring mix skews heavily toward senior engineers (19 of 35 open roles) in specialized domains—fleet ballistic missiles, hypersonics, fire control systems—indicating sustained demand for domain expertise rather than headcount scaling. Active work on cybersecurity integrity across the SDLC and strategic weapons modernization reflects a shift toward digital-first compliance in highly regulated programs.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Critical Parts Lead
JRC Integrated Systems provides systems engineering and technical consulting to the Department of Defense and U.S. government agencies, with a focus on strategic weapons systems, hypersonics, and mission-critical cyber defense. Founded in 2003 and based in Washington, DC, the firm operates across the full lifecycle of complex defense programs: from security architecture reviews and authorization-to-operate support to model-based systems engineering (MBSE) digital thread management and fleet modernization. The company handles end-to-end technical risk management, compliance frameworks (DoI 5000.88, DO standards), and cyber roadmap development for weapons systems ashore and strategic programs.
