Defense and intelligence contractor for modeling, simulation, and cybersecurity
Knight Federal Solutions operates as a systems integrator and cybersecurity provider for DoD and Intelligence Community customers, with deep expertise in constructive modeling and simulation. The tech stack reflects a defense-focused, legacy-heavy environment: Red Hat, Java, C++, AutoCAD, and a mature security/ops toolchain (Splunk, SolarWinds, Ansible, Chef). Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering (majority of roles are senior-level), and active projects cluster around simulation training networks, tactical systems integration, and facilities engineering—work patterns consistent with sustained government contracts rather than rapid product iteration.
