Aerospace and defense contractor building command, control, and ISR systems
Sierra Nevada Corporation is a mid-tier, privately held defense and aerospace manufacturer with 1,001–5,000 employees headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. The tech stack—VMware, AWS, Azure, ServiceNow, MATLAB, STAR-CCM+—reflects a hybrid cloud and simulation-heavy engineering operation supporting aerospace platforms and C4ISR systems. Hiring is accelerating with 124 roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily skewed toward senior engineers (81 of 158 open positions), signaling either aggressive program scaling or leadership depth-building in technical execution—a pattern consistent with their stated pain points around modernization, integration timelines, and supply chain complexity.
Notable leadership hires: Program Director, Subcontracts Lead, Workday Technical Lead, Operations Director, Director Accounting
SNC designs and manufactures aerospace platforms, command-and-control systems, intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR) payloads, and cyber defense solutions for U.S. defense and national security customers. The company was founded in 1963 and remains privately owned. Active projects include next-generation SAOC (Special Operations Air Command) aircraft modernization, supply chain management planning, and internal process automation in ServiceNow. The engineering organization runs on a mix of commercial cloud (AWS, Azure) and specialized simulation tools (MATLAB, STAR-CCM+, CFD++), with strong emphasis on NIST cybersecurity and ITIL governance frameworks. Notable internal initiatives address audit gaps, supply chain resilience, and automation of repetitive controls and attestation workflows.
SNC uses VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, Python, PowerShell, ServiceNow, MATLAB, STAR-CCM+, and specialized aerospace tools like PRTG Network Monitor, SolarWinds, Garmin, and Honeywell systems. They employ NIST cybersecurity frameworks and ITIL governance.
SNC is headquartered in Sparks, Nevada, and all hiring is currently focused in the United States.
