Tactical optics and networked systems for defense and law enforcement
Wilcox manufactures advanced optical and networked systems for military and law enforcement customers, with a tech stack emphasizing embedded systems (ARM, multi-processor firmware) and optical design tools (Zemax, SolidWorks). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy (10 of 12 open roles) and skewed toward senior and staff levels, reflecting both active firmware development and the compliance demands of defense manufacturing — a profile consistent with modernizing electro-optics platforms while managing strict export and safety regulations.
