The Laboratory seeks the best scientific and technical talent. With our focus on solving complex, multidisciplinary problems for the Government, APL looks for people with certain characteristics beyond intelligence and educational achievement.
People looking for a challenge are well suited to our environment.
Staff members must be able to recognize problems and take on the challenge of finding solutions without necessarily being directed to do so. APL prizes leadership and dedication as personal attributes. Integrity, honesty, and communication are highly valued characteristics on our teams. Developing extensive knowledge of the operational environments in which our sponsors or customers work is essential. We build prototypes in our own facilities, and we take equipment to the environment where it has to operate to test it.
