Maxar Technology | DD Piotter
Maxar is a unique company that services technology companies with classified contracts and also technology developed by folks who are curious and explorative. They support U.S. government customers and the public sector around the globe.
Right now, they have a lot of opportunities in Ypsilanti, MI. Several of these postings are available to candidates who do not yet have a clearance, and Maxar can sponsor the cleared process. There are also open positions in Northern Virginia that are focused on modernizing the army which may appeal to transitioning vets. There is always a big need for object-oriented programmers with Java and C++ experience.
DD encourages every candidate to come to the interview with a spectrum of questions, exploring if Maxar is a good fit. If you want to make that exploration, you can connect with DD via LinkedIn.

An Encore Presentation: JCTM | Tom Smith
This episode is a “producer pick” featuring a past informative appearance from Tom Smith.
When talking about his company, Tom describes it as a family of JCTMers. “We rely on one another, expect the best of each other and come together, both professionally and personally, to support each other and the United States.”
At this time, their cleared hiring needs are for Information Ops SMEs and defensive cyber security in the National Capital Region, California and OCONUS. Their focus is finding the right candidate, not just someone who brings the right skills.
