A&D hiring is governed by clearance, ITAR, and programs where failure isn't an option. We place cleared and clearable engineering and program talent at primes, integrators, and defense-tech firms. WOSB-certified, CAGE-coded, SAM-registered.
Four shifts are reshaping aerospace and defense hiring right now. They're tied to the convergence of traditional primes with defense-tech entrants, the maturation of space as a commercial sector, and the ongoing operational demands of mission-critical engineering.
For defense primes carrying mandatory small-business subcontracting goals under FAR Part 19, Thunderhawk is a credentialed counter-party that delivers at scorecard pace. WOSB-certified (#WOSB260585). CAGE-coded. SAM-registered. NAICS 561311, 541611, 541612, 561320. We slot into the small-business sub-tier under Tier 1 discipline.
A defense systems integrator needed cleared engineering talent across multiple disciplines without delays. We delivered.
Cross-discipline placements across aerospace engineering, embedded software, and systems engineering, calibrated to the clearance and ITAR requirements of each role within the program.
