Calling All WGU Night Owls: Launch Your Career with a Mission That Matters

A major aerospace and defense contractor has recently secured a $105 million contract supporting the GPS Ground Control System (GCS), a mission-critical program that will help sustain and modernize the technology that powers next-generation GPS capabilities through 2032.
Now, they're looking for talented professionals to help make it happen.
Nearly 100 Positions Available
This is your chance to get in at the beginning of a long-term, high-impact mission supporting technology that millions rely on every day. Opportunities span a variety of disciplines, including:
- Cybersecurity
- Information Technology
- Software Development

- Technical Operations
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Most students don't get the opportunity to join a large-scale government technology program during its growth phase.
With this program, you'll have the chance to:
- Gain experience on a mission with national significance
- Work alongside industry-leading professionals
- Build skills on cutting-edge technologies
- Join a program expected to continue through 2032
