About This Role

This recruiting job involves owning the hiring requirements for technical and functional roles across hardware, software, and division operations from end-to-end. The Recruiter will source, screen, manage candidates through interviews, close offers, and report performance to stakeholders, operating with autonomy and tooling to build a world-class team. This position suits a high-ownership operator who treats recruiting as a data-driven discipline.

Responsibilities

• Source and manage a high volume of technical candidates, maintaining tight feedback loops with hiring managers and business stakeholders
• Build deep partnerships with engineering leaders, calibrating profiles, shaping talent strategy, and executing against hiring plans
• Own pipeline analytics: track funnel conversion, time-to-fill, source effectiveness, interview-to-offer ratios, and offer-acceptance rates
• Surface insights weekly to hiring managers and recruiting leadership
• Translate data into action: diagnose bottlenecks, recommend interventions, and report results to stakeholders in a format they can act on
• Develop a deep understanding of the mission and the technology to pitch the opportunity credibly and close exceptional defense-tech talent
• Build long-range recruiting strategies grounded in pipeline data, including referral programs, sourcing channel optimization, and process automation
• Act as a subject matter expert in sourcing techniques and tools (Boolean, LinkedIn Recruiter, SOBO campaigns, web scraping, data extraction, and candidate management workflows)
• Conduct screens and interviews with a high signal-to-noise ratio, demonstrated by strong interview-to-offer conversion
• Drive diverse talent into the organization and deliver a positive candidate experience through proactive, transparent communication
• Do whatever it takes to deliver for teammates and stakeholders

Requirements

• 5+ years sourcing and closing technical roles in defense technology, with direct experience recruiting robotics talent (mechanical design, structures/composites, propulsion, thermal systems, electrical, controls, autonomy, or embedded software)
• Demonstrated ability to use pipeline and performance data to drive decisions (funnel analysis, conversion benchmarking, source ROI) and to report those insights to hiring managers and senior stakeholders
• Multiple years managing hiring-manager relationships: profile calibration, weekly pipeline reviews, and data-backed recommendations on strategy and prioritization
• Strong working understanding of the technical skills required for hardware and software engineering roles in a robotics or aerospace context
• Experience managing multiple concurrent funnels and keeping candidates moving through the process without drop-off
