Defense MicroElectronics Activity (DMEA)

A Department of Defense (DoD) field activity that has been operating since 1997. Small and engineer-centric. ~90% are engineer/scientist. Provide solutions to other US Government agencies and allies. Some tasks are engineering brand-new products and some tasks are re-engineering devices to keep legacy systems running. We do not compete with private industry but regularly work side-by-side with industry to get stuff done. We also have the only semiconductor foundry still operational within the federal government. US Government agencies sometimes want products built that are so technologically risky or low-volume that private industry does not want to do them. We fill the gap. Sacramento, CA -- California's fourth largest metro area. Home to two major state universities (CSU-Sacramento and UC-Davis). The farm-to-fork, and regular, capital of California. We are federal employees and receive federal benefits (google "opm benefits" for more info). Time off starts at 36 days/year (13 vacation + 13 sick + 10 federal holidays) and grows to 49 days/year over time (26 + 13 + 10). We have flexible schedules and most of us work a "9-to-5.” Hiring is for GS-13 engineers (google “gs pay scale 2024” and look at the Sacramento locality). Must be a US citizen. Must be able to achieve and maintain a security clearance. 2 x Phone call [1 hr] >> Onsite w/team [full day] Apply: Send your resume to hn@dmea.osd.mil (please DO NOT contact if you are a recruiter)
