— Careers

Brilliance matters. Judgment matters more.

We recruit scientists, engineers, operators, mission planners, cybersecurity specialists, biomedical researchers, and systems architects who are comfortable working past the edge of settled knowledge — and comfortable not talking about it.

Most of our people stay for decades. That is the point.

Every role, listed.

This is the complete public list. Many positions are never posted — cleared roles are filled by referral and direct approach. Most candidates begin with a written exchange before any call; we would rather not waste your time.

— Hiring process

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. Step 01

    Written exchange

    You apply with a short cover note and CV. A hiring partner replies in writing within ten business days — including when the answer is no.

  2. Step 02

    Conversation

    A call with the hiring manager. We ask what you have actually built. Bring artifacts, not anecdotes.

  3. Step 03

    Working session

    Half a day with the team you would join. Paid. Usually on site, occasionally remote for cleared roles. Real problems, not riddles.

  4. Step 04

    Decision & offer

    A written decision follows within five business days. Offers set out review cadence and progression in writing before you accept.

— What we offer

Long careers. Real instruments.

OmniNova has carried people through multi-decade careers since 1924. That continuity shapes how we train, protect, and keep the people who do the work.

Terms

Benchmarked against the relevant deep-tech market and reviewed on a published cadence. Everything is set out in writing before you accept, and nothing material changes after.

Health & family

Worldwide medical, dental, vision, and mental-health coverage for you and your dependents. Extended paid parental leave, regardless of role or path to parenthood.

Learning

A self-directed annual allowance requiring no approval — conferences, formal study, or sabbatical research. Convertible into time rather than spend.

Internal mobility

Most senior roles are filled from within. Cross-division rotations are paid, encouraged, and read as a career signal rather than a detour.

Security & vetting

We sponsor clearance work and carry its cost. Cleared roles include secure-transport access and structured decompression time.

Retirement & care

Employer pension contributions vest at year five. Lifetime healthcare access for long-tenured alumni — a policy in place since 1957 and never withdrawn.

— A note on access

How we hire matters as much as who.

Given the nature of the work, all candidates undergo comprehensive vetting, and some role detail is disclosed only after clearance. OmniNova Global is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity across borders, domains, and generations. Reasonable accommodation is available at any stage; write to careers@omninova.global to arrange it. We do not use unverified third-party recruiters, and we never ask a candidate for a fee.
