Computational Engineer (Electromagnetics)

Company Overview

Metrea delivers effects-as-a-service to national security partners across five domains and more than a dozen mission areas. These include airborne ISR electronic warfare secure communications aerial refueling special air missions aerial firefighting and advanced simulation. We own the whole stack: designing building and operating turnkey capabilities that give our partners decisive asymmetric advantage against rapidly evolving threats.

Our operating model is built around three interlocking pillars. The Support Groups provide a global shared-service spanning people finance platform operations legal and engagement. This frees up our Core Groups who develop and own mission capabilities end-to-end to focus entirely on delivery. The Market Groups apply a regional lens ensuring that our agile and adaptable capabilities remain aligned to the wicked problems that matter most to our partners across the Americas EMEA and Asia-Pacific.

At the heart of our model is a simple but powerful idea: be a true partner with skin in the game. Our partners need effects not just equipment. By owning the full stack from the lab to the field we are able to drive a continuous cycle of innovation that keeps our partners ahead. Its a fast-moving intellectually demanding environment where talented people are given real responsibility work on problems that matter and contribute to an enterprise that is growing quickly and deliberately.

Headquartered in Washington DC with facilities across the United States the United Kingdom as well as Continental Europe and Asia-Pacific.
