What You Will Do

The National Security Research Center Mission Support (NSRCMS) Group in the Weapons Research Services Division (WRS-DO) is looking for a Data Concierge (Technical Project Manager 2) to join our team.

Your work will enable our team to develop, populate, and maintain the data collections necessary for national security applications.
