The Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) is currently seeking talented candidates for a Proposal & BD Coordinator at our Silver Springs, NV location.

Our extensive database of worldwide operational and infrastructure conditions enables us to accurately define user duty cycles and develop test programs that closely replicate real-world service environments. NATC is recognized as an industry leader in transforming real-world conditions into validated virtual proving ground simulations and advanced virtual prototyping solutions.

Located in the Great Basin of Nevada, NATC offers access to terrain that represents approximately 85% of the world's environmental conditions within a 150-mile radius. Our operational footprint includes more than 1,200 square miles of natural terrain and 6,200 acres of privately owned test facilities, creating an unparalleled environment for vehicle testing, engineering innovation, and problem-solving. This unique capability allows our team to deliver exceptional solutions to customers across a wide range of industries.

The coordinator will manage proposal workflows, monitor solicitation trends, maintain proposal and contract data, and support business intelligence efforts to align NATC's services with evolving customer needs and market demands. This position requires strong analytical skills, proposal writing experience, and an understanding of government contracting processes.

This is a hybrid position with the option for full remote work, depending on qualifications and business needs.

  • Coordinate website inquiries and direct customer opportunities to appropriate internal teams.
  • Support event planning, trade shows, customer visits, and strategic outreach efforts as needed.
