Many defense roles need a US security clearance, or US citizenship so you can get one. Some companies sponsor the clearance after you join; others want it active on day one. The posting says which. See the security clearance page for roles that mention it.

Expect more on-site and hybrid work than at a software startup: hardware, test, manufacturing and field roles are usually tied to a facility or test range.

Every Apply link goes to the employer's own page. Startup Hiring Index never asks for your résumé.
