[quote="anonymous7"]SPAWAR does have software development/programming positions. They are nearly ALL Java though. So if you're a Java developer you're good to go.

I just had an interview with SPAWAR, and they are actively looking for Computer Science people who can program something other than Java/Matlab/R. I was told they are trying to "round out" their programming talent.

Does anyone know if they have any programming work. I am thinking about this site, but I am concerned the work
might be IT networking. Let me know.

I am also interested in SPAWARS. They are located in the San Diego area.

I see they are do procurement for the NAVY, but require a Top Secret SCI.

I am trying to find out if they actually do any software development or math analysis
or is it just management of subcontractors.

If anyone knows ?

I have a personal contact there, and today I will talk on the phone with a SMART scholar who is placed there. Sounds pretty cool so far. Hopefully things will work out, fingers crossed.

Have you tried asking if you can speak to the facility contact?

Google makes it sound like it could have some cool projects.

I may have an opportunity to switch facilities to SPAWAR - Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (Navy). Can anybody tell me anything about it?
