Favorite Parts of Working in Government Contracting as a Lead Systems Engineer
Nicole, a Lead Systems Engineer at a Government Contractor, most enjoys working on "high impact missions" for the Navy that directly affect the war force, and appreciates that the scale of the systems has provided great experience; moreover, bringing innovation to a typically "slower moving" space and focusing on "consumer-focused work" to make experiences better and more intuitive for everyday people is especially rewarding.

What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I've really appreciated the chance to work on high-impact missions. The missions the Navy has really affect real lives out in our war force. The scale of the systems I've supported has given me great experience.
I've learned that what excites me most about solving problems for everyday people is making their experiences better, more intuitive, and more innovative. Getting to bring innovation to a space that is generally slower moving in terms of innovation has been really rewarding. I really love focusing on consumer-focused work as much as I can.
