OUR PEOPLE
We are passionate about the unique and highly skilled people at the heart of our organization. They enable us to be the innovative leader and provider of choice in the defense industry. Our people bring curiosity, discipline, and pride to everything they do. They understand their work has real impact beyond the walls of our facilities and contributes directly to critical missions around the world.
We have a strong sense of purpose. We feel a genuine connection to our colleagues and to the work we do every day. We also feel an even deeper connection to the Soldiers we are helping to keep safe. Most important, we are tenacious. We have the freedom to create our own paths and take meaningful responsibility for our work. We are encouraged to think independently, solve complex problems, and continuously improve.
We are empowered to grow, to challenge ourselves, and to develop new skills. We are supported through mentorship, collaboration, and opportunity as we work toward reaching our full potential together.
ABRAMS PROGRAM
What I love most about working at Land Systems is that I have been given the opportunity to move around to different roles and leadership levels, which has grown my skills and expanded my knowledge.
HUMAN RESOURCES
I joined the GDLS family because I have passion for innovation, change and to lead and protect the world we live in. What I like most about working here is the work-life balance. The culture is welcoming and dedicated to designing, producing and servicing the very best products.
I believe in making an impact every day! Being part of this company means I am an innovator and I get to make a difference for our customers and community.
ENGINEERING
I am a Veteran of the U.S. Army 82d Airborne Division and did two tours of duty in support of the Global War on Terror. I joined GDLS because I wanted to be able to support the military in other capacities. Now, I can help Soldiers feel safe.
I like working at GDLS because my work is constantly changing. There is always room to grow and learn new things. I also love the people I work alongside. Everyone here cares about what we are doing and understands the need for quality. It is very much a team effort.
INTERNSHIPS
Our internships offer a unique opportunity to join our innovative team and experience the GDLS impact first-hand. Our internships span from summer opportunities to yearlong positions, which often result in full-time employment after graduation.
We hire across many disciplines, including computer science, engineering, math, physics, information systems and technology, security, finance, human resources and marketing. Browse our many job openings to see whether your skills match our position qualifications.
Transitioning Military
There is a profound connection between our workforce and the Soldiers who use what we manufacture. A large segment of our employee population has served in the military or is serving in a reserve capacity. Their connection to their work is rooted in pride for the armed forces. What we do is personal. We know exactly who we work for: the people of the U.S. Armed Forces and those of our allies.
We encourage Veterans to join our team and begin a meaningful and exciting career at GDLS. If you have served, your experience is invaluable. The skills you gained from your service are transferrable. Using your first-hand knowledge to improve our products and services can make a meaningful impact.
Taking care of the Communities in Which We Live, Work and Play.
Giving back to the communities in which we live, work and play is extremely important for us. We make a difference in our communities through contributions to health care, arts and culture and charitable organizations. Apart from our donations and sponsorships as an organization, our employees give their time and resources to local organizations such as the United Way.
We understand that the economic, social and environmental choices we make affect the lives of our customers, shareholders, colleagues and communities. That is why we operate our business ethically and according to the principles of honesty, transparency and accountability.
LIFE AT GDLS
Our culture is rooted in our ethos: honesty, transparency, alignment and trust. It is the foundation for all we do. With our ethos at the forefront, we empower you to be the best version of yourself.
