Transitioning Military & Veterans

We want you to advance your career beyond your active service.

The knowledge and experience of our veterans and reservists have helped to shape Leonardo DRS into one of the leading defense contractors in the world. If you are ready for us to translate your military skills and experience into a new way to serve, search our jobs today.

Skillbridge Program

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging. Skillbridge is a DoD program designed to help with this transitional period. Leonardo DRS offers Skillbridge opportunities to military service members during their last 180 days of service, so they can gain valuable civilian work experience through vetted industry training, apprenticeships, and internships. Leonardo DRS also considers those in the Skillbridge program for full time positions. For more information on this program and how to participate in it, please visit: skillbridge.osd.mil.

Veteran Workforce

We honor our military and consider ourselves fortunate to have so many veterans in our workforce.

At Leonardo DRS our veterans and reservists have been vital members of the DRS team since our inception in 1969 – they are important to our success. In 2020, we were recognized as a ‘Best for Vets’ employer by Military Times. We proudly employ veterans, whose skills and experience have helped shape us into a leading defense contractor.

“Our veterans embody a tradition of service and set the example for all of us to model here at DRS. We are especially proud of our fellow workmates who are veterans. Whether in business development, on the manufacturing line, engineering innovative solutions to protect their successors on the battlefield, or supporting our warfighters in some other way, they give it their very best on the job.”
—Bill Lynn CEO

Veteran Employer awards

Best for Vets

Leonardo DRS is proud to announce that we have once again, made the Military Times Best for Vets: Employers List.

Best for Vets is a sought-after distinction in which the Military Times publication recognizes organizations for their programs and policies that support veterans’ post-military careers.

This is an important designation for us because it lets us know we are doing the right thing to attract and keep the valuable talent that veterans bring to this company.

We encourage everyone to take a moment from their day and reach out and thank these heroes for what they have done to contribute to our freedom and prosperity.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
