“Because of this new contract award and additional contracts being fulfilled,” SRC is looking to fill more than 300 positions over the next year in the areas of digital engineering, systems engineering, software engineering, integration/test, field application support and program management, the company said.
“This funding will ensure SRC can continue to produce modern systems to keep the men and women of our military safe, while providing good-paying and highly technical jobs here in Central New York,” U.S. Representative John Katko (R–Camillus) said in the release. “SRC remains a worldwide leader in producing this innovative technology. This award will ensure the company is able to continue its work and help grow our region’s local economy.”
