STEM Careers at the Department of War
The Department of War (DoW) provides opportunities for students, parents, educators, and its workforce to use creativity and skills to accelerate innovation in leading-edge technologies.
Discovery & Innovation at DoW
The DoW cultivates a collaborative environment where its workforce leads the DoW's modernization efforts in advanced manufacturing, robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and more.
Meet Innovators From Across the DoW
DoW Civilian Careers
There are people who work for the DoW that do not serve in the military. They are called “civilians” (also known as nonmilitary government employees). Many serve in their roles as innovators and problem-solvers of real-world challenges.
DoW Mentorship
Over 150,000 scientists and engineers working at the DoW serve as mentors each year to students and the current workforce. Many of these mentors do so outside of their assigned roles and responsibilities. The reason? To inspire and encourage the current and future generation of leaders in STEM fields.
