How many times have you heard it? “We are a unique company with unique capabilities and unique benefits…" Too many people have heard it so many times that it no longer means much. Therefore, we have a challenge in convincing good people that Argon ST really does offer extraordinary work while providing the level of benefits to back up our claims. And you have a challenge in judging prospective opportunities instead of imaginative writing. Let’s make a deal. Come visit Argon ST where we will show you the work, and encourage you to talk with anyone at random about it. We will show you our benefits package and let you decide if it’s good enough to justify all the awards and our retention. In return for your time and trouble, we promise not to tell you that we are truly unique... but we can’t promise that won’t decide it on your own.

Argon offers a competitive benefits package that includes medical insurance, 4 weeks of PTO, generous holidays (including the day after Thanksgiving and the week between Christmas and New Years), 401K contributions totaling up to 9%, and 100% tuition reimbursement. Please visit our Web site (www.argonst.com) for much more information on our company, products, benefits, and career opportunities.
