We encourage candidates to consider which arrangement best fits their personal and professional needs when applying for a position with us.

1. Hybrid Positions
   • Definition: Hybrid positions involve a mix of working on-site at a General Dynamics Mission Systems or non-General Dynamics Mission Systems facility and having some flexibility to work from home.
   • Expectation: Employees in hybrid roles are typically required to spend a certain number of days in the office each week or month, with the remaining days available for remote work.
   • Key Points:
     • This is not a "part-time remote" role.
     • It is designed for those who can commit to regular in-office presence with some flexibility for remote work.
     • The goal is to balance in-person collaboration with the convenience of working from home.
2. Fully Remote Positions
   • Definition: Fully remote positions allow employees to work from home 100% of the time, not including travel or infrequent meetings elsewhere.
   • Expectation: Employees can work from any location that suits them, provided they have a reliable internet connection and can meet the job requirements.
   • Key Points:
     • Fully remote workers may or may not be near a General Dynamics Mission Systems site.
     • May rarely visit a General Dynamics Mission Systems location.
     • These roles offer complete geographical flexibility, making it possible to work from any location within the constraints of time zones and business hours as defined by the role.
3. Flex Positions 
   • Definition: Flex positions involve regularly working both at home and on-site at a General Dynamics Mission Systems or non-General Dynamics Mission Systems facility each week.
   • Expectation: The balance between on-site and remote work varies depending on the specific flex arrangement.
   • Types of Flex Positions:
     • Flex from Home: Works from home more than 50% of the time, with the remainder on-site (usually one or two days per week).
     • Flex On-Site: Works on-site more than 50% of the time, usually three or four days per week, with the remainder at home.
4. Key Differences
   • Hybrid: Part-time in-office + part-time remote (regular office presence required)
   • Fully Remote: 100% remote (not including travel or infrequent meetings)
   • Flex:
     • Flex from Home: More than 50% remote, balance in-office
     • Flex On-Site: More than 50% in-office, balance remote
