Position Overview:

The Mid-Senior Mission Integrator provides technical leadership and hands-on integration support for U.S. Navy unmanned systems (UxS) programs. This role connects unmanned surface vessels (USVs), sensors, and communications systems into a shared operating picture for operators and decision-makers, including live video, position reporting, and radar and sensor tracks.

Working alongside the Senior Mission Integrator, this position bridges hands-on field execution and mission-level planning. The Mid-Senior Mission Integrator leads integration efforts independently, serves as a trusted technical point of contact for government customers and partners, and mentors junior team members as the program grows

Key Responisbilties:

• Mission Integration: Lead the integration of USV sensors, video, and data feeds into common operating picture systems such as Team Awareness Kit (TAK). Translate operator and customer requirements into working, mission-ready solutions.
• Test and Operational Support: Plan, coordinate, and execute UxS field tests, demonstrations, exercises, and real-world operations. Provide real-time troubleshooting during at-sea and field events.
• Systems and Equipment Readiness: Support installation, configuration, and validation of payloads, communications equipment, and ground control systems. Track equipment status and readiness.
• Customer and Partner Liaison: Serve as a technical point of contact for government customers, vessel and sensor manufacturers, and partner organizations. Coordinate requirements, schedules, and technical issues across multi-organization teams.
• Documentation and Standards: Develop SOPs, setup guides, CONOPS inputs, test logs, field reports, and briefings. Build repeatable processes so capabilities can be sustained and transitioned.
• Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and training to junior integrators and operations staff.
• Business Development Support: Support proposals, technical write-ups, and quarterly reporting. Identify opportunities to expand capabilities for current and new customers.

Required Qualifications: 

• Active SECRET clearance (or ability to reactivate).
• 6–10 years of experience in mission operations, operational planning, or systems integration, preferably in a military or maritime environment.
• Military experience (U.S. Navy, USCG, Marine Corps, or SOCOM preferred).
• Experience planning, coordinating, and executing operations, exercises, tests, or demonstrations.
• Ability to understand operational requirements and translate them into practical solutions.
• Proven ability to work with government customers, partners, and multi-organization teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt in fast-paced, changing environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including briefing technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to lead tasks independently and mentor others.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with unmanned systems (USV, UUV, or UAS) operations or integration.
• Experience with Navy programs, test events, or fleet experimentation.
• Familiarity with command and control (C2) and common operating picture systems.
• Experience developing SOPs, CONOPS, training, or operational documentation.
• Experience supporting proposals or business development.
• Project or program management experience; PMP or similar certification a plus.
• General technical background in communications, networking, or cybersecurity.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field preferred.
• Relevant military or industry experience may substitute for a degree.
• A forklift license, computer or IT certifications (e.g., CompTIA A+, Security+), and a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification are a plus.

Security Clearance:

• Active SECRET clearance required (or ability to reactivate); ability to obtain a higher clearance is a plus.
