Experience supporting DoW R&D programs, rapid prototyping initiatives, and field experiments/operational demonstrations.
Familiarity with systems engineering processes and technical reviews.
Prior experience working directly with government program offices, labs, or operational users.
Ability to travel for integration events, field demos, and customer engagements.
Experience managing subcontractors or industry partners.
Knowledge of defense contracting environments (FAR/DFARs a plus).

Responsibilities

Lead cross-functional engineering teams developing next-generation EW sensor payloads, cognitive/software-defined systems, and integrated EW capabilities.
Own project cost, schedule, scope, and technical execution for multiple R&D and demonstration efforts funded by DoD customers.
Plan and execute system development from concept through prototype build, lab integration, and field demonstration events.
Coordinate hardware, software, firmware, test, logistics, and operations resources to meet program objectives.
Manage risk, dependencies, and technical challenges across fast-paced R&D efforts.
Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, and performance metrics.
Prepare and present program status, technical progress, and financial reporting to leadership and government stakeholders.
Support customer reviews, design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), integration events, and operational exercises.
Drive continuous improvement in execution processes, communication, and delivery velocity.
Ensure compliance with security, quality, export control, and program governance requirements.
