About The Position

The Integration & Test Manager (Level 5) provides technical and organizational leadership for system integration, test engineering, and field test operations supporting advanced military GPS and Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. The role directs a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for validating product performance, resiliency, and mission readiness across laboratory, production, and contested field environments. The manager ensures end-to-end integration maturity, leads complex test campaigns, and maintains alignment with military performance standards and mission requirements. The position interfaces with systems engineering, hardware, software, firmware, production, and program management teams, and coordinates with government partners, test ranges, and mission stakeholders. Navigation Solutions products support warfighters in denied or degraded environments. This role helps ensure receivers, simulators, and PNT subsystems remain reliable and mission-effective under adversarial conditions, including jamming, spoofing, and interference. The position requires an active U.S. Secret Clearance and travel up to 10%.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline and 9+ years of relevant experience; or a graduate degree and 7+ years of relevant experience; or 15+ years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
Active U.S. Secret Clearance.
