About The Position

Prescient Edge is seeking a Mid. Mission Integrator to support a federal government client. The role provides technical leadership and hands-on integration support for U.S. Navy unmanned systems (UxS) programs. It 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, the position bridges field execution and mission-level planning. The Mid. Mission Integrator leads integration efforts independently, serves as a technical point of contact for government customers and partners, and mentors junior team members. The position is primarily on-site at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story. Flexible hours are allowed, but most work is on-site. Field events may involve extended hours, on-water operations, and expeditionary conditions. Physical requirements include lifting 40+ lbs during equipment staging, embarking vessels for at-sea operations, and working outdoors in maritime environments.
