About The Position
The Senior Exercise Integrator provides contractor support to the Test Resources Management Center (TRMC) Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonics (MACH) Program Manager.

The role ensures MACH assets support high-fidelity hypersonic viewing and tracking, simulated engagements, and live-fire test opportunities that challenge and validate warfighter architectures. The position supports COCOM headquarters, test centers, and exercise locations domestically and outside the continental United States. It requires 50% travel, U.S. citizenship, and eligibility for a Top Secret/SCI government security clearance.
