The Precision Fire & Maneuver Systems Engineering organization is searching for a Senior Principal Systems Engineer, DeepStrike Launcher, Communications, Integrated Product Team Lead (IPTL) to lead the development of the communication system for the DeepStrike Launcher program. The DeepStrike Launcher program is an advanced U.S. Army initiative focused on developing a highly mobile, modular, and autonomous launch platform capable of supporting a variety of long-range precision fires across multiple domains. The program seeks to develop a resilient and robust communication architecture that ensures continuous command and control of autonomous launchers and resupply vehicles in contested and complex environments. This includes the selection and integration of directional line-of-sight (LOS) communication systems to support high-bandwidth, low-latency data exchange during active operations, coupled with redundant non-line-of-sight (NLOS) systems such as UHF radios and/or satellite communications (SATCOM) to maintain connectivity when LOS links are degraded or unavailable. These communication systems must support dynamic mission planning, health monitoring, and coordinated actions across autonomous assets. This IPT Lead role will lead the development of the communication system including evaluating, selecting, and integrating the communication systems into the DeepStrike Launcher architecture. As an IPT Lead, you will be responsible for overseeing the technical execution and successful delivery of a complex product from concept through fielding.
