About The Position

The Tactical SIGINT/EW Subject Matter Expert (SME) provides operational, technical, and expeditionary expertise across Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Signals Intelligence (SI), Electronic Warfare (EW), and cyber enablement in support of MSO’s Special Training and Operations (STO) mission. Tactical SIGINT / EW SMEs support contracted customer requirements, mission validation exercises, operational programs and projects, and capability integration efforts across the Metrea enterprise. This role requires a blend of hands-on technical proficiency, operational judgment, and the ability to plan and execute expeditionary technical activities in complex environments with disciplined management of physical and electronic signatures. The SME advises customers, partners, and internal teams on the effective employment of ISR/EW capabilities and may contribute to the design and delivery of special training and exercise support as required to enable mission execution and demonstrate technical depth and leadership. Limited overseas operational support may be provided on an as needed and voluntary basis.
