About The Position

GXM Technologies is seeking a highly skilled Technical Integration Lead to drive the design, integration, and operational delivery, systems integration and technical execution of a new advanced Operations Center (Ops Center) supporting multi-domain missions. This role will lead the implementation, integration, deployment and operational readiness of commercial, government, and allied capabilities into a unified operational environment that delivers an enhanced Common Operating Picture (COP), advanced data fusion, and mission decision support. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in space and mission systems integration, operational environment deployment, modern cloud-native architecture, operational data environments, interface-driven engineering, and operational C2 systems delivery. This individual will play a critical role in defining and integrating operational data streams, architecting scalable operational systems, and developing robust Interface Control Documents (ICDs) that enable interoperability across mission partners, sensors, analytics platforms, and visualization systems. This role supports the capability releases, ensuring operational mission readiness across integrated systems. This role is onsite in Colorado Springs, CO. Hybrid flexibility may be available over time based on mission requirements, program execution needs, and achievement of objectives.
