Job description

Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa for you and your family.

This post is a full employment contract with our delivery partner, with the benefits that go with it — not a contractor or B2B arrangement. Agreeing to be employed is the first condition of the role.

A multinational defence organisation needs sustained analytical capacity on emerging and disruptive technologies. This role provides it — cataloguing, assessing and advising, inside the innovation branch.

What You Would Be Doing

• Identifying new emerging technologies and cataloguing the existing ones.


• Assessing their implications and adoption opportunities on a continuing basis.


• Promoting experimentation with technology-based solutions in realistic environments.


• Feeding the science and technology programme of work and the foresight and defence planning strands it supports.


• Identifying capability shortfalls that adoption would close, from the planning products and the operational lessons.


• Educating staff on the opportunities and the risks.


• Running the knowledge base that shows the current state of adoption.


• Working as part of the innovation branch under multi-domain force development.

What you would bring

• A bachelor degree from a recognised university in computer science, information and communication technology, engineering or a related discipline.


• At least two years acquiring, assembling and interpreting research and technology information.


• Knowledge of national science and technology sources.


• Experience judging how future technology applies in a military environment.


• The ability to work analytically on technology documentation and build practical adoption examples.


• Comfortable with office tooling and open-source research.


• Fluent professional English.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
