Job description

Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager

About the role

Integer Technologies is currently hiring a Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager reporting to the Director of Cyber Engineering. This role is located in Tallahassee, FL, leading joint work with Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) as part of a Navy‑funded cyber‑physical security program.

The Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager will serve as Principal Investigator (PI) on large, multi-year cyber research programs with an emphasis on Zero Trust Architecture development, cyber‑physical resilience research, and threat informed defensive methods for naval power systems. This will include leading and managing technical research efforts, including developing cyber‑resiliency frameworks for embedded control systems, coordinating modeling and simulation environments for mission level assessment, and managing task interdependencies between different parts of the program.

Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able to conduct research, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand. The Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager must be able to serve as a Principal Investigator and a technical contributor with a technical background to contribute to the development of new technologies and prototypes. The candidate must be able to oversee university partners, manage Navy stakeholder interactions, coordinate deliverables and SOW‑aligned milestones, and lead multidisciplinary teams in cyber‑physical research execution.

What you'll do

• Lead a team performing cyber physical system modeling, cyber risk analysis, dynamic cyber defense research, and feasibility studies for Navy relevant power systems.
• Direct research into AI/MLbased anomaly detection methods for embedded systems, including Bayesian, graph based, and adversarial approaches.
• Manage integration of university driven research into power system security workflows.
• Oversee design and execution of bench scale experiments, digital modeling environments, and controlled field demonstrations to validate cyber-physical resilience approaches.
• Provide engineeringleadership andmanagement including technical direction, scheduling, deliverable tracking, documentation quality, CUI data security, and coordination with external sponsors and research collaborators.
• Lead technology transition planning, operator training sessions, and collaboration with Navy and industry partners to scale cyber-physical resilience solutions into operational power systems.
• Contribute to business development by shaping new research directions, developing technical proposal content, and cultivating relationships with government sponsors.

Required Qualifications

• U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree and 8 years of relevant experience, or a master's degree and 5 years of experience, in cybersecurity, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related discipline.
• Experience leading cyber-physical systems and power systems research involving modeling, simulation, cyber risk assessment, and dynamic cyber defense design.
• Background with state-of-the-art cybersecurity approaches, including AI/ML based anomaly detection, embedded systems security, and power systems cybersecurity.
• Experience managing engineering teams and multi-phase R&D programs with complex deliverables.
• Ability to design and supervise execution of laboratory and field based cyber physical experiments.
• Excellent communication skills, including documentation of complex technical findings and ability to communicate clearly with new customers and government sponsors.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with cyber research for power systems.
• Proficiency developing digital modeling environments to simulate cyber physical interactions and mission impacts.
• Experience transitioning technologies to government or industry partners.
• Familiarity with DoW research program workflows.

About Integer Technologies

Integer Technologies is an applied research and product development company founded by scientists and engineers with a passion for protecting freedom with innovation. We perform R&D on next-generation systems and technologies for the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government agencies. We are hardware and software developers with experience transforming research into fieldable technology. Our core portfolio of research includes projects in power & energy systems, unmanned systems (with an emphasis on maritime systems), digital engineering, cyber security, and advanced manufacturing. Our mission is to create a safer world by translating scientific discoveries into reliable products that address urgent national security needs… at the speed of relevance.

We are growing a portfolio of applied research projects aimed at increasing the cyber resilience of cyber-physical systems fielded by the Navy. We are also developing a new cyber resilience and penetration testing framework to improve resilience of the future hybrid uncrewed/crewed fleet. This framework will be a key enabler for autonomous systems to be vetted against anomalies and/or adversarial attacks. Additionally, our power & energy systems portfolio includes work supporting the DoD’s the electrification of platforms beginning with Navy ships. Our uncrewed systems portfolio includes work on critical enabling technologies for more reliable, more intelligent, and longer-duration unmanned systems. Our advanced manufacturing portfolio includes works to improve the throughput and quality of high-temperature composite parts used in advanced military aerospace systems. Integer’s diverse portfolio of novel R&D programs also means that we are uniquely positioned to provide feedback to the government on what emerging technologies exist that can fill specific capability gaps for the Department of Defense over various time horizons.
