Responsibilities

• Lead integration of EW, protection, and non-kinetic capabilities with autonomous platforms, mission applications, command and control, communications, and data services.
• Translate operational needs into technical requirements, interface definitions, integration roadmaps, and measurable test and readiness criteria.
• Coordinate electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic interference, spectrum supportability, and spectrum-use requirements with engineering teams and responsible government authorities.
• Assess system resilience in contested or degraded electromagnetic and communications environments; define integration risks, test objectives, and corrective actions.
• Develop integration architectures spanning approved network, cloud, on-premises, tactical edge, disconnected, and air-gapped environments.
• Coordinate software onboarding, application programming interfaces, data flows, identity and access, observability, and configuration requirements with platform and software teams.
• Align integration with DevSecOps pipelines, software supply-chain controls, cybersecurity baselines, Risk Management Framework activities, and Authority to Operate requirements.
• Establish interface control documents, configuration baselines, release criteria, test plans, deployment procedures, and sustainment documentation.
• Plan and lead laboratory, range, exercise, and operational integration events; evaluate interoperability, electromagnetic compatibility, resilience, and mission performance.
• Lead resolution of cross-system technical issues with EW specialists, cybersecurity personnel, network and software engineers, autonomy teams, operators, acquisition personnel, and vendors.
• Assess third-party capabilities for compatibility, security, deployability, supportability, and operational relevance; track schedules, dependencies, risks, and readiness.
