Job description

Job Description We are seeking a Technical Integrator to serve as the critical link between our engineering team and the customer's program environment. This role is designed for a high-initiative "operator" who can navigate complex bureaucracy, manage technical requirements, and clear roadblocks so that development stays on track in high-stakes, mission-critical domains.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own the tracking of forms, approval chains, and key Points of Contact (POCs) to shield the engineering team from administrative friction.
• Schedule laboratory time, stand up testing environments, and rigorously validate software behavior against established acceptance criteria.
• Surface, clarify, and document technical performance thresholds, interface specifications, and operational constraints into actionable engineering tasks.
• Maintain a comprehensive "living map" of stakeholder contacts and escalation paths within the customer organization to ensure seamless communication.
• Represent the organization at integration events, technical demos, and working groups with high levels of credibility and domain expertise.
• Proactively identify technical blockers and integration risks, proposing solutions before they escalat into program-level issues.
• Record outcomes, decisions, and open action items in real-time to ensure zero loss of information across the project lifecycle.

Required Skills Required Experience

• Active Secret Clearance (TS/SCI strongly preferred).
• Experience operating within or alongside DoD environments, such as program offices, defense labs, or maritime platforms (ships/submarines).
• Ability to hold informed, deep-dive conversations with software engineers to understand architectural trade-offs and mission impact.
• Strong written and verbal skills with a proven ability to brief diverse audiences and drive responsiveness across unfamiliar organizations.
• A relentless focus on follow-through, with a track record of owning and closing complex open items in high-pressure settings.

Desired Skills Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with the LM ARCI lab environment, AN/BYG-1, or submarine C4ISR integration pipelines.
• Prior service in submarine sonar, fire control, or C4ISR (e.g., STS, FT, ET ratings or equivalent officer designators).
• Direct experience working with NUWC Newport, NAVSEA, or PEO IWS organizations.
• Exposure to modern message bus architectures (Redpanda, Kafka) or the ability to read code (Rust, C, or Protobuf) to ask informed technical questions.
