About the role
- Serve as a senior technical advisor to government C-sUAS capability managers. Translate operational challenges and mission requirements into executable technical and integration activities. Develop and maintain C-UXS mission threads, use cases, system requirements, interface requirements, and acceptance criteria. Integrate sensors, command-and-control systems, networks, data services, effectors, and supporting software. Analyze and troubleshoot data flows, component connectivity, protocols, timing, configurations, and interoperability issues. Support integration across air, ground, surface, and subsurface unmanned-system threat sets. Coordinate technical activities across government organizations, OEMs, software developers, and system vendors. Evaluate vendor capabilities, technical approaches, integration readiness, and proposed solutions. Develop system architectures, data-flow diagrams, interface-control documentation, configuration baselines, and integration records. Support network connectivity, data exchange, cybersecurity, access, and system-hardening activities within the authorized scope. Plan and support laboratory, field, and operational test events. Develop test objectives, scenarios, measures of performance, measures of effectiveness, test cards, and pass/fail criteria. Support system setup, test execution, troubleshooting, data collection, and daily operational reporting. Analyze test results, identify root causes, recommend corrective actions, and verify issue closure. Gather feedback from military operators and assess operational suitability, usability, and mission effectiveness.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
