ABOUT THE TEAM

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Fleet Integration Manager to join our maritime team.
This is a dual-hatted role: you will perform test engineering duties and lead fleet integration efforts,
bringing hands-on at-sea operating experience into both. You will work closely with program leadership
and across engineering, operations, and business development to build a team focused on solving hard
problems and changing the industry. Join our team and help build the next generation of surface
platforms that redefine maritime operations.

Our team conducts full system-level development testing, new production acceptance testing,
sub-component qualification testing, and more. If it involves test, we support it. If you want to work
in an innovative, fast-paced environment where your work directly shapes the products we field, this is
a fantastic opportunity.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Testing and fleet integration are the same problem seen from two angles. A test plan written without
fleet operating experience misses the failure modes, workflows, and edge cases that matter at sea. In
this role, you’ll apply that experience directly: time spent operating unmanned or manned surface vessels
in real conditions, translated into test plans, demonstration events, and exercises that reflect how the
fleet actually operates.

You also serve as the bridge between the engineering team and the fleet. You identify gaps between our
platforms and existing fleet procedures, equipment, and concepts of employment, and feed that insight
back into design and test planning. You represent the operator's perspective in design reviews and
requirements discussions, and support direct engagement with fleet units and customers during
integration, test, and demonstration events.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Support the integration of surface platform subsystems, including sensors, navigation, propulsion, communication systems, autonomy software, and power systems, into a complete surface platform
• Develop, review, and execute test plans for development, integration, and acceptance testing, informed by hands-on fleet operating experience
• Support day-to-day test operations, including pre-mission testing, launch and recovery, vehicle tasking, and data analysis for internal and customer-facing efforts
• Design test and demonstration scenarios that reflect real fleet operating conditions, procedures, and tactics
• Identify gaps between platform capability and existing fleet equipment, procedures, and concepts of employment, and feed findings back to engineering and program leadership
• Support hands-on troubleshooting, repair, operation, and maintenance of surface maritime platforms in the field
• Author and/or review detailed test reports documenting internal and customer-facing test and evaluation efforts
• Support local and offshore sea testing and operations, including multi-day offshore operations
• Set up, collect, and refine operational metrics for test and fleet performance
• Participate in design reviews, requirements analysis, and system verification planning, representing the operator's perspective
• Collaborate with fleet units, external partners, and customers during integration and test, cataloging their requirements and supporting payload and system integration into the overall mission lifecycle
• Support configuration control, version control, documentation, and safety processes across land- and sea-based test and integration efforts, including extended hours as required
• Ability to travel up to 50% of the time, including multi-day offshore operations, with potential for more during key test campaigns and fleet integration events

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience operating unmanned or manned surface vessels at sea, with demonstrated ability to translate that experience into realistic test and demonstration scenarios, ideally as a recent Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the United States Navy
• Familiarity with concepts of mechanical engineering, software development and testing, electrical engineering, and control theory
• Experience in field test and/or operationally focused environments
• Knowledge of electronics troubleshooting and ability to use basic test equipment
• Proficient in reading and understanding engineering drawings and specifications
• Extremely organized and detail-oriented
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, effective across technical and non-technical audiences
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
• High ownership and a bias toward action
• Ability to travel up to 50% of your time, with potential for more during key test campaigns and fleet integration events
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• In this role, you will be subject to pre-employment and randomized substance screening, as required by the Company.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience integrating surface and airborne sensors, surface vessel navigation, and communication systems
• A genuine interest and 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, integration, and test
• Experience generating TRRs, test plans, test procedures, and test reports
• Demonstrated experience with marine operational procedures and equipment, spanning coastal to deep-water operations
• Experience briefing customers, partners, or fleet stakeholders on emerging capabilities
• Proficiency in data analysis tools: Python, MATLAB, R, SQL
• Experience developing and managing a test and evaluation program
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance
