Mission Operations Lead, Maritime
The Mission Operations Lead joins the maritime team to bridge the gap between complex operational problems and technical product development for unmanned systems in subsurface and surface domains. This role involves developing concepts of operation, mission threads, and use cases while translating threat environments and customer missions into defensible requirements for engineering teams. You will serve as a critical link between warfighters and internal leadership, ensuring that technology remains anchored to real-world needs. Key responsibilities include analyzing trade-offs in mission utility, conducting portfolio-level analysis, and preparing executive-level briefings for senior military and civilian decision-makers. The role requires expertise in maritime operational planning, autonomous systems like AUVs, and a deep understanding of threat-informed planning. You will utilize skills in campaign analysis, wargaming, and requirements development to influence roadmap decisions and ensure products meet specific warfighting outcomes.
