Job description
Air Defense is a high-octane, rapidly scaling business line that develops, integrates, and fields an expanding mix of mature and novel capabilities to detect and defeat UAS threats. As our business line continues to scale, our newest emerging initiatives require focused direction and ownership to rapidly mature in support of Air Defense’s operational, technical, and financial objectives. These special projects are critical to our organization’s continued growth: they can convert into a new product, a new team, or a new program.

- Build with longevity in mind - you build teams and systems that are resilient and scalable beyond your personal involvement. You’re unafraid to leave something you’ve built, even when it’s quickly succeeding.
- Allergic to ambiguity - you use questions as tools and have a proven track-record of making sound decisions under uncertainty and with limited information.
- Master Communicator - you are fluent in the fundamental principles of persuasion and have elite writing, speaking, and narrative-crafting skills.
- Analytical Rigor and Versatility - you’re a dialectical thinker able to properly interpret contradictory information.
- Demonstrated Humility - you’re not above shouldering more than your share of the task, getting your hands dirty, and you champion the successes of the engineers you lead. No job is too small for you.
- Bachelor’s Degree
- 4+ years as a cross-functional leader in hardware and/or software organizations
