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 integrat…
