About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lead from the Field. Serve as a senior on-site NODA representative and customer point of contact at multi-domain field exercises and demonstrations, directing setup/teardown, troubleshooting, and execution (including at overseas locations).
- Grow the Team. Help recruit, hire, and onboard Field Operations Specialists and own the onboarding curriculum that transfers both craft and strategic context.
- Develop People and Teams. Build the training program — certification pipelines (e.g., FAA Part 107), cross-training, and knowledge transfer — and coach each team member along distinct career lanes, building depth and redundancy in critical skills as the team scales.
- Own the Safety Program. Own flight-worthiness verification, integration timelines, and test review processes that maximize learning from deliberate R&D test attrition; ensure a safe, professional shop and field environment.
- Integrate and Plan. Lead operational coordination with Mission Operations and Engineering Operations — setting tasking horizons, demo lead times, and clear points of contact — and plan and adapt complex, multi-site deployment logistics as conditions change.
- Build/Run Lean Systems. Run lean operational systems — reporting rhythms, task tracking, inventory, and delegated purchasing — right-sized so the team spends its time building and flying.
- Drive a Cycle of Improvement. Own deployment plans, checklists, logs, and after-action reports, and drive lessons learned and customer feedback into improved demo-readiness processes.
Requirements
What you’ll need- U.S. Citizen (required); ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance; active Secret or higher strongly preferred.
- 5+ years of hands-on technical experience in field, lab, or operational environments, including 5+ years leading technical teams.
- Demonstrated player-coach leadership: leading from the front, developing people individually, and earning trust through presence and listening rather than positional authority.
- Experience scaling or building a small technical team, ideally in a startup, R&D, or test-and-evaluation environment.
- Proven planner with experience organizing complex, rapidly changing operations or logistics efforts.
- Self-aware and adaptable; effective under rapidly changing, complex, and ambiguous conditions.
- Willing and able to deploy to forward locations overseas, including austere environments.
- Comfortable working in both lab and outdoor field environments; ability to lift 60 lbs and work in dynamic field conditions.
