Department Summary:

The MITRE Corporation’s All-Domain (ADI) Integration Department (N163) supports the development and delivery of integrated, agile mission capabilities that will enable Command and Control across the US and Coalition forces to operate in a cohesive manner at the time and place of their choosing. ADI’s focus is to (1) develop joint, all-domain operational concepts; (2) mature these concepts through realizable architectures; and (3) transition the developed capabilities to the warfighter. This involves the near-term modernization of fielded capabilities and development of next generation warfighter operations in all phases of systems evolution: from concept exploration, through experimentation and fielding.

To achieve this broad set of outcomes for our Government Sponsors, N163 seeks staff that have knowledge or interest in several related areas of expertise, including multi-domain sensor operations and architectures; Command and Control (C2); Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) integration and exploitation; Position Navigation and Timing (PNT); end-to-end kill chain integration and assessment; and platform integration. These domain competencies are complemented by a variety of technical skills which enable program execution and include systems engineering, modeling & simulation, and software and hardware prototyping. MITRE and the ADI department work together with Government sponsors and the warfighter to serve as technical advisors bringing domain experience and state-of-the-art solutions to their most demanding operational challenges. Successful candidates will join our team and immediately begin tackling emerging, high-priority challenges in the areas of Combined Joint All-Domain Command & Control (CJADC2).

Roles and Responsibilities:

N163 is currently seeking a Project Leader (PL) for our Electronic Warfare (EW) project. This is an outstanding opportunity for a technically focused PL to help drive affordable sensor and countermeasure technologies for reconnaissance, surveillance, precision engagement and electronic warfare systems through a mix of hands-on prototyping work and strategic requirements development. The set of tasks in this project operate in a consortium fashion with other MITRE projects throughout MITRE’s MNS and CAASD work programs and contribute to high-visibility DoD-wide objectives.

The selected PL will engage directly with the project sponsors to help shape and influence technical priorities in order to deliver mission capabilities. The PL will team with the N160 leadership teams to 1) establish overall project priorities that are aligned with both sponsor and MITRE MNS priorities; 2) develop and gain sponsor agreement on strategic outcomes; and 3) develop, shape, and execute a work program to achieve these outcomes.

• Perform regular, in-person sponsor engagements to inform current and emerging challenges and priorities; current project status; sponsor engagements; and emerging issues, risks, and opportunities.

• Collaborate with other MNS and CAASD projects to achieve sponsor outcomes and identify and execute inter-portfolio partnering for benefit to the larger DoD community.

• Identify, propose, and pursue partnerships with MITRE internally funded efforts (innovation program, capstone projects, strategic outcomes, etc), as applicable to pursue groundbreaking capability advancements and delivery.

• Define, develop, and execute project work plans with specific work-shaping objectives, products, and outcomes.

• Assist the MITRE MNS leadership teams in identifying portfolio trends and thrusts to assist with crafting the work program strategies.

• Lead efforts related to MITRE staffing and mentoring across a broad range of sensor-related disciplines and technologies.
