About the Role

Integer Technologies is forming a specialized team to conduct advanced science and technology research focused on the operationalization of passive acoustic soundscape data for Undersea Warfare (USW) and Seabed and Subsea Warfare (SSW). The Engineering Manager will serve as Principal Investigator (PI) on large, multiyear research programs aimed at developing an integrated framework that incorporates physics-based models, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and novel acoustic soundscape modeling. This framework will enable deployment on both manned and unmanned platforms to provide warfighters with up to date, actionable understanding of the undersea acoustic environment to directly enhance the effectiveness and adaptability of USW and SSW missions.

This role requires both technical excellence and leadership capability. The Engineering Manager will lead and mentor multidisciplinary engineering teams, collaborate closely with Integer’s academic research partners, and interface with government customers. The position requires a strong understanding of Navy missions, operational challenges, and capability gaps, as well as the ability to identify, pursue, and shape new research opportunities.

Integer’s operating model is built on transforming science and technology research into deployable capabilities for the Department of War. Much of our work involves developing solutions for complex problems that currently have no known answers. As a result, candidates must be able to conduct original research, rapidly learn new concepts from a range of engineering disciplines, and document findings in a clear, accessible manner for both technical and nontechnical audiences.

Given the early stage and exploratory nature of Integer’s program portfolio, the Engineering Manager must be capable of functioning as both a Principal Investigator and a hands-on technical leader. This includes contributing directly to the design, development, and prototyping of new technologies, systems, and analytical tools.

Primary Responsibilities

• Serve as Principal Investigator (PI) for ocean soundscape research programs in partnership with the University of New Hampshire and other academic collaborators.
• Lead multidisciplinary engineering teams using hands on systems engineering experience to develop new tools that monitor, assess, and enhance distributed maritime operations through an understanding of the ocean soundscape in real time.
• Oversee the development of modeling and simulation frameworks that enable virtual demonstration, evaluation, and refinement of new capabilities prior to transition onto physical systems.
• Contribute directly to technical deliverables for industry-academia research projects focused on the operationalization of ocean soundscapes.
• Analyze and integrate multisource data within battle management and decision support frameworks for unmanned and autonomous platforms to understand soundscape impacts on higher level mission outcomes.
• Conduct research with partners across multiple maritime domains leveraging models, simulations, and operational data to advance autonomous systems performance.
• Interface with university partners to translate academic research into Navy relevant tools, prototypes, and methods that align with mission needs and operational constraints.
• Provide domain expertise in distributed systems, ocean soundscapes, systems engineering, technical analysis, software development, and product development to guide research direction and solution design.
• Mentor engineers and researchers, promoting best practices, modern toolsets, and state-of-the-art methodologies in ocean soundscape data collection and processing, autonomy, and systems engineering.
• Manage program deliverables and timelines for federal customers, ensuring milestone completion, priority alignment, and high-quality technical output across multiple concurrent programs.
• Collaborate closely with federal sponsors to understand mission objectives, capability gaps, and success criteria, ensuring research outcomes directly support customer needs.

• Translate research findings into proposals and white papers that pursue new opportunities and expand Integer’s portfolio of undersea and maritime autonomy research programs.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD Secret Clearance.
• Masters’ degree in relevant field (e.g., oceanography, marine science, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or other related field) and 5+ years of experience relevant to the primary responsibilities outlined above.
• Ability to work onsite at Integer’s office in Durham, New Hampshire, at least three days a week in accordance with Integer’s hybrid work policy.
• Experience with the research-grade modeling and simulation (M&S) tools, including the development and use of M&S tools for assessment of novel technology.
• Knowledge of topics related to unmanned and autonomous platforms such as intelligent control and decision making, battlefield management, multi-agent collaboration, and/or autonomous and unmanned systems.
• Understanding of the basic principles of marine acoustics.
• Experience with numerical methods and scientific software development in general purpose programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
• Excellent written and oral communication skills and technical leadership. Must have the ability to lead cross domain teams in new research areas.
• Understanding of the Navy and Department of War’s mission, problem set, and strategy for the integration of autonomous systems.
• Ability to travel up to approximately 15% of time. This travel includes, but is not limited to, meetings with government customers, technical conferences, industry days, and off-site test events.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Graduate certificate in Acoustics and/or equivalent demonstrated advanced understanding of marine acoustics via education, work experience, or combination thereof.
• Ph.D. in relevant field (e.g., oceanography, marine science, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or other related field).
• Experience with unmanned and autonomous systems research involving maritime autonomous systems such as uncrewed surface vessels and uncrewed underwater vessels.
• Experience with the application of artificial intelligence to intelligent control and decision making of autonomous systems.
• Experience with digital prototyping and simulation of collaborative autonomous systems in digital environments.
