STR is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling enduring products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. We consider the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.
The Systems Development Division (SDD) within STR delivers technology advantage into users’ hands and is seeking a Hardware Section Manager who will lead teams in the design, development, and deployment of systems that meet challenging customer needs. Your responsibilities will be centered in two primary areas: 1) Functional leadership of an engineering team spanning multiple disciplines in a matrixed-organization and 2) technical execution by applying your knowledge and experience in developing hardware. In this role, you will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multi-disciplinary teams to interpret and understand customer objectives and develop innovative solutions. You may direct and/or lead development efforts and junior engineers, as needed, in areas of focus including exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence.
As a Functional Manager, you will lead a team of Engineers with skills in RF, Electrical and Mechanical (Electromechanical) Engineering, and Firmware. Your responsibilities will include hiring and developing technical experts, working with programs to ensure staffing and execution, and collaborating across the enterprise to enable your team as well as maintain awareness of corporate activities and expectations. It is not expected that you are an expert in each of the domains within the Section, but to be successful, you will need to be comfortable with effectively leveraging, delegating, and enabling people who work in domains you are not familiar with.
As a technical lead, you will apply your technical expertise and experience to support and/or guide program execution. Your responsibilities can range from individual contribution on technical efforts to being the Chief Engineer/Principal Investigator on technically-complex, high-visibility efforts.
By merging the insights and awareness gained through the execution of those primary areas, you will be positioned well to influence how Engineering meets and exceeds the expectations for rigor and reputation, while positioning it to meet future challenges.
Strong interpersonal, communication, technical, and peer-leadership skills are required. Applicants are expected to be self-motivated, detail oriented and have a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with all levels of management and individual contributors on the program team through strong written and verbal communication skills. You will be joining a dynamic team working across multiple disciplines with opportunities to further expand your knowledge and grow your career.
