Engineering Manager

About The Role

Integer Technologies is currently hiring a Subsea Data Intelligence Engineering Manager reporting to the Director of Mission Autonomy. The Subsea Data Intelligence Engineering Manager will serve as Principal Investigator (PI) on large, multi-year subsea data intelligence research programs with an emphasis on autonomous sense-making, and mission-driven use of subsea and oceanographic datasets. This role will lead the development of a decision support framework for uncrewed underwater vehicles capable of adapting in real time to changing environmental conditions.

This includes maintaining the accuracy of subsea data collection and processing of that data at the edge as environmental conditions change. As part of this role, the Subsea Data Intelligence Engineering Manager will oversee the teams of engineers executing on these programs.

Many of our projects focus on using sensor-informed edge-deployed models running onboard uncrewed platforms (e.g., uncrewed surface vessels and uncrewed underwater vessels) to make real-time assessments of mission goals and provide the operators of uncrewed systems with decision aids to maximize mission outcomes. Executing this approach for maritime systems, which may involve multiple uncrewed or autonomous systems operating together to achieve a given mission, requires holistic system-wide modeling and simulation approach with a distillation of relevant factors correlated with mission outcomes.

Therefore, we are particularly interested in candidates who have experience in extracting critical mission-relevant data from dense sources (e.g., modeling and simulation tools, sensors such as acoustic or magnetic, and/or machinery control systems) and translating that into actionable, mission-level information for autonomous decision making at the edge.

Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able to perform research, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand.

The Subsea Data Intelligence Engineering Manager must be able to serve as a Principal Investigator and a technical contributor with the technical background to contribute to the development of new technologies and prototypes.

• Serve as Principal Investigator (PI) for subsea data intelligence research programs, with an emphasis on edge processing of subsea data, including acoustic and magnetic, as well as autonomous decision making using processed data.
• Be the lead authority responsible for maturing the science and technology research for the program into functional, demonstratable prototypes that address validated customer needs.
• Oversee the technical, schedule, and budget performance for the S&T/R&D program and any related products that may be derived from it.
• Establish a vision and plan for big picture project outcomes that align with the vision of the Director of Mission Autonomy.
• Provide technical subject-matter expertise for the Company’s projects related to undersea autonomy, subsea data collection, and edge processing of seafloor and oceanographic data.
• Lead the development of sophisticated tools that enhance the ability of uncrewed and autonomous systems to conduct oceanographic and subsea data collection missions, including AI/ML tools, modeling and simulation suites, and optimization engines.
• Lead the design of edge processing algorithms for subsea and oceanographic sensors including acoustic, magnetic, and electro-optic sensors.
• Be the primary technical interface with Integer’s academic research partners and serve as a liaison to government customers.
• Manage, track, and review deliverables to federal customers. Ensure program deadlines are met and manage priorities for multiple programs.
• Collaborate with federal sponsors to understand their missions, technology gaps, and success criteria.
• Translate research into Navy…
