We are seeking a Senior Director, Advanced Technology Growth to lead the capture of contracted science and technology research. In this role, you will serve as the bridge between Voyager’s visionary R&D capabilities and the critical needs of the defense and national security community.

We are looking for passionate humans who have deep expertise and understand the U.S. Government Science & Technology (S&T) community in the DoD and IC—specifically engaging with organizations such as DARPA, ONR, AFRL, IARPA, DIU, etc.—as well as adjacent customer communities that drive advanced technology development. You will operate at the intersection of business strategy and deep‑tech innovation, ensuring that Voyager’s roadmap aligns with the government’s most pressing future requirements.

This position uniquely combines technical fluency with aggressive business development. It requires a leader who can translate complex engineering concepts into compelling value propositions for government customers. You will act as a "technical entrepreneur" within the company, identifying funding opportunities for early‑stage technologies (TRL 3–6) and guiding them through the "valley of death" into programs of record or commercialized product lines.

You will be joining the Advanced Technology Development team, a specialized unit within our Strategic Growth and Technology Organization. This team is responsible for defining and developing Voyager's future technologies, with a relentless focus on high‑impact, high‑ROI technology and product research and development. Our technology portfolio spans the totality of Voyager's capabilities and beyond—we are tasked with creating both leap‑ahead capabilities in existing technology areas and strategically moving into and developing foundational technology in new, uncharted areas.

• Customer partnership: cultivate and maintain deep relationships with program managers and technical directors at key research agencies (DARPA, AFRL, ONR, etc.), acting as a trusted partner to solve their toughest technical problems.
• Bridge technology & business: collaborate closely with the Advanced Technology Development engineering team to translate technical breakthroughs into fundable programs, providing market intelligence to align R&D with future funding streams.
• Communicate technical value: evangelize Voyager’s future technology portfolio to external stakeholders, simplifying complex technical advantages into clear strategic benefits for the warfighter…
