## Description

We are seeking a Technical Integrator to serve as the critical link between our engineering team and the customer's program environment. This role is designed for a high-initiative "operator" who can navigate complex bureaucracy, manage technical requirements, and clear roadblocks so that development stays on track in high-stakes, mission-critical domains.

Primary Responsibilities

 * Own the tracking of forms, approval chains, and key Points of Contact (POCs) to shield the engineering team from administrative friction.
 * Schedule laboratory time, stand up testing environments, and rigorously validate software behavior against established acceptance criteria.
 * Surface, clarify, and document technical performance thresholds, interface specifications, and operational constraints into actionable engineering tasks.
 * Maintain a comprehensive "living map" of stakeholder contacts and escalation paths within the customer organization to ensure seamless communication.
 * Represent the organization at integration events, technical demos, and working groups with high levels of credibility and domain expertise.
 * Proactively identify technical blockers and integration risks, proposing solutions before they escalate into program-level issues.
 * Record outcomes, decisions, and open action items in real-time to ensure zero loss of information across the project lifecycle.
