This position will provide technical leadership and project management oversight for two critical efforts: (1) Survey and Design work for trainer facility build-outs, and (2) development of the Surface Training Data Ecosystem integrating AI, dashboards, and DEVSECOPS connectivity across trainers, schoolhouses, and ships. This role requires a senior leader with Navy facility engineering systems (i.e. NAVFAC) experience to define requirements, establish technical scope, coordinate with government facilities teams, and build program execution strategies from the ground up. The position will serve as the primary technical interface with government sponsors and will be responsible for transitioning conceptual requirements into actionable program plans and workforce strategies. Essential Job Responsibilities * Serve as primary technical liaison with government clients to define requirements, assess technical feasibility, and establish project scope for both work streams * Lead and manage multi-disciplinary engineering teams supporting Survey and Design efforts for trainer facility build-outs, including electrical, telecommunication, structural, and Architect & Engineering (A&E) certified drawings * Provide technical and programmatic leadership for the Surface Training Data Ecosystem development, including AI/machine learning integration, data pipeline architecture, and DEVSECOPS implementation * Coordinate kickoff meetings and requirements workshops with sponsor organizations to transition conceptual work into defined technical requirements and execution plans * Develop workforce strategies and staffing plans, including identification of required labor categories, specialized skill sets, and recruitment timelines * Interface with Navy facilities authorities and installation engineers to understand A&E certification requirements, drawing standards, and approval processes * Manage phased program standup, ensuring technical capacity and capability are evaluated and aligned with sponsor expectations * Provide technical risk assessment and mitigation strategies for complex, enterprise-level training system integrations * Lead cross-functional coordination across software development, systems engineering, cybersecurity, data science, and infrastructure teams * Support contract modification efforts including development of new labor category definitions and technical scope documentation * Ensure compliance with Navy training systems standards, cybersecurity requirements, and facility design specifications
