## Description

MTSI's Defense Services Division is seeking a Fleet Introduction Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support Navy customers in the integration and fielding of advanced overthehorizontargeting (OTHT) capabilities. In this role, you will work closely with NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVWAR, warfare centers, and fleet operators to ensure new capabilities are effectively transitioned into operational use across Navy platforms.
As a Fleet Introduction SME, you will develop and coordinate fleet introduction plans, support system integration and evaluation events, and help shape tactics, training, and procedures that enhance warfighter readiness. Your efforts will directly contribute to accelerating advanced kill chain capabilities to the fleet, improving maritime situational awareness, and strengthening overall mission effectiveness. You will collaborate with engineering, test, logistics, and operational teams to ensure a smooth transition of emerging technologies from development to deployment.
You'll be a great fit for this role if:

 * You have experience supporting Navy programs, fleet operations, or system integration activities.
 * You understand Navy organizational structures, operational environments, and the processes used to introduce new capabilities to the fleet.
 * You have worked with OTHTrelated systems, sensor integration, tactical data links, or ISR feeds supporting maritime operations.
 * You have strong analytical skills and can identify integration risks, operational impacts, and system performance gaps.
 * You are comfortable engaging directly with operators, engineers, test teams, and program office personnel to resolve issues and facilitate capability fielding.
 * You have familiarity with shipboard systems, combat systems architectures, and crossplatform kill chain concepts.
 * You have excellent communication skills and can prepare clear, effective briefs and reports for senior Navy stakeholders.
 * You thrive in fastpaced, collaborative environments supporting complex, multistakeholder programs.
 * You are willing to travel up to 20% to support shipboard events, operator engagements, and fleet introduction activities.
