At Expedition Technology (EXP), we build technology that is meant to be used.

Our customers operate in complex mission environments where success depends on more than technical performance. New capabilities must fit into planning processes, operational workflows, training pipelines, and real-world decision-making. The most successful technologies are not just delivered to customers, they become trusted tools that operators use every day.

We are looking for someone who understands that world firsthand.

As an Operational Integration Lead, you will help bridge the gap between mission operators and technology developers. You will work directly with military users, mission planners, and government stakeholders while partnering closely with Expedition's engineers, program teams, Mission Leads, Operations Leads, and Business Development team.

This role is especially well suited to someone with experience supporting military mission planning, targeting, command and control, operational planning, joint operations, expeditionary operations, or similar mission-focused environments.

Experience working with Marine Corps organizations is particularly valuable, though experience supporting joint planning environments or other military services may also be applicable
