Location:

Chicago, IL or San Francisco, CA. Clearance requirement: U.S. Persons only (Citizens or Permanent Residents).

• Lead cross-functional programs focused on integrating Somewear’s communications and data-routing capabilities into uncrewed systems (air, ground, maritime).
• Drive product roadmap and lifecycle from idea to production scale for uncrewed systems across Somewear’s entire stack.
• Collaborate with go-to-market team members to develop and refine contract and other submissions for programmatic funding opportunities.
• Own program execution for government-funded R&D initiatives with a focus on uncrewed systems, including timeline, milestone, and deliverable management in coordination with customer stakeholders.
• Partner with mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing engineers to deliver reliable, field-ready solutions that meet the rugged demands of uncrewed and autonomous platforms.
• Coordinate integration efforts with third-party uncrewed platform providers and government end users to ensure ease of adoption.
• Build and maintain strong technical relationships with key customers and vendors in the defense and aerospace ecosystem.

• Proven experience managing product development in a startup environment with a strong bias to action.
• Deep hands-on experience with uncrewed systems (e.g., Group 1-5 UAS).
• Familiarity with SDK development and API-based integration strategies for embedded systems.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to create clarity from ambiguity — synthesize customer feedback and first-principles thinking into crisp priorities that align engineering, operations, product, GTM, and customers.
• Technical fluency to partner with customers and engineers in shaping deployment and integration plans.
• Experience developing and executing proposals for US government-funded programs (SBIR, APFIT, CRADA, etc.) is a strong plus.

• You’ll own mission-critical product development from concept to delivery.
• You’ll have a leading hand in crafting our end-to-end solutions for a new GTM offering.
• You’ll work with a high-caliber, driven team that moves fast and supports one another relentlessly.
