ABMS Integration Lead

Roles & Responsibilities

• Lead the MITRE team in planning, coordination, execution, and assessment of ABMS Integration Events (AIEs) supporting Department of the Air Force Battle Network modernization.
• Collaborate closely with ABMS Branch leadership, the ABMS Chief Engineer, the 96th Test Squadron, operational stakeholders, acquisition organizations, and MITRE technical teams to develop integrated event objectives and execution plans.
• Serve as the primary integration lead responsible for synchronizing capabilities across ABMS product lines and preparing for future cross-division integration.
• Develop mission-thread driven integration events that validate end-to-end operational capability rather than individual system performance.
• Lead planning for multi-enclave experimentation, risk reduction activities, integration demonstrations, and formal test events.
• Define and coordinate micro-events and mini-events that progressively reduce technical and integration risk prior to major integration events.
• Identify integration dependencies, shared infrastructure requirements, common services, and cross-product coordination activities independent of individual branch capability development.
• Establish and maintain persistent integration environments that enable continuous system-of-systems integration and repeatable testing.
• Coverage of configuration management, infrastructure readiness, resource availability, and event scheduling across participating organizations.
• Promote automation to improve integration, deployment, validation, and event execution efficiency.
• Validate that systems-of-systems engineering processes enable successful integration across product lines.
• Assess enterprise architecture implementation through integrated mission execution and identify architectural gaps requiring sponsor attention.
• Develop technical recommendations that improve interoperability, resiliency, architecture implementation, and mission effectiveness.
• Communicate integration status, technical risks, mitigation strategies, and operational outcomes to senior government leadership and MITRE management.

Basic Qualifications

• Typically requires a minimum of 10 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 8 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD with 5 years’ experience; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.
• Demonstrated technical leadership integrating complex systems-of-systems within Department of Defense environments.
• Experience planning and executing large-scale integration, experimentation, demonstration, or operational test events.
• Strong knowledge of systems engineering, systems integration, interoperability, and enterprise architectures.
• Experience coordinating across multiple government organizations, acquisition programs, engineering teams, and operational stakeholders.
• Experience supporting command and control, distributed systems, data integration, or enterprise networking initiatives.
• Demonstrated ability to translate operational mission needs into integrated technical objectives.
• Strong organizational, communication, and collaboration skills with demonstrated success leading without direct authority.
• Ability to identify technical risks, integration dependencies, and mitigation strategies across large engineering portfolios.
• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), Department of the Air Force Battle Network (DBN), Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), or Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).
• Experience working with the 96th Test Squadron, developmental test organizations, or operational test communities.
• Knowledge of Dynamic Targeting, Integrated Air and Missile Defense, or other Joint operational mission threads.
• Experience establishing persistent integration environments and continuous integration/continuous test capabilities.
• Familiarity with digital engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), DevSecOps, and automated test pipelines.
• Experience supporting enterprise architecture validation and systems-of-systems engineering.
• 15 years of experience in the field.
• Experience with the Information Technology Stack (e.g. - cloud, network, data platform).
• Familiarity with cybersecurity and information assurance risk assessment processes.
