Technologies and Experimentation Integrator

Responsibilities

The Technologies and Experimentation Integrator will play a pivotal role as a member of the Enhanced Program Integration in Combatant Commands (EPIC) Team, accelerating the transition of cutting-edge DARPA technologies to the warfighter. EPIC serves as the connective tissue between DARPA's portfolio of breakthrough technologies and the warfighter, acting as the agency’s primary integrator for Combatant Command (CCMD) engagements. The team's mission is to identify, define, and rapidly prototype solutions for the military's most pressing operational challenges by embedding DARPA technologies into CCMD exercises and war plans. This direct collaboration is designed to accelerate the integration of technology by demonstrating its value to the end user and creating data-driven justification for funding and adoption.

The integrator will be responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of DARPA programs, strategically coordinating transition activities, diligently tracking financial milestones, and serving as a key liaison between DARPA and CCMDs.
