Key skills for this role
Spear AI is a growing defense contracting company dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that support our nation’s security. As we expand, we’re building a culture where innovation meets mission-critical work. We operate with a flat organizational structure that empowers every team member to make an impact, collaborate directly with leadership, and contribute to projects that matter. Whether you’re joining our Hardware, Software, or Services division, you’ll work alongside talented professionals who are committed to excellence and advancing the capabilities that keep our nation safe and secure.
Spear AI builds sonobuoy sensors that are deployed into the water and collect edge data. We also work with the U.S. Navy to collect and process their SONAR data. You’ll have an opportunity to work on real-world projects that directly impact warfighter capabilities and mission success.
We’re a small team wearing many hats, and you’d have a wide variety of responsibilities that include:
· Bring combatant command targeting expertise to bear across the Joint Targeting Cycle
· Identify integration opportunities between operational workflows, data sources, and AI-enabled capabilities
· Apply advanced, systems-level target development (target system analysis) to shape capability direction
· Translate operational targeting processes into developer-consumable workflows, requirements, and user stories
· Communicate architectural tradeoffs, technical risks, integration constraints, and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
· Coordinate across operational users, platform owners, and technical development teams
· Maintain awareness of theater-level targeting coordination across joint and service organizations
· Work with joint targeting tools, intelligence platforms, and data environments, and their governance and ownership structures
