Responsibilities

Armada is seeking an Infrastructure Lead to own day-to-day Department of Defense (DoD)/Department of War (DoW) infrastructure workstreams and to serve as a primary technical voice on federal capture. This is a senior individual contributor role. You will not manage a team on day one. You will influence product, manufacturing, deployment, capture, and customer stakeholders across every DoD/DoW opportunity and awarded program you touch.
This is a hands-on, high-expectation role in a fast-growing, mission-critical environment. You will determine your own methods on new assignments, exercise judgment across ambiguous and sensitive requirements, and make decisions with imperfect information. You are the person who makes sure what we propose to the Department can be manufactured, transported, installed, commissioned, and sustained.
Location. United States (Remote) with expected travel to the Washington, D.C., customer sites, Armada offices, fabrication partners, and deployment locations.
DoD / DoW workstream ownership
Own day-to-day execution of assigned DoD/DoW infrastructure workstreams, from early customer engagement through deployment and sustainment.
Establish operating rhythms, KPIs, risk registers, and accountability mechanisms so federal infrastructure delivery is predictable, not reactive.
Translate mission requirements into scalable product and deployment patterns.
Balance classified and unclassified customer needs while protecting a unified core product architecture across Galleon, Leviathan, and the Armada Platform.
RFI / RFP technical engagement
Lead technical engagement on DoD/DoW RFIs, RFPs, and similar proposals for infrastructure and edge-compute opportunities.
Shape technical volumes, compliance matrices, bases of estimate, and solution narratives with Capture, Federal Product, Customer Engineering, and Legal.
Conduct customer technical exchanges, site surveys, and capability briefings. Translate warfighter, installation, and program-office problems into specific, actionable requirements.
