Fleet Support Engineer (LVC) TS clearance required

This position requires an ACTIVE DoD security clearance. Applicants who do not currently hold an active clearance will not be considered.

At PMAT, we work on mission critical systems that directly support the warfighter, designing, building, and securing modern digital capabilities across cloud, data, and software environments. Our teams tackle complex, real-world challenges where delivery matters more than theory, and innovation is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and purpose.

In this role, you’ll contribute to Naval Operational Architecture (NOA), working alongside engineers and operators to deliver resilient, forward-leaning solutions in support of national defense.

About the role: PMAT is seeking a highly experienced and dynamic Fleet Engagement and Integration Lead to support the delivery of advanced information warfare capabilities to our Naval, Joint, and Coalition warfighters. This role contributes to operational training and exercise support to ensure shipboard and command staffs are trained and ready to employ emerging capabilities in support of Project objectives. The candidate will leverage engineering knowledge to support Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) operations across Fleet Experimentation (FLEX), Fleet Reps and Sets, Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), and lab and operational demonstrations. The role supports cross-functional teams to integrate emerging technologies at U.S. Navy Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs), aboard naval vessels, and across other naval commands, while enhancing coordination across NAVWAR program offices, Fleet elements, and Joint Forces. The candidate will also coordinate with existing Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) teams to enable holistic naval models that inform future network architecture design with Naval and Joint Forces.

Responsibilities:

Plan, coordinate, and execute operational training and exercise support efforts to ensure shipboard and command staffs are trained, proficient, and ready to employ fielded and emerging capabilities in support of Project objectives.

Support Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) operations across Fleet Experimentation (FLEX), Fleet Reps and Sets, Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2), and lab/operational demonstrations, ensuring events are properly scoped, resourced, and aligned to operational outcomes.

Lead day-to-day integration support for emerging technologies at U.S. Navy Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs), aboard naval vessels, and across other naval commands by coordinating activities between engineers, scientists, IT specialists, operators, and program stakeholders.

Coordinate and synchronize cross-functional efforts across NAVWAR program offices, Fleet elements, and Joint Forces to enable the adoption of new warfighting capabilities, manage dependencies, and resolve blockers impacting execution.

Collaborate with Joint, National, and international coalition stakeholders to ensure operational training and exercise efforts are sufficient, coordinated, and responsive to mission needs, including pre-event planning, event execution support, and post-event follow-ups.

Coordinate with existing Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) teams to enable the development of holistic naval models that inform future network architecture design and integration planning across Naval and Joint Forces.

Capture, document, and communicate event objectives, execution details, lessons learned, and recommended improvements to inform future training, demonstrations, and capability fielding activities.

About Us: PMAT is an innovative small business founded with a passion for developing forward-leaning solutions from exceptional people that increase the mission's capability. We focus on designing and building impactful digital solutions that utilize modern cloud, data, and software concepts. Our passion is working on complex and progressive challenges such as edge platform computing, containerizing legacy platforms, distributed data platforms, or heterogeneous data analysis.

We recruit, retain, and foster a team motivated to pursue passions, investigate new ways of doing things, and embody an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. We believe in being curious about every element of a problem and experiment relentlessly. We foster continuous learning in an environment that encourages positive collaboration and expands our capabilities. We tap into collective intelligence, acknowledging that the most brilliant people may not be in the room.  Above all else, we believe that delivering and demonstrating is more potent than a sheet of paper.  We are passionate about mission-centric design and delivering effective capabilities to and for the warfighter.

Whether you’re an experienced engineer or just beginning your career, you’ll work alongside experts who are committed to solving mission-critical problems. If you’re passionate about using your skills to make a real difference, apply today and become part of a team that’s shaping the future of defense technology!

Required Skills and Experience:

Experience supporting systems engineering efforts on complex technical programs.

Experience contributing to Model Based Systems Engineering activities.
