About the role

Company Overview

Metrea delivers effects-as-a-service to national security partners across five domains and more than a dozen mission areas. These include airborne ISR, electronic warfare, secure communications, aerial refueling, special air missions, aerial firefighting, and advanced simulation. We own the whole stack: designing, building, and operating turnkey capabilities that give our partners decisive, asymmetric advantage against rapidly evolving threats.

Our operating model is built around three interlocking pillars. The Support Groups provide a global shared-service – spanning people, finance, platform, operations, legal, and engagement. This frees up our Core Groups, who develop and own mission capabilities end-to-end, to focus entirely on delivery. The Market Groups apply a regional lens, ensuring that our agile and adaptable capabilities remain aligned to the wicked problems that matter most to our partners across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.

At the heart of our model is a simple but powerful idea: be a true partner with skin in the game. Our partners need effects, not just equipment. By owning the full stack – from the lab to the field – we are able to drive a continuous cycle of innovation that keeps our partners ahead. It's a fast-moving, intellectually demanding environment where talented people are given real responsibility, work on problems that matter, and contribute to an enterprise that is growing quickly and deliberately.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, with facilities across the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Continental Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Group Overview

The Electromagnetic and Cyber Group (EM&C) develops and builds systems for communications and RF sensing. Within EM&C, RADLAB is our radar capability area. RADLAB is a small team building novel capabilities from the ground up, taking ideas from physics and math through simulation, prototype, and test.

Position Summary

Reporting to the Head, EM&C, the H/ASIG, is responsible for leading, coaching, mentoring, and guiding a forward leaning, Radio Frequency (RF) focused engineering team in the development of its specialized products and support to the larger Metrea enterprise. The H/ASIG will focus upon key strategic goals while simultaneously tracking and reporting technical developmental progress to Metrea Aerospace Management (MAM) executive leadership. The H/ASIG must possess a strong knowledge and experience working with RF systems supporting all-domain operations and shall possess organizational design and leadership experience in RF products and its customers, which extends to the establishment of company policies and culture. An understanding of enterprise agility and its application to the organization is a must.

In addition to inward facing execution, H/ASIG will meet with external customers and partners to further Metrea’s success. Frequent travel and face-to-face business development may be required.

As a member of the senior management team, the H/ASIG must have leadership and managerial responsibilities that demand clear communication and presentation skills, as well as the ability to develop trusting relationships with senior and junior teammates across the enterprise. This position provides the opportunity to grow business knowledge in a dynamic, ever-evolving aerospace company.
