Technical Director

Description

About Us 

eSimplicity is a modern digital services company that partners with government agencies to improve the lives and protect the well-being of all Americans, from veterans and service members to children, families, and seniors. Our engineers, designers, and strategists cut through complexity to create intuitive products and services that equip federal agencies with solutions to courageously transform today for a better tomorrow.  

Our Defense and National Security (DNS) business unit delivers mission-critical technology across spectrum management, electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), C4ISR, AI/ML, and intelligence community (IC) integration — partnering with the Navy, DHS, DoD, and IC customers to solve their hardest problems. We are designers, engineers, analysts, thinkers, makers, and innovators. Simply. Better. 

Position Overview 

We are seeking a Technical Director for our Defense and National Security business unit — a senior technical executive who will set the technical direction, shape winning solutions, and serve as eSimplicity's external voice of authority across the DNS mission space. Reporting to the DNS General Manager, the Technical Director partners with program directors, capture and proposal leaders, and customer stakeholders to translate complex defense and intelligence mission needs into credible, differentiated technical approaches. 

This is a hybrid leadership and thought-leadership role. Internally, you will provide strategic technical oversight and ensure architectural delivery excellence and growth across a spectrum of engineering and electronic warfare system integrations across Defense and National Security agencies. 

Externally, you will represent eSimplicity in customer engagements, industry forums, and teaming conversations with partners such as Palantir, and position the firm as a trusted technical authority in spectrum, EMSO, C4ISR, and mission-focused AI/ML. 

The ideal candidate brings deep domain authority in one or more DNS anchor areas: RF/EW/spectrum operations, C4ISR-targeting, or AI/ML mission acquisition plus the executive presence to engage at the flag, SES, and C-suite level. Candidates with strong RF/EW/spectrum credentials are especially encouraged to apply, reflecting the strategic importance of the spectrum mission to DNS's growth. 

This role follows a hybrid schedule. Employees are required to work on-site Tuesdays and Thursdays, with remote work on other days as business needs allow.

Responsibilities 

• Set the technical direction for DNS. Own the technical vision, architecture standards, and solution quality across the DNS portfolio. Partner with program leaders to ensure delivery teams are applying the right approaches to spectrum, EMSO, C4ISR, AI/ML, and IC mission system challenges. 
• Drive thought leadership in RF/EW/spectrum and adjacent mission domains. Represent eSimplicity as a recognized technical voice in spectrum management, electromagnetic spectrum operations, spectrum sharing, and related emerging policy and technology areas (e.g., NTIA spectrum auction modernization, post-quantum readiness, agentic AI for mission workflows). Advance the state-of-the-art in spectrum dominance by architecting solutions that leverage latest commercial inventions in automation and AI to revolutionize spectrum sharing studies and licensing processes. Publish, speak, and engage customers and partners to extend the firm's authority. 
• Shape winning solutions. Serve as the senior technical author and solution owner on strategic pursuits and priority proposals. Collaborate with Capture, Solution Strategy, and Chief Solutions Architect leaders to define win themes, discriminators, and technical approaches that are compliant, compelling, and executable. Specifically, you will design automated pipelines that utilize AI to accelerate interference analysis and spectrum coexistence modeling, bringing a "next-level" competitive edge to our technical offerings. 
• Serve as the customer-facing senior technical executive. Build and sustain trusted relationships with technical counterparts across Navy (NMSC, NIWDC, NAVWAR), DHS (CBP, USCIS), Air Force, DISA, FCC, and IC customers. Lead technical discussions on customer engagements, program reviews, and executive briefings. 
• Lead technical governance across the portfolio. Establish and maintain technical review gates, architecture and engineering standards, and lessons-learned processes that raise the floor of technical quality across DNS programs. Chair Technical Review Boards for strategic programs. 
• Advance eSimplicity's AI/ML and agentic
