At Expedition Technology (EXP), we build technology that is meant to be used.
Our customers operate in complex mission environments where success depends on more than technical performance. New capabilities must fit into planning processes, operational workflows, training pipelines, and real-world decision-making.

This role is especially well suited to someone with experience supporting military mission planning, targeting, command and control, operational planning, joint operations, expeditionary operations, or similar mission-focused environments.

- Assist with training, onboarding, and customer support activities.
- Help build confidence and trust in EXP capabilities across operational organizations.
- Serve as a trusted interface between operational users and program teams.
- Support customer success efforts that contribute to long-term mission impact and continued program growth.
Shape Requirements and Future Capabilities
- Help identify emerging mission needs and operational challenges.
- Support requirements development and capability prioritization efforts.
- Contribute operational insight to roadmap discussions, proposals, captures, and business-development activities.
- Help Mission Leads and program teams understand where customer missions, operational concepts, and technology trends are heading.
- Ensure operational lessons learned influence future capability development.
What We're Looking For
- Active TS/SCI clearance.
- Experience supporting military operations, mission planning, targeting, command and control, intelligence support, joint operations, expeditionary operations, or related mission functions.
- Experience working directly with operational users and mission stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of how military organizations develop plans, make decisions, and employ capabilities.
- Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and operational audiences.
- Experience building trusted customer relationships.
- Strong communication, facilitation, and relationship-management skills.
- Willingness to travel regularly to customer locations and operational events.
Preferred
- Experience working with Marine Corps organizations is particularly valuable; however, experience across joint, service, or combined military environments is also highly relevant.
- Experience participating in exercises, operational evaluations, demonstrations, or field deployments.
- Experience training users or supporting operational adoption of new capabilities.
- Familiarity with AI/ML-enabled systems, computer vision, sensor processing, mission-planning tools, autonomy, or advanced analytics.
- Experience contributing to requirements generation, concept development, operational assessments, or acquisition activities.
