Field Operations & Integration Manager

Sine Engineering builds the technology behind reliable drone autonomy - communications, navigation, and control that keep multi-drones coordinated at once. Over 200 UAV manufacturers rely on our systems, and our technology powers most of the interceptor operations active today. Through a dual-use platform, we support civilian innovation while helping democratic nations strengthen their technological edge.

Any drone, any scale, anywhere - resilient communication, navigation, and coordination built for the age of autonomy.

We are seeking a Field Operations & Integration Manager to own technology integration and adoption for military end users- from initial technical requests through field deployment, unit training, and feedback-driven product improvements.

Responsibilities

• Own the full integration cycle for military clients, from initial technical requests and field feedback through implementation and deployment.

• Shape and manage technical requests from military stakeholders; translate field needs into structured requirements and clearly defined scopes for engineering teams.

• Support technology adoption within military units by organizing training sessions, acceptance testing, and hands-on onboarding for end users.

• Plan and coordinate field deployments, including schedules, logistics, equipment readiness, warehouse preparedness, and stakeholder assignments.

• Synchronize the work of pilots, engineers, R&D, and logistics teams.

• Maintain task tracking across platforms, product versions, and modifications.

• Systematize field feedback, issues, and incidents; drive resolution in partnership with engineering and R&D teams.

• Lead regular status meetings, monitor deadlines, and ensure timely updates on project progress.

• Establish and maintain documentation processes, including reports, checklists, change logs, and lessons learned.
  

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience managing technical projects (experience with hardware, drones, R&D, or systems integration is a plus).

• Experience working with physical products and a strong understanding of the technical lifecycle, including production, integration, testing, and flight operations.

• Proven ability to convert ambiguous field feedback into structured requirements and clearly defined project scopes.

• Strong planning and organizational skills, including experience managing timelines, logistics, and documentation workflows.

• Excellent communication skills with technical, operational, and product teams, as well as strong stakeholder management capabilities.

• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in fast-changing environments while maintaining a high level of ownership and accountability.

• Willingness and ability to travel regularly and work in field environments.
  

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience working on military, defense, or critical infrastructure projects.
