Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager

About the role

Integer Technologies is currently hiring a Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager reporting to the Director of Cyber Engineering. This role is located in Tallahassee, FL, leading joint work with Florida State University’s Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) as part of a Navy‑funded cyber‑physical security program. 

The Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager will serve as Principal Investigator (PI) on large, multi-year cyber research programs with an emphasis on Zero Trust Architecture development, cyber‑physical resilience research, and threat informed defensive methods for naval power systems.  This will include leading and managing technical research efforts, including developing cyber‑resiliency frameworks for embedded control systems, coordinating modeling and simulation environments for mission level assessment, and managing task interdependencies between different parts of the program. 

Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able to conduct research, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand. The Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager must be able to serve as a Principal Investigator and a technical contributor with a technical background to contribute to the development of new technologies and prototypes.  The candidate must be able to oversee university partners, manage Navy stakeholder interactions, coordinate deliverables and SOW‑aligned milestones, and lead multidisciplinary teams in cyber‑physical research execution. 

What you'll do

• Lead a team performing cyber physical system modeling, cyber risk analysis, dynamic cyber defense research, and feasibility studies for Navy relevant power systems. 

• Direct research into AI/ML based anomaly detection methods for embedded systems, including Bayesian, graph based, and adversarial approaches. 

• Manage integration of university driven research into power system security workflows. 

• Oversee design and execution of bench scale experiments, digital modeling environments, and controlled field demonstrations to validate cyber-physical resilience approaches. 

• Provide engineering leadership and management including technical direction, scheduling, deliverable tracking, documentation quality, CUI data security, and coordination with external sponsors and research collaborators. 

• Lead technology transition planning, operator training sessions, and collaboration with Navy and industry partners to scale cyber-physical resilience solutions into operational power systems. 

• Contribute to business development by shaping new research directions, developing technical proposal content, and cultivating relationships with government sponsors. 

Required Qualifications

• U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance. 

• Bachelor’s degree and 8 years of relevant experience, or a master's degree and 5 years of experience, in cybersecurity, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related discipline. 

• Experience leading cyber-physical systems and power systems research involving modeling, simulation, cyber risk assessment, and dynamic cyber defense design. 

• Background with state-of-the-art cybersecurity approaches, including AI/ML based anomaly detection, embedded systems security, and power systems cybersecurity. 

• Experience managing engineering teams and multi-phase R&D programs with complex deliverables. 

• Ability to design and supervise execution of laboratory and field based cyber physical experiments. 

• Excellent communication skills, including documentation of complex technical findings and ability to communicate clearly with new customers and government sponsors. 

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with cyber research for power systems. 

• Proficiency developing digital modeling environments to simulate cyber physical interactions and mission impacts. 

• Experience transitioning technologies to government or industry partners. 

• Familiarity with DoW research program workflows.
