Who We Are
Fuse builds innovative communications, networking, and computing solutions that improve the sharing of information, video, text, and voice among operators distributed throughout airborne, maritime, and ground environments. Founded in 2010, we are a veteran-owned, rapidly growing small business based in San Diego. We are an emerging leader in creating in-house software, network, and hardware solutions that support our noble cause of advancing warfighter capabilities with elegant, user-focused systems.
Placing the warfighter at the center of every design process, Fuse delivers intuitive, agile, and resilient products that go beyond national security requirements—providing lasting utility and game-changing results. We take pride in our brilliant and talented team as well as our dynamic, collaborative, and creative environment.
About the Role
Do you thrive in innovative, design-driven environments with a high level of both accountability and trust? Are you passionate about delivering elegant hardware solutions with the right amount of engineering rigor? If so, we want to hear from you.
Fuse is looking for a technically savvy, driven, hands-on Project Manager with a "get it done" mindset to lead the development, integration, and demonstration of advanced communications and networking technologies. In this role, you will oversee and manage all aspects of project execution and provide strategic guidance to the team and stakeholders. Our work focuses on DoD network and tactical communications, providing a variety of communications abilities to USN, USAF, and USMC platforms, including tactical data links, line-of-sight and beyond line-of-sight radios, and crossbanding of IP data.
Warfighter-focused design and development is at the heart of Fuse processes. Throughout Fuse development, our experienced team applies the best practices of commercial design-thinking, coupled to the DoD systems engineering framework. The combination of commercially proven design with rigorous systems engineering gives Fuse the ability to rapidly design, develop, and field solutions well inside of typical military design cycles. We rapidly innovate, putting creative concepts into action and refining those concepts through hands-on testing, user evaluation, and iterations.
Hiring Process
We are seeking a nimble self-starter who is excited about technology and has the ability to think out of the box and suggest powerful new ideas. Candidates must be U.S. citizens with a current US SECRET Clearance or the ability to obtain one.
Equal Opportunity
Fuse is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. We value the unique perspectives and experiences that our team brings to solving complex national security challenges for our warfighters at the tactical edge.
