Position Title: Director, Space Business Development At Trident Systems Space Electronic Systems (SES) division, we believe in the power of using strong engineering principles to drive innovation and solve complex problems. We foster a culture of rigorous engineering and continuous improvement, leveraging the full knowledge of our organization through collaborative product development processes that include design and peer reviews. We combine our expertise in space electronics with right-sized development processes to create innovative, high-performance space-based electronic systems that meet our customers' evolving needs. We are a mission partner supporting DoD, Intelligence Community, and Civil space customers. We develop complex, radiation effects mitigated, designs that balance competing requirements in modern space programs, delivering cutting-edge solutions that enable our customers to achieve more in space. Position Summary Trident Space Electronics Systems (SES) seeks a strategic, highly autonomous, and growth-oriented leader to serve as Director, Business Development for our RF & Digital Systems (RDS) business area.

You will navigate complex national security procurement landscapes and outmaneuver competitors by blending deep technical literacy in RF and digital space systems with elite business development acumen. While this role has no direct reports, you will exert significant influence and matrixed leadership across technical, operational, and executive teams to drive corporate revenue growth.
