Intern Remote Tinker Air Force Base Jobs (NOW HIRING)

THE COMPANY
Silvus Technologies, a leading provider of advanced MANET and MIMO communications systems, is reshaping mesh network technology for mission-critical applications - on the ground, in the air and at sea. Its battle-proven StreamCaster family of MANET radios and proprietary MN-MIMO waveform provides the vital communications link for defense, law enforcement and public safety agencies around the world, and in the toughest operational environments.
With deep roots in DARPA research, Silvus Technologies develops world-class advanced communications technologies that are reshaping the tactical communications landscape. From pure line-of-sight to extreme non-line-of-sight, Silvus radios form a self-healing, self-forming mesh network, enabling secure and reliable connectivity, including video and high-bandwidth data.
Silvus Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, Inc.
Would you like to join an incredibly talented group of people, doing very challenging work, with the prime directive of "Keeping Our Heroes Connected"?
Following its acquisition by Motorola Solutions, Silvus is entering a new phase of scale and strategic impact. We are expanding our Strategic Growth organization to shape demand early, influence requirements, and embed Silvus technologies into future programs of record across the U.S. Department of Defense.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Silvus is seeking a Market Development Executive, U.S. Air Force & Space Force who will report to the Vice President of Strategic Growth on the Sales team. The successful individual in this role will serve as Silvus' senior market-shaping leader across the air and space enterprise. This role is responsible for influencing capability requirements, strengthening advocacy within major modernization and advanced battle management programs, and driving long-term strategic engagement across AFLCMC, Space Systems Command, operational wings, and mission partners.
This position is not transactional sales. Instead, this is a strategic influence role - focused on shaping demand, positioning Silvus Technologies early in emerging programs, and ensuring transitions to Business Development and Capture teams for downstream execution.
