Job description
Metrea delivers effects-as-a-service to national security partners across five domains and more than a dozen mission areas. These include airborne ISR, electronic warfare, secure communications, aerial refueling, special air missions, aerial firefighting, and advanced simulation. We own the whole stack: designing, building, and operating turnkey capabilities that give our partners decisive, asymmetric advantage against rapidly evolving threats.
Our operating model is built around three interlocking pillars. The Support Groups provide a global shared-service - spanning people, finance, platform, operations, legal, and engagement. This frees up our Core Groups, who develop and own mission capabilities end-to-end, to focus entirely on delivery. The Market Groups apply a regional lens, ensuring that our agile and adaptable capabilities remain aligned to the wicked problems that matter most to our partners across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.
At the heart of our model is a simple but powerful idea: be a true partner with skin in the game. Our partners need effects, not just equipment. By owning the full stack - from the lab to the field - we are able to drive a continuous cycle of innovation that keeps our partners ahead. It's a fast-moving, intellectually demanding environment where talented people are given real responsibility, work on problems that matter, and contribute to an enterprise that is growing quickly and deliberately.
Headquartered in Washington, DC, with facilities across the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Continental Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Group Overview
The Americas Market Group is responsible for identifying wicked problems facing national security customers in the Americas and then working with Metrea's core and support groups to design, develop, and deliver elegant solutions. The group includes capability areas for Strategy, Strategic Relations, Market Development, and Bid, Proposal, & Support.
Position Summary
This role leverages deep experience in Airborne ISR to design and develop elegant solutions to the hardest problems in aerospace (civil and military, manned and unmanned). As a Development Lead you have a deep understanding of Air domain effects, sensors and capabilities, the missions they are employed within and the markets and customers that require them.

- Identify market demand or solutions to our customer's problems - lead the capture activity to generate compelling and compliant proposals that maximize our p(Win)
- Work with Metrea's core and support groups to design, develop, and deliver elegant solutions for government partners, including evaluating manned and unmanned airborne platforms, sensors for those platforms, communications infrastructure, and PED/analysis as required
- As a Development Lead you will work closely with colleagues in other domains e.g. Cyber, EW, and Simulation to create truly unique effects as a service. You will also work with our lab teams to help transition concepts into products or abilities that can be employed by our manned and unmanned assets
- Work with industry to understand the best available current and future technology across all aspects of ISR solution delivery, and to identify potential industry partners
- Turn prospects into programs - work with program managers to ensure our services are constantly evolving to cement our incumbency and stay at the leading edge of what is possible
- A broad and deep understanding of Air domain sensors and abilities, and experience with bringing them to bear on manned and unmanned platforms
- Broad experience of Air domain missions. Emphasis is on Manned Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (MAISR), experience of broader Air domain mission sets e.g. Aerial Fire Fighting, Air to Air Refueling, Strategic Transport and Mobility is desirable
- Experienced in developing or delivering Air domain developmental or operational solutions to national security partners
- Some experience preferred in leading complex Air domain bids and in generating bid quality technical content
- 10+ combined experience in Aerospace and Defense. A mix of military and civil experience is preferred
- Must have operational experience in a relevant mission, ideally an ISR or Law Enforcement (LE) role with a military or government customer
- The ability to create high quality, technically sound written work to a deadline in support of bids and proposals is essential

Our Firmware
At Metrea, our single core value is Rooted in Humility, and our four cornerstone attributes are Entrepreneurial, Systematic, Discerning, and Over-Deliver. These form what we call our Teammate Firmware. Just like technical firmware connects software and hardware, our Firmware is the constant interface between our mission and our people. It defines how we show up, how we work together, and how we solve complex problems.
Our team Firmware creates a web-like, hyper-collaborative, dynamically hierarchical way of working that helps us adapt quickly, communicate openly, and distribute decision-making to where expertise actually lives. It enables groups to self-organize around hard problems, shift fluidly as priorities evolve, and operate with the trust, curiosity, and discipline required in a complex mission space. This foundation allows us to deliver elegant, effective solutions and uphold our purpose: protecting our precious inheritance.
