Igniters operate in the world's most demanding environment. Igniters are self-motivated, mission-driven, and relentless in solving the Warfighters' hardest problems. We move fast, think differently, and execute with precision to tackle high-stakes challenges across AI/ML, space and missile defense intelligence, EMSO, advanced analytics, and programmatic domains. As an employee-owned SDVOSB headquartered in Huntsville, AL, our team delivers mission-critical impact for the Army, Air Force, Space Force, MDA, NASA, DIA, and FBI.
Ignite exists to outpace the threat and deliver results that matter in the moments that count.
Ignite is seeking a Systems Engineer and Technical Advisor to support the Global Tactical Edge Acquisition Directorate (GTEAD), a US Government directorate within the Army acquisition enterprise focused on rapidly fielding mission-critical capability to forces operating at the tactical edge. This is not a back-office engineering seat. The person in this role sits alongside government leadership, translates operational need into executable technical requirements, and keeps sensitive, fast-moving efforts technically sound from concept through fielding.
The ideal candidate has lived on the user side of Army operations, understands how acquisition actually works in a compressed timeline, and can hold a credible technical conversation with an engineer, a contracting officer, and an operator in the same afternoon.
