About this role :

Fuse is a small, fast-moving secure BLOS (beyond-line-of-sight) communications company seeking an experienced veteran who combines operational Air Force bomber experience (preferably former bomber aircrew) with inside knowledge of acquisition / requirements / program offices.

This is a part-time role, initially estimated around 250 hours annually.

What you’ll do :

• Serve as the company’s primary internal / external subject matter lead for all US bomber platforms and missions (B-52 / B-1 / B-2 family of missions, tactics, architectures).
• Translate operational capability gaps into Fuse products and capabilities and feed those to engineering for rapid prototypes / demos.
• Build and maintain relationships with acquisition program offices, requirements offices, operational command staff, test centers, and warfighter SMEs to secure briefings, demo opportunities, and integrated trials.
• Consult on programmatic engagement plans (pilot demos, DT / OT support, planning conferences, mission trials) to validate our BLOS products on bomber platforms.
• Advise on acquisition strategies (other transaction authority, FMS, COTS + integration paths) and help draft acquisition-friendly materials (OV-1 / OV-2 style briefs, demos, test plans).
