Spektrum
Spektrum supports apex purchasers (NATO, UN, EU and National Government and Defence) and their Tier 1 supplier ecosystem with a wide range of specialist services. We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise.
Who We Are Supporting : Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is NATO’s leading agent for change: driving, facilitating, and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance.
The Program : Capability Development & Management Support (CDMS) - DCOS Capability Development (CAPDEV) acts as the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation's Director for guidance, direction and coordination of the activities and resources of the Capability Development Directorate.
The Requirements Division
will execute all tasks and activities needed to support requirements management for NATO capabilities. The Capability Requirements (CR) Branch will develop the Capability Requirements Brief and recommended courses of action to resolve issues through the life cycle management of requirements using matrixed, cross-functional project-specific Requirements Management teams. Role Duties And Responsibilities : Deliver hardware and integrated technology solutions to support small-scale innovation projects in domains such as robotics, autonomous systems, IoT, radio links, and sensing. Support operational use of these solutions in experimentation and contribute to rapid adoption of new technologies in military contexts. Design and prototype electronic and electromechanical components using 3D printing, PCB design, soldering, and related fabrication methods. Integrate electronics with software and networks, ensuring secure and resilient system behavior. Apply knowledge of AI on the edge, machine vision, and advanced sensors to practical solutions. Document solutions in clear technical documentation, user/admin guides, and step-by step instructions in platforms such as Confluence. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including software developers and operational users, to deliver integrated solutions. Maintain awareness of technology trends (robotics, IoT, AI, sensing, automation) and evaluate applicability to NATO missions. Employ Agile, Design Thinking, and iterative prototyping methods to explore and validate innovative concepts. Perform additional tasks as directed by the COTR related to innovation support. Travel on official business in support of ACT both within and outside NATO’s boundaries for up to 30 days per year. Essential Skills And Experience : Professional experience integrating and customizing electronics for robotics, IoT, sensing, or other austere applications. Professional experience in integrating electronics with networks and software. Proven track record in robotics, IoT, automation platforms (e.g., ROS, industrial IoT, home automation). Experience with AI on the edge, machine vision, and advanced sensor integration. Strong practical skills in prototyping and fabrication (3D printing, soldering, wiring, PCB design, schematic drafting). Demonstrated ability to design and implement secure, resilient, and scalable electronic systems incorporating security and redundancy. Ability to document solutions effectively in user/admin guides, manuals, or platforms such as Confluence. Proven ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional and interdisciplinary teams (esp. software developers and operators) Familiarity with Agile and Design Thinking practices applied to prototyping and user centric experimentation. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and collaborative software Education : Relevant degree in Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, Mechatronics, or related discipline. Language Proficiency : Advanced Proficiency in English Working Location : Norfolk, VA, USA Working Policy : On-Site Contract Duration : January 2026 – December 2030 Security Clearance : Valid National or NATO Secret personal security clearance
