From the Arctic to the Indo-Pacific, Somewear’s technology is trusted by those operating on the edge of connectivity to keep teams in touch, informed, and safe. Our mission is to save lives by enabling critical communications for the world’s most important teams.
We’re seeking a mission-driven Capture Manager to lead go-to-market and growth efforts across U.S. Army and conventional forces, with a focus on unmanned and autonomous systems. This role will align Somewear’s capabilities to emerging Army modernization priorities across UxS, counter-UAS, and distributed formations, while working closely with system integrators and OEM partners to embed our solutions into broader architectures and programs.

  • Build and manage relationships with stakeholders across Army program offices, units, labs, system integrators, and OEMs

  • Position Somewear’s capabilities within formation-level use cases, including dismounted operations, unmanned integration, and edge networking

  • Align solutions to Army modernization priorities such as SWaP-C, DDIL environments, open architecture (MOSA), and system-of-systems integration

  • Strong familiarity with unmanned systems (UAS, UGV, USV), autonomy concepts, and tactical edge operations

  • Experience working with or alongside system integrators and OEMs within defense programs

  • Working knowledge of Army acquisition structures, including PAEs/CPEs and organizations like PIT

  • Understanding of Army funding and acquisition pathways (OTA, SBIR, program of record, rapid acquisition)
