Role Overview:

Technical Operations Engineers sit at the intersection of technology and real-world mission environments. You’ll ensure CHAOS systems operate flawlessly in the field — integrating hardware and software, diagnosing complex system issues, and delivering rapid fixes and improvements.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic, hands-on settings — comfortable with Linux terminals, network traces, and hardware wiring as much as Python scripts and dashboards. You’ll be embedded with customers, integrating CHAOS systems into existing infrastructure, and ensuring reliability under real-world conditions.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate CHAOS software, sensors, and RF devices with customer systems — both physically (networking, power, and hardware bring-up) and via software interfaces (data pipelines, APIs).
• Debug complex edge issues spanning hardware, software, and networking layers.
• Develop scripts, diagnostics, and automation tools to improve reliability and observability.
• Capture operational feedback and collaborate with internal engineering teams to drive product improvements.
• Document system configurations, troubleshooting steps, and lessons learned for both internal and customer audiences.
• Travel (typically up to 50%) to customer and test sites for deployments, troubleshooting, and mission support.

Minimum Requirements:

• Strong technical foundation with a degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Deep familiarity with Linux environments; comfortable with SSH, networking tools, and system-level debugging.
• Strong problem-solving instincts — able to work independently and under pressure in the field.
• Understanding of networking protocols, hardware interfaces, and distributed system concepts.
• Experience integrating or maintaining hardware or sensor systems.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Willingness and enthusiasm for travel and on-site technical work.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience in systems integration, field engineering, or technical operations for complex deployments.
• Background in defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical environments.
• Familiarity with telemetry, data integration, or IoT-style architectures.
• Understanding of RF systems, SDRs, or radar technologies (highly valued but not required).
• Experience with cloud and edge computing environments (Docker, Azure, AWS, etc.).
• Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to bridge technical and operational perspectives with clarity and composure.

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 5% pension match, life insurance, Cycle to Work Scheme, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses

Role Overview:

“Operations” means different things at different companies. At CHAOS, it means real-world problem solving to help us win. We are building a Business Operations team that will deploy on complex problems involving multiple areas of our business. We will embed with other teams to learn as much as possible about a problem, work together to make it better, and then move on to the next project. You might make sense for this role if: 

• You’ve excelled in a high-execution environment. I don’t care if you’ve done this exact role before, but I do care that you’ve thrived somewhere that expects a lot of you. Examples include specialized military units, top law firms or investment banks, professional sports, world-class musicians, or fast-paced startups. You’ve seen, and contributed to, excellence. Amazing grades at a demanding school is nice, but it’s not enough. Some experience in the workforce is necessary. 
• You’re not afraid of math or software that does math. Almost every problem you deal with will involve math of some sort (counting is math!). You will be expected to come up with ways to measure truth in the business (MBAs call these “metrics”) and look at that truth in many different ways (they call that “analysis”). To do this, you’ll need things like Excel or Palantir Foundry or maybe even some Python. 
• You’re intellectually curious. You read. You read books. You love understanding different parts of the world and you seek out information when things catch your interest. Your projects at CHAOS will never involve a single, narrowly scoped topic. You’ll have to learn about different parts of our business and be curious enough to seek out all the nuances and gray areas. 
• You’re a student of people and how they work. You know that almost every problem involves a people component and that understanding why humans do things and how to get them to change their behavior is often the key to solving problems.  

Responsibilities:

• Work with business units to translate company-level goals into functional objectives and measurable deliverables 
• Design metrics and systems for calculating, tracking, and reporting on those metrics
• Analyze our results and use that analysis to make suggestions for how to improve 
• Deep dive into business areas and become a subject matter expert as quickly as possible 
• Help teams create an operating cadence 
• Resolve execution friction between teams 
• Support executive leadership with prep, analysis, and follow-through 
• Drive accountability without direct authority 
• Act as a trusted operator and problem solver 

Minimum Requirements:

• 3–7+ years in a high-execution role, such as operations, strategy, program management, or consulting 
• Exceptional cross-functional coordination and executive communication 
• Strong analytical and structured thinking 
• Comfortable pushing senior leaders 
• Excellent written and verbal clarity 
• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets 
• Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete data 
• Ability/willingness to travel between our offices (LA/SF/DC) up to once a month 

Preferred Requirements:

• Background in hardware, defense, aerospace, infrastructure, or complex tech environments is a plus 

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses
• Team Growth: 250 employees and counting across 5 global offices

Role Overview:

The Chief of Staff Associate works directly for and reports to the Chief of Staff, operating within the Office of the CEO. This is a high-tempo, high-trust role for a disciplined operator who can take direction, execute to a final standard, and maintain the systems that keep a fast-moving executive function running without constant supervision. The person in this role will carry delegated authority on defined matters and will be expected to exercise sound judgment, protect sensitive information, and produce work that reflects the standards of the office. 

This is not an administrative role. It is an operational and communications role for someone who wants to be close to consequential decisions and is ready to work at the pace the mission demands. 

Responsibilities:

• Operating Rhythm: Own the mechanical infrastructure of the CoS function. Prepare agendas, distribute materials in advance, track action items to closure, and ensure no commitment slips because it lacked an owner.   
• Executive Communications: Draft investor correspondence, internal memos, stakeholder briefings, and leadership talking points to executive-ready standard. The CoS edits and approves. You are not producing starting points; you are producing near-final work. Writing must be clear, structured, and free of filler. 
• Stakeholder and Project Tracking: Maintain a living picture of active engagements, open deliverables, and priority threads across business development, government relations, and leadership operations. Flag risk and slippage proactively. Build and own the systems, not just populate them on request. 
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Represent the CoS and the Office of the CEO in routine coordination with engineering, BD, GR, and operations teams. Move work forward without requiring CoS involvement on every touch. 

This is a full-time, on-site position. 

Minimum Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in a high-tempo operational, communications, or strategy role. Defense, national security, government, or fast-scaling technology company experience strongly preferred. 
• Demonstrated executive-level writing ability. Writing samples required.  
• Proven ability to build and maintain operational tracking systems in a complex, fast-moving environment. 
• Strong judgment. Knows what to decide, what to escalate, and what to protect. Operates with discretion as a default. 
• Bachelor's degree required. Advanced degree or relevant professional experience a plus. 
• Must be located in the Washington, DC metro area or able to relocate prior to start. This is a full-time, on-site position. 
• Must be eligible to obtain a US security clearance. Active clearance not required. 

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code

As the S&T Capture Strategist, you will build and lead CHAOS’ R&D-focused business with DoD and U.S. Government labs and innovation organizations. You will identify and shape early-stage opportunities, align CHAOS technical capabilities to customer problem sets, and drive capture execution from initial customer engagement through award.

You will operate upstream of programs of record. You will develop relationships, shape problem framing, and build transition pathways that connect lab-sponsored R&D to operational sponsors and follow-on funding. You will partner closely with CHAOS engineering teams to ensure customer priorities inform internal roadmaps, and coordinate with Service Growth Leads (Army, Air Force, Navy, etc.) where relevant to expand opportunities and accelerate transition.

Responsibilities:

Market and Capture Strategy (DoD Labs / R&D)

• Conduct continuous opportunity monitoring across R&D solicitation channels (e.g., BAAs, CSOs, SBIR/STTR, consortium/OTA ecosystems, lab solicitations, and open-source tools such as SAM.gov).
• Build and maintain a qualified pipeline of future capability opportunities with DoD/UGS laboratories and innovation organizations.
• Perform customer, program, and competitive research to understand emerging priorities, technical direction, and funding pathways.
• Develop capture plans at both the strategic (portfolio/pipeline) and tactical (opportunity-specific) levels, aligned with business priorities and growth targets.
• Participate in engineering planning sessions to ensure product development efforts are aligned to customer needs and near-term capture priorities.
• Attend and lead customer engagements including program manager meetings, lab visits, industry days, demonstrations, and conferences.

Proposal, White Paper, and Content Development

• Serve as lead on win themes for R&D capture content including abstracts, white papers, and full proposals; drive structure and narrative quality.
• Translate technical approaches into clear, concise, and compelling narratives that directly address customer problem sets and evaluation criteria.
• Coordinate internal and external contributors (engineering, business development, partners) to deliver high-quality submissions on time.

Customer Engagement

• Be where the customer needs us: Pentagon, labs, test sites, and field environments. Build trust through high-touch engagements.
• Support early demonstrations and customer touchpoints to validate concepts, gather feedback, and strengthen the transition case.

Physical Location

• Work full-time onsite out of our Washington D.C. office.
• Regular travel required for lab engagements, customer meetings, demonstrations, industry events, and coordination with Los Angeles HQ (roughly 25–50%).

Minimum Requirements:

• Strong understanding of the U.S. Government acquisition process, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and non-traditional acquisition pathways used for R&D and prototyping.
• Experience supporting Federal R&D proposals/white papers, with demonstrated success capturing complex low TRL awards.
• Experience building trust with technical and operational stakeholders, translating customer needs, and driving aligned internal execution.
• Exceptional communication skills and attention to detail; strong strategic judgment and risk assessment.
• Ability to obtain a Top Secret / Secure Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.

Preferred Requirements:

• Existing U.S. security clearance (Secret or above).
• Direct experience with DoD / USG labs and innovation organizations (e.g., DARPA, ARL, AFRL, ONR), including their solicitation and evaluation norms.
• Experience with BAAs/CSOs, OTA/consortium pathways, and SBIR/STTR execution and transition.
• Technical background or demonstrated fluency in relevant domains (radar, RF, sensing, communications, autonomy, weapons systems).
• Experience transitioning prototypes/R&D efforts into follow-on programs, operational sponsors, or programs of record.

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses
• Team Growth: 200 employees and counting across 5 global offices

The stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits. If your compensation requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply.

CHAOS Inc. is a global technology company delivering next-generation capabilities to the defense and critical industrial sectors. Founded in 2022 by a seasoned leadership team, CHAOS has quickly become the place where world-class multi-disciplinary engineers come to build mission-critical technologies. CHAOS has a mission-focused culture, dedicated to solving the toughest technical challenges. Its unique agile engineering approach enables rapid prototyping, while deep partnerships with defense and industry ensure real-world solutions.

Role Overview:

Technical Operations Engineers sit at the intersection of technology and real-world mission environments. You’ll ensure CHAOS systems operate flawlessly in the field — integrating hardware and software, diagnosing complex system issues, and delivering rapid fixes and improvements.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic, hands-on settings — comfortable with Linux terminals, network traces, and hardware wiring as much as Python scripts and dashboards. You’ll be embedded with customers, integrating CHAOS systems into existing infrastructure, and ensuring reliability under real-world conditions.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate CHAOS software, sensors, and RF devices with customer systems — both physically (networking, power, and hardware bring-up) and via software interfaces (data pipelines, APIs).
• Debug complex edge issues spanning hardware, software, and networking layers.
• Develop scripts, diagnostics, and automation tools to improve reliability and observability.
• Capture operational feedback and collaborate with internal engineering teams to drive product improvements.
• Document system configurations, troubleshooting steps, and lessons learned for both internal and customer audiences.
• Travel (typically up to 50%) to customer and test sites for deployments, troubleshooting, and mission support.

Minimum Requirements:

• Strong technical foundation with a degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Deep familiarity with Linux environments; comfortable with SSH, networking tools, and system-level debugging.
• Strong problem-solving instincts — able to work independently and under pressure in the field.
• Understanding of networking protocols, hardware interfaces, and distributed system concepts.
• Experience integrating or maintaining hardware or sensor systems.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or similar).
• Willingness and enthusiasm for travel and on-site technical work.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience in systems integration, field engineering, or technical operations for complex deployments.
• Background in defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical environments.
• Familiarity with telemetry, data integration, or IoT-style architectures.
• Understanding of RF systems, SDRs, or radar technologies (highly valued but not required).
• Experience with cloud and edge computing environments (Docker, Azure, AWS, etc.).
• Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to bridge technical and operational perspectives with clarity and composure.

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Your medical, dental and vision benefits will be 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: life, FSA, HSA, 401k (+ Company match), and more
• Our Perks: free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code
• Compensation Components: competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance + (coming soon!) annual bonuses
• Company Size: 150 employees and counting!
• More About Us: We're building the next generation of aerospace, defense and critical industry technologies with a seasoned team of mission-focused individuals. We were founded in June 2022 and our goal is to become the platform where world-class engineers come to solve critical, real-world problems. We use agile engineering approaches which enable rapid prototyping, deep partnerships with the defense industry ensuring real-world application, and our newly-invented Coherence platform (through which we’ve made a fundamental breakthrough) improves sensor performance and decision-making in real-time. As of April 2025 we have raised $490M (including a $275M Series C at a $2B valuation) from some of the most prominent VC funds and investors including Accel, NEA, 8VC, and Valar. With a managing team that includes Epirus’ founding members (responsible for building a $1.5B company from scratch) + key drivers from Palantir (instrumental in Palantir’s growth to $1B in revenue), we are well-positioned to become one of the fastest growing companies to date!

The stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits. If your compensation requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
