Scott Thompson Joins Integer as Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager

Please join us in welcoming Scott Thompson as Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering Manager!

Scott will be based out of Clarksville, Tenn., and focused on the Cyber-Physical Resilience capability within our digital engineering portfolio. He will lead our team working to increase the cyber resilience of physical assets — unmanned maritime vehicles, robotic systems, and industrial controls — that are critical to mission performance for our military and industry customers.

Scott brings over 30 years of leadership in technical management, cybersecurity, and training. A seasoned expert in cyber operations, he’s led high-stakes, time-sensitive planning efforts against some of the world’s most advanced cyber threats. Notably, he played a critical role in developing training capabilities and planning cyber exercises at U.S. Cyber Command, where he served as a Planning Officer for the Cyber National Mission Force.

Scott’s prior roles also include Senior Cybersecurity Policy and Compliance Analyst at Booz Allen Hamilton and Assistant Professor of Naval Science at The Citadel.

A retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander with 25 years of service in Navy Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical systems, Scott later earned a master’s in Cyber Forensics from Stevenson University. Most recently, he was a Cybersecurity Manager at CACI, where he specialized in Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Operational Technology, and visualization using gaming engines like Unity. His team supported large-scale Navy programs, implementing NIST 800-53 and other cybersecurity standards.

Some of his key achievements at CACI include:

• Developing the “Bricks-in-the-Loop” ICS/SCADA training environment
• Leading a team building a 3D software-based Information Warfare Integration Platform for the United States Air Force
• Managing cybersecurity for a major ACAT II Navy contract.

“Joining Integer is an incredible opportunity to get back into the realm of cyber-physical resilience with a gifted team of engineers,” said Scott. “Operational Technology and control systems have always been a space where I’ve found purpose and impact. The chance to collaborate with Integer’s academic partners is especially exciting. Everyone I’ve met so far has been incredibly smart and welcoming. I’m confident this new adventure will be a fun one!”

Outside of work, Scott enjoys life on his small family farm in Tennessee — raising chickens, geese, and bees (they make their own mead!). The family hopes to add alpacas to the mix soon!
