Scientific Systems has expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Dan Javorsek as chief strategy officer and the addition of Louis Dube and Nick Dille to senior growth leadership roles, the company announced Wednesday.
Scientific Systems CEO Kunal Mehra said the appointments are intended to strengthen the company’s ability to deliver intelligent, operationally relevant autonomy technologies to the warfighter.
“They also bring the experience and leadership needed to help scale the company as demand for our capabilities continues to increase,” Mehra said.
Who Is Dan Javorsek?
Javorsek joins Scientific Systems following senior positions across the defense technology sector and the U.S. Air Force. He will help guide the company’s strategy for autonomous systems in air, land, maritime and space environments.
He most recently served as chief engineer at Applied Intuition. He was president of EpiSci when Applied Intuition acquired the autonomy software provider in 2025.
Before joining the industry, Javorsek was commander of Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center Detachment 6, director of the F-35 United Operational Test Team and a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, overseeing advanced artificial intelligence and autonomy initiatives. A retired Air Force officer, he was also an experimental test pilot for the F-22 and F-16.
What Roles Will the New Growth Leaders Play?
As senior director of growth for aviation, Dube will focus on expanding customer relationships supporting aviation autonomy and human-machine teaming. He brings more than 17 years of experience with DARPA programs and Air Force test activities and most recently served as vice president of air combat autonomy at EpiSci, where he helped develop production-ready autonomy technologies for Group 4 and 5 drones.
Dille will serve as senior director of growth for tactical programs, drawing on 25 years of military and industry experience to lead growth initiatives for the company’s small unmanned aircraft system portfolio. He will focus on building strategic partnerships and identifying new business opportunities that support evolving autonomous systems requirements.
The hires come as Scientific Systems continues to scale its autonomy business and expand its footprint in the defense market. The company opened a 28,000-square-foot headquarters in Burlington, Massachusetts, in late 2024 after doubling its workforce over the previous three years and securing multiple military contracts.
