Have I really been on this site for over 20 years!
Rank 2 sounds fine for a Sergeant squad leader of 9 people.
As for squad leader vs. techy that's up to you. I don't want to make that desicion for you.

You've been called to some sort of meeting in the mess hall. The first thing you notice is the smell. Cookie has fired up the kitchen and is taking orders, unusual far outside of normal shift meal times. The second thing you notice is even more unusual. The beer tap is unlocked, usually restricted by a high price to keep the supply from running out.
Captain Samantha Turner enters, She's a attractive yet motherly woman in her late 30's enters.
"Get a drink and grab a seat, I'm gonna spell it out clear. Some of you already know, and the rest of you probably heard whispers. For the last 45 days we've been tracking a craft on an intercept course, a few course changes have shown us that it is not blind luck, it is coming at us. It's flying under false transponders telling us it's a Google Crawler, but it's heat signature shows it's bigger, and it's fusion powered. Now that it's in telescopic range I can tell you that it's packing missiles. They haven't answered radio contact so we can only assume they mean to attack us. They've already began the burn to match our velocity, computer says we've got 96 hours. We can't match it for firepower but we're going to hit them with what we got. Corporate has dispatched backup, but as you know they'll get here in time to pick our corpses out of the debris field. If they mean to take the ship, well, if they mean to take the ship corporate says to protect the cargo. But Frell that, you protect yourself. As for the cargo, I'll take care of that, this is my ship, and while I'm hauling that sludge it's my responcibility not yours."

Jemal, I'll be honest I don't quite know enough to answer the computer questions, my first GURPS game and I've spent all my time studying well, other things.

There'll be a demo expert in the squad with a skill of 13 or 14 we will trust our lives to for that.
