  • Drive full lifecycle SE: capability analysis, requirements decomposition, verification objectives, and system specifications for new builds and tech refresh of CANES baselines.
  • Produce enterprise/tactical/system-level architectures aligned to DoD Architecture Framework; author views, interface definitions, and interoperability mappings across enclaves and domains.
  • Lead engineering development: prototype, integrate, and lab-validate network and compute solutions (virtualized data centers, transport, GPON, wireless, SATCOM); mature technology to higher TRLs.
  • Generate core SE artifacts: System Engineering Plans (SEPs), Engineering Implementation Plans (EIPs), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Software Requirements Specifications (SRS), design drawings, BoMs, and STEDPs/BESEPs/IDPs for installation approval.
  • Plan and support Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), SOVTs, and Operational Assessments; perform defect triage, root-cause analysis, and corrective action tracking.
  • Coordinate RMF touchpoints with IA teams (IATT/ATO evidence, STIG alignment) and ensure configuration baselines remain compliant; maintain change control through CCB/PTRB and CMPro.
  • Prepare production readiness inputs (LRIP/FRP/FRD), reliability/maintainability assessments, and environmental/TEMPEST/EMI considerations with vendor and government stakeholders.
  • Lead site survey/installation planning, risk assessment, schedules, and as-built documentation; minimize operational impact and ensure successful fleet introduction.
  • Support logistics and sustainment artifacts (ILSP/LSA inputs), obsolescence management, and upgrade pathways via ECR/ECP/RFD/RFW processes.
  • Brief IPTs/WIPTs and leadership; mentor junior engineers; champion MBSE/DevSecOps practices to accelerate delivery.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED (Required):
  • Security Clearance: Active Secret clearance
  • Experience:
    • 2+ years systems engineering for enterprise or tactical networks, including requirements management, architecture/design, integration, and test.
    • Hands-on with virtualized environments (vSphere/vCenter), routing/switching, QoS, GPON, and enclave integration across ashore/afloat contexts.
    • Authoring SE artifacts (SEPs/EIPs/ICDs/SRS/design drawings) and executing DT&E/SOVT/TRR events.
    • Working knowledge of RMF coordination, DISA STIG alignment, and configuration management (CMPro or equivalent).
  • Skills/Tools: DOORS (requirements/RTM), SysML/MBSE (Cameo/MagicDraw preferred), Visio/Modeling tools, Jira/Confluence, Git, Wireshark; strong interface control and interoperability engineering.
  • Education: BS/BA in Systems, Electrical/Computer, or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (equivalent experience may substitute per GDIT policy).
  • Certifications: DoD 8570/8140 IAT-II baseline (e.g., Security+ CE) within 90 days of start.

  • Prior support to NIWC Pacific and/or PMW-160 CANES, ADNS, or similar Navy tactical network programs.
  • INCOSE CSEP/ASEP, ITIL, VMware (VCP), Cisco (CCNP/ENCOR), or MBSE certification.
  • Experience with BESEP/FRCB submissions, shipboard installation documentation, and cross-domain/guard solutions.
  • Familiarity with CJCSI 6212 (Net-Ready KPP), DoDAF 2.x, NESI/DISR, and production readiness (LRIP/FRP).
  • Exposure to TEMPEST/EMI considerations, COMSEC/CMS workflows, and multi-enclave operations.
