Own your opportunity to work with the largest government agency in the nation. Make an impact by advancing the Department of Defense’s mission to keep our country safe and secure.
Transform mission needs into deployed capability as a Systems Engineer with GDIT. You’ll lead end-to-end systems engineering for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) and related Navy tactical network efforts with NIWC Pacific (Codes 55131/55132/55133) in support of PMW-160—spanning ashore, afloat, subsurface, airborne, mobile, and joint environments.
MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT
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:
5+ 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.
Work Location: Onsite San Diego, CA (NIWC Pacific). Limited CONUS/OCONUS travel to labs, shipyards, and fleet concentration areas per tasking and installation/test events
Position Availability: Position is pending final contract award.
US Citizenship Required
WHAT WE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO HAVE (Desired):
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.
