Fires C2 Systems Specialist / COP (1462)

Zapata Technology • Oceanside, CA

18h • Onsite

About The Position

This role is for someone who has personally operated Fires and C2 systems like AFATDS, JADOCS, JTCW, JTT, and THSv2 in a TOC, lab, or test environment. You might be a former 0861 , 140A , or C2/Fires systems specialist who understands how these applications work together to create a common operational picture during missions or test events. This is not a typical System Admin or Network Engineer role. This is for someone who knows COP and willing to learn how Fires systems operate and can keep them running when it matters. Former Marine Corps (0861, 0844, 0671, 0631) or Army (13 series, 140A, 255A) strongly desired. You won’t be sitting in a data center or doing routine help desk work. You’ll be directly supporting systems used in live test events and mission scenarios, ensuring Fires and C2 applications are integrated, operational, and sharing the picture across the battlefield network. If you’ve ever been the person everyone looks at when AFATDS or JADOCS stops talking — this is that job.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with AFATDS, JADOCS, JTCW, JTT, or THSv2
• Background in Fires, Field Artillery, or C2 systems or similar experience
• Experience working in TOCs, labs, or test ranges supporting operational systems
• Understanding of how C2 systems integrate across tactical networks
• Basic system administration knowledge (Windows/Linux/Android)
• Experience working in classified environments and following security protocols
• 4–6 years of relevant experience operating or supporting Fires/C2 systems OR Bachelor’s degree in a related field + 3 years of experience OR Master’s degree in a related field + 2 years of experience

Nice To Haves

• Former Marine Corps (0861, 0844, 0671, 0631) or Army (13 series, 140A, 255A) strongly desired.

Responsibilities

• Operate and troubleshoot AFATDS, JADOCS, JTCW (with EMT), JTT, and THSv2 during live test events and daily operations
• Ensure Fires and C2 systems remain integrated and sharing a common operational picture across ground and aviation networks
• Support system connectivity and integration for test readiness
• Perform light system administration for Windows, Linux, and Android-based C2 environments
• Assist with virtualized server environments supporting C2 systems
• Help maintain system security, account controls, and proper configurations in accordance with ATO requirements
