About The Position

The Indo-Pacific Regional Operations Department (N554) works with the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) and the Military Service Components on-island to inform warfighter requirements and Concepts of Operation (CONOPS), and provides Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems acquisition, engineering, and integration support to the Department of War (DOW) and U.S. Allies in the Pacific Theater. N554 is a dynamic and forward leaning organization that provides direct connections to warfighters. These direct connections allow staff to monitor and participate in current operations and exercises. A key output of this access is the ability to inform technology innovation and capability analysis with operational domain expertise. N554 operational depth and warfighter access has generated considerable expertise in the development and analysis of CONOPS, mission threads, use cases, and operational requirements. The Department establishes links between DoW sponsors and Coalition Partner development activities. N554 is on the cutting edge of current operations and is a major thought leader in force modernization. The Indo-Pacific Regional Operations Department (N554) is seeking to fill a Lead Logistics Systems Engineer position for MITRE’s project with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) in Honolulu, Hawaii. MITRE aims to deliver quantifiable mission value and operational impact to the warfighter – primarily by accelerating technical innovation of new ideas and solutions to emerging operational problems. In general, we collaborate with acquisition stakeholders, technology innovators, operational analysts, and other mission partners to help accelerate the delivery of needed capabilities to operational and tactical level warfighters across the naval, joint, and combined force. This position will play a pivotal role in leading MITRE's efforts to support USINDOPACOM J4 in navigating the acquisition transition of the Joint Sustainment Decision Tool (JSDT) and addressing additional responsibilities as requested by the sponsor. The role requires a dynamic leader capable of collaborating directly with active sponsors while effectively managing and guiding a reach-back team to deliver impactful solutions. A strong understanding of acquisition processes, systems engineering principles, and data integration concepts will be critical to advancing the task and driving meaningful outcomes in the acquisition of JSDT. The ideal candidate will possess proven experience working with the Department of War or other U.S. government entities, demonstrating the ability to influence decision-making and deliver measurable improvements to organizational processes and operations.
