N6 Staff Communications & C4I Specialist
About The Position
Anchor Innovation is actively hiring an experienced N6 Staff Communications & C4I Specialist to support a U.S. Navy maritime organization in San Diego. This position works directly within an ISIC-level staff environment, supporting communications, networks, C2 systems, and communications readiness across subordinate operational units and emerging maritime capabilities. We are looking for someone who understands communications from the staff and operational perspective. The ideal candidate has previously served on or directly supported an ISIC, Group, TYCOM, or comparable Navy staff, preferably within an N6, communications, C4I, or readiness function. This is not a traditional help-desk or enterprise IT position. The N6 specialist will help the staff assess communications readiness across supported units, identify capability and interoperability gaps, coordinate requirements, troubleshoot complex issues, and help develop the communications architecture and processes needed to support operational forces. Experience with expeditionary or tactical communications is particularly valuable. This is an immediate staffing requirement supporting an active customer program. Interviews will be scheduled as qualified applications are received.
