About The Position

Venturi, LLC A Chenega Company has a challenging career opportunity for a Network Architecture SME who will support the US Marine Corps on the DIAMNDSS III (US Marine Corps Organic Precision Fires) contract. Decision Support Division (DSD) Integrated Air Missile and Network Defense and Space Support (DIAMNDSS III) delivers system utility analysis and combat development in support of the Warfighter by providing analysis, execution and analysis support of exercises and wargames, and experimentation support, including analysis to United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) in the areas of space, space control, high altitude air and missile defense, and associated cyberspace operations.
The Network Architecture SME initiates, supervises, and/or develops requirements from project inception to conclusion for complex to extremely complex programs. This individual provides strategic advice, technical guidance, and expertise to program and project staff and provides detailed analysis, evaluation, and recommendations for improvements, optimization development, and/or maintenance efforts for client-specific or mission-critical challenges/issues. The Network Architecture SME consults with the client to define needs or problems and supervises, studies, and leads surveys to collect and analyze data to provide advice and recommend solutions. This individual supports the Marine Corps Organic Precision Fires Mounted (OPFM). OPFM is a command and control (C2) system that provides precision fire to the LAV (Light Armored Vehicle) where the C2 system controls the launch and flight (semi-autonomous loitering munitions) for precision fires. The Network Architecture SME supports the system integration, hardware requirements, design, and simulation for the C2 system. The system uses custom software that provides video simulation for the test and training for the C2 system.
The Network Architecture SME also plays a critical role in supporting the Marine Corps Target Handoff System (THS). THSv2 is a dismounted Android C2 system for Ground Fires and Digitally Aided CAS (Close Air Support). In addition to the Android development for the C2 system, this individual is responsible for developing and implementing the organic radio (SINCGARS) interface modem (SoftModem) to replace an existing product.
