Principal Systems Analyst (Tactical Networks – CANES) | Active Secret clearance
About The Position
Bring clarity to complexity as a Systems Analyst with GDIT. You’ll translate mission needs into actionable requirements and data-driven decisions 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. Your analysis will span ashore, afloat, subsurface, airborne, mobile, and joint environments, accelerating delivery of resilient, interoperable capabilities to the Fleet. MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT Elicit and decompose capabilities into measurable functional/performance requirements, verification objectives, and acceptance criteria for new builds and tech refresh. Develop and maintain Requirements Traceability Matrices (RTMs) in DOORS; align operational needs to technical specs, test cases, and results. Perform trade studies, alternatives analyses, and cost/schedule/performance/risk assessments; provide clear recommendations to IPTs/WIPTs and leadership. Produce/curate SE artifacts: concepts of operations, interface definitions, data dictionaries, ICD/SRS inputs, SEPs/EIPs, test plans/reports, BoMs, and program briefings. Support architecture products (DoDAF views) at enterprise/tactical/system levels; map interfaces across enclaves and transport paths. Partner with IA teams on RMF touchpoints (IATT/ATO evidence, STIG posture, POA&M data) and ensure analysis artifacts support A&A packages. Plan/assist DT&E, SOVTs, TRRs, and Operational Assessments; perform defect triage, root-cause analysis, metrics/OKRs, and readiness reporting. Execute configuration status accounting in CMPro; track CCB/PTRB actions, baselines, deviations/waivers, and implementation status. Prepare installation/fielding analysis (site surveys, BESEP/STEDP/IDP inputs, risk/impact assessments) to minimize operational disruption. Build dashboards and ad-hoc analytics (e.g., Power BI/Excel/SQL/Python) for performance, cyber posture, and lifecycle/obsolescence insights; drive process improvement (Agile/DevSecOps/ITIL).
