Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and 5+ years of experience with shipboard C5ISR systems or network architectures (e.g., radio communication racks, Integrated Bridge Systems, shipboard LANs, switches, routers). A BS degree may be substituted with an additional 4 years of relevant experience.
• Expertise in network integration, configuration, and troubleshooting of commercial-grade routers, switches, and IP network devices within defense systems.
• Security Clearance: Active Secret clearance required from day one.
• Certifications: Cybersecurity Workforce (CSWF) IA Level II certification required (e.g., Security+, CISSP, or equivalent).

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency in using Microsoft Office Suite for project communications, documentation, and reporting.
• Hands-on experience with AutoCAD to review and interpret system drawings and diagrams.
• Familiarity with C5ISR system block diagrams and functional interface drawings.
• Experience developing shipboard industrial test procedures in line with industry standards (e.g., IEEE 829, ISO/IEC 29119).
• Proven ability to support RMF processes, achieving ATO by meeting applicable cybersecurity standards.
• Prior experience working in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) environment or shipyard project environments.
• Shipboard Systems: Integrated Bridge System Gyrocompass (e.g., WSN-7) Surface Search Radars (e.g., AN/SPY-6, SPS-series) UHF, HF, VHF Marine Radios Shipboard Communication Cabinets and Alarms Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Fathometers, and Depth-Sounding Systems Sonar Mission Systems (SMS) Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Communications NIPRNET, SIPRNET, SI LAN, and secure networking systems
• Commercial Networking Equipment & Technologies: Cisco routers and switches Ethernet and fiber-optic networks Telecommunication infrastructures integrating IP-based systems

Responsibilities

• Lead systems integration efforts, focusing on the development and execution of Stage 4 and 5 test procedures for shipboard C5ISR systems and commercial communication/network systems.
• Develop, update, and maintain critical project documentation, including block diagrams, interface control documents, and test procedures, ensuring alignment with C5ISR requirements and commercial standards.
• Integrate commercial networking systems (e.g., Cisco switches/routers, Ethernet, or fiber-optic networks) into shipboard C5ISR architectures.
• Communicate system integration objectives and key updates, such as engineering changes, requirements, risks, and configurations, directly to the Project Manager.
• Assess engineering change proposals, documenting potential risks and impacts to key milestones and deliverables.
• Collaborate with technical teams to ensure successful integration and testing of shipboard systems, adhering to industry’s best practices and MIL-STD-2106.
• Provide expertise in switching, routing, and communications to ensure seamless interoperability between shipboard C5ISR components and modern networking equipment.
• Support the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process to attain Authorization to Operate (ATO), ensuring compliance with cybersecurity requirements.
