Job description
Transform mission needs into deployed capability as a Systems Engineer with GDIT.
You’ll lead end-to-end systems engineering for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) and related Navy tactical network efforts with NIWC Pacific (Codes //) in support of PMW-—spanning ashore, afloat, subsurface, airborne, mobile, and joint environments.
MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT
Drive full lifecycle SE: capability analysis, requirements decomposition, verification objectives, and system specifications for new builds and tech refresh of CANES baselines.
Produce enterprise/tactical/system-level architectures aligned to DoD Architecture Framework; author views, interface definitions, and interoperability mappings across enclaves and domains.
Lead engineering development: prototype, integrate, and lab-validate network and compute solutions (virtualized data centers, transport, GPON, wireless, SATCOM); mature technology to higher TRLs.
Generate core SE artifacts: System Engineering Plans (SEPs), Engineering Implementation Plans (EIPs), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Software Requirements Specifications (SRS), design drawings, BoMs, and STEDPs/BESEPs/IDPs for installation approval.
Plan and support Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), SOVTs, and Operational Assessments; perform defect triage, root-cause analysis, and corrective action tracking.
Coordinate RMF touchpoints with IA teams (IATT/ATO evidence, STIG alignment) and ensure configuration baselines remain compliant; maintain change control through CCB/PTRB and CMPro.
Prepare production readiness inputs (LRIP/FRP/FRD), reliability/maintainability assessments, and environmental/TEMPEST/EMI considerations with vendor and government stakeholders.
Lead site survey/installation planning, risk assessment, schedules, and as-built documentation; minimize operational impact and ensure successful fleet introduction.
Support logistics and sustainment artifacts (ILSP/LSA inputs), obsolescence management, and upgrade pathways via ECR/ECP/RFD/RFW processes.
Brief IPTs/WIPTs and leadership; mentor junior engineers; champion MBSE/DevSecOps practices to accelerate delivery.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED (Required):
Security Clearance: Active Secret clearance
Experience:
2+ years systems engineering for enterprise or tactical networks, including requirements management, architecture/design, integration, and test.
Hands-on with virtualized environments (vSphere/vCenter), routing/switching, QoS, GPON, and enclave integration across ashore/afloat contexts.
Authoring SE artifacts (SEPs/EIPs/ICDs/SRS/design drawings) and executing DT&E/SOVT/TRR events.
Working knowledge of RMF coordination, DISA STIG alignment, and configuration management (CMPro or equivalent).
Skills/Tools: DOORS (requirements/RTM), SysML/MBSE (Cameo/MagicDraw preferred), Visio/Modeling tools, Jira/Confluence, Git, Wireshark; strong interface control and interoperability engineering.
Education: BS/BA in Systems, Electrical/Computer, or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (equivalent experience may substitute per GDIT policy).
Certifications: DoD / IAT-II baseline (e.g., Security+ CE) within 90 days of start.
Work Location: Onsite San Diego, CA (NIWC Pacific).
Limited CONUS/OCONUS travel to labs, shipyards, and fleet concentration areas per tasking and installation/test events
Position Availability: Position is pending final contract award.
US Citizenship Required
WHAT WE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO HAVE (Desired):
Prior support to NIWC Pacific and/or PMW- CANES, ADNS, or similar Navy tactical network programs.
INCOSE CSEP/ASEP, ITIL, VMware (VCP), Cisco (CCNP/ENCOR), or MBSE certification.
Experience with BESEP/FRCB submissions, shipboard installation documentation, and cross-domain/guard solutions.
Familiarity with CJCSI (Net-Ready KPP), DoDAF 2.x, NESI/DISR, and production readiness (LRIP/FRP).
Exposure to TEMPEST/EMI considerations, COMSEC/CMS workflows, and multi-enclave operations.
