Systems Engineer (Tactical Networks – CANES) | Active Secret clearance
General Dynamics Information Technology, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Overview
Systems Engineer (Tactical Networks – CANES) | Active Secret clearance at General Dynamics Information Technology. Transform mission needs into deployed capability as a Systems Engineer with GDIT and lead end-to-end systems engineering for CANES and related Navy tactical network efforts. What you’ll do
Drive full lifecycle System Engineering: capability analysis, requirements decomposition, verification objectives, and system specifications for CANES baselines and tech refresh. Produce enterprise/tactical/system-level architectures aligned to the 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 installation documents for 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 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: 5+ 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, SysML/MBSE (Cameo/MagicDraw), 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 policy) Certifications: DoD 8570/8140 IAT-II baseline (e.g., Security+ CE) within 90 days of start Work Location: Onsite San Diego, CA (NIWC Pacific). Limited travel to labs, shipyards, and fleet concentration areas per tasking Position Availability: Position is pending final contract award US Citizenship Required Desired
Prior support to NIWC Pacific and/or PMW-160 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 6212 (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 Why GDIT
