• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Testing, or a related field
• A Bachelor’s degree may be substituted with an additional seven (7) years of related experience performing tactical network systems engineering functions.

• A minimum of eight (8) years of tactical network systems engineering experience is required.

We are looking for a qualified System Engineer IV to join our team, focusing on the development and integration of tactical network systems. The successful candidate will have significant experience in systems engineering and will be responsible for providing technical expertise throughout the lifecycle of various acquisition programs.

• Systems Engineering Support: Perform systems engineering processes, procedures, and best practices to ensure successful development, testing, evaluation, training, and configuration management in support of acquisition programs.
• Network Architecture: Provide engineering support on transport and networking architecture, concentrating on current and future tactical network capabilities.
• Technical Evaluations: Support design reviews and conduct thorough, in-depth technical evaluations and assessments of network performance and architectures, including risk assessments and integration strategies.
• Capability Support: Engage in Capability Set (CS) and Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) activities, providing technical support to evaluate and integrate new technologies aimed at modernizing communications.
• Collaboration: Effectively collaborate with various organizations, including PEO C3T, other PMs, PdMs, ACM, and Army-wide stakeholders, to coordinate interoperability considerations.
• Documentation Review: Review and comprehend acquisition documentation (e.g., mission needs statements, operational needs statements, Initial Capabilities Documents (ICDs), Capability Development Documents (CDDs), Capability Production Documents (CPDs), and technical specifications) for Army tactical communications systems. Translate those requirements to support the development of standards-based and cost-efficient technical solutions.
• Proposal Review: Review Government performance work statements and contractor proposals for technical accuracy to ensure requirements are met.

• Demonstrated experience in network engineering.
