Responsibilities

Peraton is seeking a Senior Data & Communications Systems Engineer to work onsite at the Stennis Space Center.

The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (COMNAVMETOCCOM / CNMOC) is beginning the procurement, testing, and evaluation of the Persistent Subsea Autonomous Profiler (PSAP) autonomous, thermal-energy-harvesting platforms collect critical, real-time oceanographic and acoustic data.

What you will do

Provide technical coordination, communications systems engineering, and data pipeline implementation

Responsible for implementing secure data pathways, configuring direct satellite communications pipelines (including Iridium EMSS SBD/RUDICS), establishing secure bi-directional Command and Control (C2) interfaces, and ensuring rapid, automated data dissemination to downstream defense systems

Provide hands‑on Data and Communications systems engineering to build, deploy, and secure data pathing and C2 systems for the PSAP platform to achieve immediate data dissemination. This will require coordinating with the vehicle vendor to utilize their data API, designing and deploying data pipelines to ingest telemetry and sensor data, transforming and loading this data into METOC and USW systems, and establishing downstream dissemination pathways to Maven Smart Systems (MSS) and the Undersea Warfare command and control systems.

The work will require establishing data pipelines that streamline information exchange on complex legacy networks, configuring secure satellite communication, and implementing the secure, bi‑directional telemetry architecture required for active float management and reverse commanding.
