Job description

Help allied navies see their own waters.

OmicronVis is hiring a Systems Engineer to support U.S. Navy command and control programs under Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR). The work is Foreign Military Sales: we build and integrate maritime surveillance and C2 capability for partner nations, then go stand it up in their country.

This is not a role where you own one screen of one system for three years. In a given month you might be working radar and sensor integration, aerostats, unmanned systems, sonar, communications vehicles, and microwave towers, and figuring out how all of it talks to a common operational picture. Then you brief it to a Combatant Commander or a partner-nation delegation.

What the job actually is

This is fundamental systems engineering, practiced across a portfolio rather than inside one box. You take partner-nation requirements and information exchange needs, turn them into defined interfaces and engineering action, integrate capabilities that were never designed to talk to each other, and verify the result does what was promised.

The core of the work:

• Requirements definition, analysis, decomposition, and traceability
• System-of-systems architecture and integration across dissimilar systems
• Interface definition and control
• Test, verification, and validation planning
• Analysis of alternatives and technical trade studies
• Coordinating engineering across multiple program offices and project leads, then briefing the result to senior stakeholders

You should also be comfortable enough with the computing and network environment these systems run on (LAN/WAN, TCP/IP, routing and switching, Windows and Linux servers, virtualization) to hold a credible technical conversation and troubleshoot alongside the people who own it. You do not need to be the network engineer.

What you get out of it

• Breadth across the entire C4I portfolio, which is the experience that turns systems engineers into lead engineers
• Direct customer and partner-nation exposure from week one, not after you have paid your dues
• International travel to partner-nation sites, roughly 20 percent
• FMS and Security Cooperation experience, which stays valuable for the rest of your career
• A clear path toward lead engineer work, at a company small enough that your name stays attached to what you build

We are casting wide on background.

Navy C4I is where this work lives, but systems engineering discipline travels. Air Force, Army, Joint, and coalition C2 experience transfers directly, and so does structured SE work from the broader aerospace and defense world: requirements management, MBSE, interface control, verification planning. Transitioning service members with a technical degree and a clearance are encouraged to apply.

What you need to be eligible

• Active DoD SECRET clearance or higher (active, not expired, not "eligible for reinstatement")
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a closely related technical field
• 3 or more years of systems engineering supporting Navy C4I or comparable DoD command and control or networking programs
• Able to work on-site in San Diego 4 days per week and travel up to 20 percentU.S. citizenship, required to obtain and maintain the clearance

Nice to have, not required:

requirements management or MBSE tooling (DOORS, Cameo, or similar), GCCS-M or GCCS-J, Link 16/11 or JREAP, FMS or Security Cooperation experience, CANES or ADNS, Security+ or CCNA, field engineering and SOVT at OCONUS sites.
