Specify, define, configure, and evaluate data filtering, sanitization, translation, and normalization mechanisms to ensure data quality, covariance, high-fidelity track preservation, and metadata continuity across system boundaries.
Coordinate system integration and interface agreements with systems on both sides of the security boundary, including mission planning tools, common operational display systems, C2 systems, and sensor integration nodes.
Validate and troubleshoot complex data transfer pipelines involving tactical/operational data links, structured messaging schemas, streaming video, geospatial tracks, telemetry, and metadata.
Formulate boundary network data pathways, specifying gateways, routing, network segmentation, virtual networks, ports, protocols, and services, coordinating with cybersecurity engineers on configurations.
Identify, isolate, log, track, and resolve issues such as metadata failures, data/track breaks, multi-hop sharing degradation, boundary transfer failures, dropped messages, corrupted metadata, and synchronization issues. Maintain integration risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
Plan and execute verification and validation testing in controlled laboratory environments to evaluate data fidelity, metadata preservation, multi-enclave data distribution, multi-hop data sharing, and filter enforcement prior to operational deployment.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree and at least 5 years of related experience engaging or integrating C2 or sensor systems (ground, aviation, maritime, unmanned operational picture/sensor systems, operational mission platforms, C2 applications, or sensor processing pipelines) across segmented networks. An additional 2 years of experience may be substituted in lieu of degree.
Demonstrated experience integrating systems across security boundaries or high assurance data transfer gateways, specifically with tactical or operational messages and data types (e.g., tactical messages, track/targeting data, video, metadata, structured schemas).
In-depth knowledge of track and information exchange requirements, including covariance, metadata preservation, multi-hop data distribution/sharing, track correlation, schema mapping, and operational picture/data quality
Strong working knowledge of network communication fundamentals, sufficient to specify data paths, including gateways, routing implications, network segmentation, virtual networks, and port, protocol, and service allocations.
Proven experience operating, fielding, and troubleshooting technology in tactical environments with denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) communications, or in bandwidth-limited, disconnected, or austere operational environments.
Preferred Qualifications
Joint interface control, tactical data link management, or link planner experience.
Direct experience configuring, integrating, or working with cross-domain solution filter, data-broker, or guard technologies (e.g., enterprise/tactical transfer, high-assurance guard, transfer appliances, secure data broker platforms).
Direct experience supporting cross-domain solution procurement, accreditation, or national-level validation.
Background as a network/data systems administrator, cyberspace specialist, intelligence specialist, network engineer, or mission data systems analysis
Clearance Requirements
Must have a current/active TS/SCI security clearance.
Physical Requirements
Office work environment with occasional travel to outdoor test and evaluation sites.
Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time.
Needs to occasionally move about inside the office to access file cabinets, office machinery, meeting spaces, and collaborative work areas.
