Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

We are seeking a C2 expert who has executed the C2 mission from the operator's chair. The ideal candidate is a former or retired USAF Air Battle Manager (or equivalent C2 battle management operator) with hands‑on experience in airborne, ground‑based, and operations‑center C2 environments such as AWACS, the Control and Reporting Center (CRC), and the Air Operations Center (AOC), and who has since built a track record in leadership, systems integration, test, or training.

This individual will lead the development, delivery, training and sustainment of command-and-control systems. The role bridges two worlds: the operators who depend on these systems in real-world and operations, and the engineers who build and sustain the underlying platform. The C2 Systems Integrator ensures that operational requirements are understood, translated into executable engineering work, tested realistically, and delivered in a form that warfighters can trust and train on.

The hardest problems on a C2 program are rarely purely technical. They are questions such as:
What does a controller actually need to see, and how fast? What happens to the tactical picture when systems are degraded or fail mid‑mission? How will a coalition partner receive and trust this data? How do we prove to an operational test team, and to the people who will sit the console, that the system is safe to field? A candidate with real battle management experience brings the credibility, vocabulary, and instincts to answer those questions, and to challenge engineering and schedule decisions that look fine on paper but would not survive contact with an operational unit.

• Secure Computing Environment — The IT infrastructure and Services that support the system.
• Mission Software — Operational and tactical level command and control software such as MSCT, ADSI, C2 Core, Voice Communications Systems.
• Integration — Sensors, tactical data links, and radios/communications devices.

• Serve as the program's operational voice: translate operator needs, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and mission-thread requirements into clear, testable engineering requirements.
• Define and defend mission‑critical availability, latency, and data‑integrity expectations for the track, display, and other mission application functions.
• Develop and maintain mission‑thread and dependency views showing how a failure in any infrastructure service affects operational users.
• Represent the program in discussions with operational commands, user working groups, and requirements boards.

• Ensure the system supports Joint and coalition employment, including interoperability, data sharing, and releasability considerations across Service and mission‑partner boundaries.
• Coordinate with Joint and Allied stakeholders, interoperability certification bodies, and foreign disclosure and security authorities as applicable to fielding and data exchange.
• Plan and track participation in Joint and coalition exercises, interoperability events, and integration demonstrations, including readiness of the underlying infrastructure.

• Plan, coordinate, and support test events, define test objectives, measures of effectiveness and suitability, entry/exit criteria, and data collection.
