Description

San Diego, CA
Full-Time | Immediate Opening | Active Secret Clearance Required

Anchor Innovation is actively hiring an experienced N6 Staff Communications & C4I Specialist to support a U.S. Navy maritime organization in San Diego.

This position works directly within an ISIC-level staff environment
, supporting communications, networks, C2 systems, and communications readiness across subordinate operational units and emerging maritime capabilities.

We are looking for someone who understands communications from the staff and operational perspective
. The ideal candidate has previously served on or directly supported an ISIC, Group, TYCOM, or comparable Navy staff
, preferably within an N6, communications, C4I, or readiness function.

This is not a traditional help-desk or enterprise IT position. The N6 specialist will help the staff assess communications readiness across supported units, identify capability and interoperability gaps, coordinate requirements, troubleshoot complex issues, and help develop the communications architecture and processes needed to support operational forces.

Experience with
expeditionary or tactical communications is particularly valuable.

This is an immediate staffing requirement supporting an active customer program. Interviews will be scheduled as qualified applications are received.

Typical responsibilities may include:

• Support the N6 staff with communications planning, coordination, readiness, and technical analysis
• Assess communications and C4I readiness across multiple subordinate units
• Identify recurring or systemic communications issues affecting supported commands
• Coordinate communications requirements between subordinate units, ISIC staff, higher headquarters, program offices, technical organizations, and other stakeholders
• Support tactical and expeditionary voice and data communications
• Support RF, VHF/UHF/HF, SATCOM, IP-based networks, and other communications systems as applicable
• Support communications planning for exercises, training events, demonstrations, and operational requirements
• Assist with development and validation of communications plans and architectures
• Support interoperability between tactical systems, networks, command-and-control systems, and operational platforms
• Troubleshoot communications and network issues that require staff-level coordination or technical assistance
• Help subordinate units identify equipment, configuration, connectivity, and support requirements
• Coordinate technical issues with program offices, warfare centers, OEMs, network/service providers, and other supporting organizations
• Support introduction and integration of new communications technologies and capabilities
• Assist with communications equipment readiness, configuration management, and accountability
• Support information assurance/cybersecurity requirements as applicable to assigned systems
• Develop and refine communications SOPs, technical processes, trackers, and readiness reporting
• Provide technical recommendations and communications-readiness updates to staff leadership
• Coordinate closely with operations, training, logistics, maintenance, engineering, and other staff functions

The strongest candidates will have experience working on or directly supporting an ISIC, Group, TYCOM, or comparable Navy staff
, ideally within an N6/C4I function.

Relevant backgrounds may include:

• N6 staff
• ISIC/Group communications or C4I staff
• TYCOM communications/readiness staff
• Expeditionary communications
• Tactical communications
• Navy IT, ET, or comparable technical communications background
• Marine Corps communications
• NSW/NECC/MESF expeditionary communications
• C4I/C5I technical support
• SATCOM/RF communications
• Tactical networking
• Fleet communications readiness
• Communications systems integration
• Field Service Representative / technical support for Navy C4I systems
• Contractor communications SME embedded with a Navy operational staff

Prior unit-level communications experience is valuable, but this position requires someone capable of looking across multiple supported units and systems from the staff level.
