AceInfo is currently seeking a C4ISR Engineer Task Lead to support our upcoming federal project, in Hampton, VA

Project Overview:

The 480 ISRW is the Air Force leader in globally networked intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. The Wing’s comprehensive set of ISR capabilities include Lead Wing designation for the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS), as well as national cryptologic, information technology, cyber ISR, tactical analysis, Combined Forces Air Component Command (CFACC)-support, and national-to-tactical signals intelligence (SIGINT) integration. The unit’s mission is executed on a 24 hour, seven (7) days per week basis across several core and remote sites with Command, Control and Communications (C3) locations at Langley Air Force Base (AFB), VA and Beale AFB, CA.

The AF DCGS, also referred to as the AN/GSQ-272 SENTINEL weapon system, is the Air Force’s primary ISR planning, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and dissemination weapon system. The weapon system employs a global communications architecture that connects multiple intelligence platforms, DoD networks, and sensors. Personnel assigned to AF DCGS produce actionable intelligence from data collected by a variety of sensors on the U-2, RQ-4 Global Hawk, MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper and other ISR platforms across multiple security levels up to TOP SECRET/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI.

• Analyze network characteristics (e.g., traffic, connect time, transmission speeds, packet sizes, and throughput) and recommend procurement, removal, and modification to existing network components
• Design, optimize, and implement a standardized network topology and configuration amongst 480 ISRW sites
• Diagnose and recommend remediation of problems and plan and coordinate installations, transitions, and cutovers of network components and capabilities
• Perform periodic reviews, at the request of the Government, of existing network designs and capabilities with the goal of making refinements, reducing operating overhead, enhancing network throughput, improving reliability and security, and improving current network topologies

• Provide technical analysis and engineering support for all proposed and validated system requirements for C4ISR in support of operational requirements
• Provide technical solutions to facilitate multi-intelligence data integration into DCGS
• Devise strategies to synchronize the insertion of new ISR correlated/fused data with the efficient planning, direction, and operational employment of theater aerospace, ground, and naval forces
• Assess the feasibility of integrating ISR systems into DCGS, while minimizing the impact to current operations
• Develop system engineering documentation (i.e. white papers, reports/studies, briefings) to formalize concepts
• Design reconfiguration of network to accommodate mission needs
• Engage in collaborative activities among the various sites
• Review requirements provided by the DCGS Program Office and Information Assurance Office (IAO) to determine bandwidth, performance, and Controlled Interface (CI) settings for establishing network configuration baselines

• Participate in system requirements reviews, technical exchanges, and design reviews as directed
• Track, at a minimum, the number of sites supported, numbers of systems supported, managed (mission) equipment, network devices, circuits supported, tickets/PSRs/NSRs opened and closed, rack space, projects reviewed (1067s/CCB/IPTs/telecons etc.), projects supported (CAN upgrades, new installs, etc.) firewall traffic, systems audited, and accounts managed (local and remote)

• Minimum of 10 years’ of IT engineering experience
• Bachelor’s degree in systems or network engineering or related engineering field
• Ability to lead cross-functional, geographically dispersed project teams
• Ability to communicate with decision makers
• Possess CCNA and IAT Level II certifications
