Systems Integrator - EW&C

Join a mission‑critical team delivering one of the Army’s most advanced electromagnetic warfare capabilities from lab benches to operational formations. We are seeking a Systems Integrator to bring Spectrum Core to life on real government hardware and ensure it performs reliably from controlled environments at APG to the challenging networks CONUS/OCONUS.  This role is hands‑on, fast‑paced, and central to the program’s ability to field working software to the Warfighter.

 

This position offers a unique opportunity for a technically adept integrator who thrives in dynamic environments and values real operational impact. You will travel extensively, interact directly with brigade and division stakeholders, and own the lab‑to‑field pipeline that determines system reliability across Army formations. You will also cross‑train on spectrum workflows within 60 days to better understand the operational context you are supporting.

 

For someone who enjoys building, fixing, integrating, and delivering software that must work when it matters, this role is high‑impact, high‑visibility, and essential to mission success.

 

 

• Lead system integration activities, including interface development, Interface Control Document (ICD) creation and maintenance, configuration management, version control, and transitioning solutions from lab environments to operational field environments. Maintain and actively manage the technical risk register for weekly review by the Project officer.
• Develop, test, and maintain installation workflows and deployment packages, including PowerShell (5.1 and 7), signed executables, MSI/MSIX installers, services, scheduled tasks, environment configuration, certificates, and TLS settings.
• Integrate Airbase software capabilities with designated government systems, ensuring reliability, compliance, and interoperability.
• Design and implement automation for installation, system health monitoring, log collection, and rollback processes. Establish scripting standards that ensure repeatability and efficiency.
• Collaborate with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) to implement STIG requirements and resolve findings from security scans. Ensure all integration work meets cybersecurity and compliance standards.
• Provide on-site and remote support for Developmental Test (DT), Operational Test (OT), Soldier touchpoints, ATEC onboarding, and Gauntlet 3 events. Participate in range activities and field operations as required.
• Prepare, verify, and ship pre-positioned knowledge bases and load packages to supported units
• Achieve cross-training proficiency in spectrum management fundamentals within 60 days, including SXXI report interpretation, DD Form 1494 lifecycle stages, and approval workflows. Support operations with limited reach-back when subject matter experts are forward deployed.
• Use AI tools responsibly to assist with script generation, log parsing, drafting ICDs, and configuration validation. Ensure all scripts are tested in a sandbox environment prior to operational use and that no Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is provided to public AI models.

 

 

Requirements: MUST HAVE

• Minimum of 8 years of experience integrating Department of the Army (DoA) or Department of Defense (DoD) systems from laboratory environments to operational field deployments; experience must extend beyond software development performed in isolation.
• Advanced proficiency in PowerShell (5.1 and 7), including automation, packaging, secure execution, and scripting best practices.
• Demonstrated experience deploying executables in operational environments, including silent installation, service configuration, dependency and PATH management, code signing, AppLocker/Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) compliance, and rollback or recovery strategies.
• Strong Windows systems administration skills sufficient to support tactical operations center (TOC) environments under field conditions; Linux and bash proficiency highly preferred.
• Hands‑on experience building and maintaining installers (MSI/MSIX), signed binaries, services, scheduled tasks, and configuration baselines.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals including TLS, certificates, firewalls, and enclave boundary considerations.
• Experience integrating systems or applications within government or large‑scale enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with DISA STIGs, ACAS/NESSUS scanning, and RMF‑aligned cybersecurity workflows.
• Ability to support field test environments, operate in austere conditions, and travel as required.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce clear ICDs, configuration guides, and integration documentation.

 

Preferred:

• Experience with Python, containerization technologies such as Docker, version control using Git, and continuous integration pipelines that support real‑world deployment workflows. Familiarity with configuration‑automation tools such as Ansible or equivalent platforms.
• Background working with radio‑frequency (RF), electronic warfare (EW), positioning/navigation/timing (PNT), sensor integration, or command‑and‑control (C2) systems. Prior experience in government program offices, engineering centers, or related R&D organizations is a plus.
• Experience designing or supporting builds that incorporate cybersecurity hardening requirements, including secure enclave configurations, identity and access management (ICAM) practices, and certificate or key‑material lifecycle management.
• Prior support to operational units or government test organizations, with a demonstrated willingness to cross‑train in spectrum management fundamentals. A practical, working automation script is valued as highly as formal systems‑engineering certification.
• Active Top Secret Clearance

  

Education and Certification Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related technical field; 4 years of equivalent military or industry experience may be substituted.

 

Clearance:

 

• Required - Active Secret
• Preferred - Top Secret

The position is contingent upon candidate’s ability to meet physical and medical requirements as needed by the position; including compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictional requirements.
