NC3 Enterprise and Nuclear Systems Integration Engineer

Job description

NC3 Enterprise and Nuclear Systems Integration Engineer The Opportunity: You understand the critical role NC3 plays in U.S. strategic deterrence and national security. You recognize the complexity and absolute precision required when engineering systems tied to nuclear weapon operations, survivable communications, force direction, and time critical decision support. We’re seeking a systems engineer with hands-on NC3 experience to help modernize, integrate, and secure the next generation of nuclear enterprise systems. You will shape resilient architectures, ensure compliance with nuclear surety and certification requirements, support nuclear weapon system interfaces, and drive the modernization of strategic command, control, and communication capabilities across the DoD. You will also ensure systems meet EMP or HEMP survivability requirements and operate within secure, accredited facilities. Join our team and help deliver the future of survivable, secure, and interoperable NC3 capabilities. What You’ll Work On: Lead engineering, integration, and analysis across NC3 system of systems environments, including force direction, decision support, survivable communications, and nuclear weapon system interfaces. Support full lifecycle systems engineering, including requirements development, architecture design, integration planning, verification or validation, fielding, and sustainment. Develop and maintain enterprise, functional, and solution architectures aligned with NC3 guidance, Joint Staff requirements, and the DoDAF. Apply MBSE to model operational and technical mission threads, nuclear timelines, survivability requirements, and system interactions within nuclear command and control (C2) environments. Use MBSE tools such as SysML, Cameo, and MagicDraw. Support integration with nuclear weapon systems, including data links, message formats, timing requirements, and safety or surety- related constraints. Participate in DevSecOps pipelines supporting NC3 modernization, including secure development practices, automated testing, and cyber resilient deployment architectures. Conduct cybersecurity, survivability, and resilience assessments across contested, degraded, or nuclear effects environments. Ensure compliance with RMF, ATO / IATT, eMASS, and relevant cybersecurity standards. Support RMF, cross domain solution accreditation, nuclear surety compliance, and eMASS documentation for NC3 and nuclear - related systems. Perform systems analysis of nuclear enterprise data flows, authoritative data sources, and interoperability requirements across strategic forces. Contribute to configuration management, engineering review boards, technical baseline management, and NC3 modernization decision forums. Support EMP or HEMP hardening and testing per MIL-STD-188-125 and MIL-STD-4023. Document system designs, interfaces, and technical data using MBSE models, engineering drawings, and technical manuals. Join us. The world can’t wait.
