Odyssey Systems has an exciting opportunity for a Principal Systems Engineer providing support to the Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management Division (C3BM).

Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (C3BM) has been tasked with delivering an integrated Department of the Air Force (DAF) Battle Network providing resilient decision advantage and enabling the USAF, USSF, Joint, and Coalition Force to win against the pacing challenge. C3BM supports execution in many different focus areas. C3BM’s main efforts are Architecture and Systems Engineering (ASE), Operational Response Team (ORT), and multiple mission integration teams such as Air, Maritime, and multiple acquisitions consisting of both the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and Space.

The selected candidate will provide systems engineering support across the acquisition lifecycle and will be aligned to the Data Mission Integration Team (MIT). The MIT is responsible for translating operational requirements into technical solutions, developing integrated architectures, assessing risks, supporting acquisition execution strategies, and coordinating test and evaluation activities to ensure capabilities are delivered to operational users.

This is a full-time position located at Hanscom AFB, Bedford, MA and is 100% onsite.

Duties to include, but not limited to:

• Provide systems engineering support throughout the acquisition lifecycle, including requirements analysis, architecture development, system integration, sustainment, and disposal activities.
• Support Mission Integration Team (MIT) activities by translating operational and functional requirements into technical requirements.
• Participate in architecture definition efforts to ensure integration and interoperability across the DAF Battle Network enterprise architecture.
• Review current DoD architecture models and support development of future-state architectures that enable sensor-to-shooter connectivity.
• Drive interoperability and integration efforts across Program Executive Offices (PEOs), weapon systems, and mission partners.
• Conduct capability risk assessments and support development of mitigation strategies in coordination with stakeholders.
• Support development of execution management strategies and transition capability requirements to the acquisition community.
• Support development of test and evaluation strategies in coordination with acquisition and test organizations.
• Capture and analyze current-state and future-state architectures driven by mission and engagement scenarios.
• Engage with joint and coalition stakeholders to support development of integrated multi-domain architectures.
• Document requirements for the DAF Battle Network (DBN) Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) environment.
• Evaluate existing ICAM solutions across DBN programs against established requirements.
• Identify preferred ICAM solutions and assess capability gaps against documented requirements.
• Support development of Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) to address identified capability gaps.
• Draft and maintain ICAM strategy documentation and support implementation activities across participating programs.
• Support development of technical briefings, engineering documentation, reports, recommendations, and acquisition artifacts for Government leadership.
