About the Role

As a Principal Systems Engineer at G2 Ops, you will likely focus on developing and integrating submarine communication systems and/or establishing standards, governance, and enterprise-wide system engineering processes. Both roles require strong systems engineering expertise, but each demands a distinct skill set and technical focus.

Systems Development & Integration

Our customer supports submarine communications by developing, testing, and integrating advanced systems. If you join this team, your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and integrating communication systems for submarine platforms.
• Conducting system verification & validation to ensure performance in undersea environments.
• Managing system lifecycle requirements, including software and hardware integration.
• Testing and evaluating new technologies.
• Developing system models and performing trade studies to optimize performance and reliability.
• Applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to design and analyze system architectures.

Enterprise Standards & Process Management

Another customer oversees enterprise-wide systems engineering standards, technical governance, and process development for NAVWAR programs. In this role, you will:

• Define and implement engineering standards that guide multiple NAVWAR programs.
• Develop processes for system requirements, design, and verification across enterprise-wide programs.
• Support large-scale system architecture development and sustainment for NAVWAR systems.
• Coordinate with program managers and stakeholders to maintain system interoperability across the fleet.
• Develop and refine technical documentation, processes, and best practices for NAVWAR system engineering teams.

Required Skills & Qualifications

System Development & Integration:

• Experience with submarine or military communications systems (e.g., SATCOM, RF systems).
• Knowledge of systems integration and testing for mission-critical platforms.
• Strong understanding of system verification & validation processes.
• Experience developing system models and conducting performance analysis.
• Familiarity with MBSE tools such as Cameo, Rhapsody, or similar modeling environments.
