tactical-data-links jobs in San Diego

This is a network engineering role focused on designing, implementing, troubleshooting, and sustaining tactical and enterprise network systems with a strong cybersecurity emphasis. The engineer will work with WAN-level architectures, routing, connectivity, and tactical data links while assessing cybersecurity risks across deployed systems and coordinating with cross-functional stakeholders.…See more The role requires deep experience in network architecture, cybersecurity policy, security controls, vulnerability management, and the ability to document and communicate technical risks and network designs to both engineering and operational audiences.

Senior Software QA Engineer responsible for validating Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, drivers, middleware, and safety-critical interfaces. Will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature, exploratory, regression, acceptance) across HIL/SIL rigs, build Python-driven automation for serial/CAN/Ethernet I/O and fault injection, and instrument diagnostics to isolate timing and state issues before Flight Test.…See more Expected to own system testing end-to-end, validate robustness under degraded conditions (jitter, packet loss, brownouts, watchdog resets), and collaborate with avionics, autonomy, radio, and payload teams to harden reliability on aircraft.

This role provides technical and operational support for Advanced Tactical Data Link (ATDL) systems with emphasis on cryptographic integration, Communications Security (COMSEC), and network interoperability. Responsibilities include configuring and fielding secure communication systems, troubleshooting system and interoperability issues in lab and field environments, evaluating network architectures, and providing training to operators and maintainers.…See more The position requires minimum 2 years of hands-on experience with ATDL systems (Link 16, MIDS JTRS), COMSEC material handling, CMS processes, and an active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.

Senior Software QA Engineer to own system testing for Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, board support packages, device drivers, and safety-critical data paths. You will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature/bring-up, exploratory, regression, acceptance) and build automation across HIL/SIL rigs exercising real buses (CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet) and links (MAVLink, Tactical Data Links) under fault conditions.…See more You will instrument diagnostics, triage defects, and harden robustness for timing, jitter, packet loss, brownouts, and recovery paths before Flight Test. This is a full-time onsite role in San Diego requiring hands-on bench work with flight computers, power systems, radios, and sensors.

Entry to junior-level software developer supporting the Command and Control Processor (C2P) Modernization project at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific. The role involves designing, coding, and testing C++ applications for system diagnostics, tactical data links (S-TADIL-J/JREAP A, Link 16), and user interfaces.…See more Responsibilities include collaborating with senior developers, participating in code reviews, debugging software issues, and contributing to maintenance of existing systems within an Agile framework.
