About the Role

ActioNet is seeking a Chief Engineer / Technical Integration Lead to serve as the technical anchor for a Navy tactical systems modernization program in San Diego. This is a hands-on architect role that combines enterprise integration architecture with genuine tactical data link (TDL) and C4I domain depth. You own the program's core technical products: the current-state assessment of a Government test and integration environment; the prioritized mission use case backlog; the C4I/JADC2 and TDL integration architecture concept; and the integration prototype plan that moves the program from planning into demonstration. You are the senior technical voice to the Government customer, the integrator of specialist inputs (cybersecurity, networking, infrastructure, mission SMEs), and the governance authority ensuring that work across all program lines of effort aligns to a common integration architecture.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate the customer's FY27 priorities across SME and software support, workforce development, and lab modernization into a sequenced technical integration baseline. Identify interfaces, dependencies, risks, and test criteria for prioritized network, compute, tactical data link, and C4I upgrades; coordinate technical inputs with the respective line-of-effort leads.
• Lead the technical assessment of an existing Navy test and integration environment: combat systems (virtual and physical), tactical data links, networks, virtualization, storage, and enterprise architecture, including integration constraints and modernization priorities.
• Develop the C4I/JADC2 (including IAMD) and TDL integration architecture concept: protocols, interfaces, data flows, integration pathways, dependencies, test objectives, and interoperability criteria.
