Systems Analyst (Tactical Networks – CANES) | Active Secret clearance

Bring clarity to complexity as a Systems Analyst with GDIT. You’ll translate mission needs into actionable requirements and data-driven decisions for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) and related Navy tactical network efforts with NIWC Pacific (Codes 55131/55132/55133) in support of PMW-160. Your analysis will span ashore, afloat, subsurface, airborne, mobile, and joint environments, accelerating delivery of resilient, interoperable capabilities to the Fleet.
