C2 Integration Subject Matter Expert

Capstone Research Corporation•Huntsville, AL

About The Position

Capstone Research Corporation is seeking to expand our team. Capstone Research Corporation is headquartered in Huntsville Alabama. We are a customer-oriented engineering services company providing world class research and development support across the Department of Defense (DoD): Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Capstone offers 100% Company Provided Medical and Dental Insurance, Matching 401K, and Profit Sharing as part of our top-notch benefits package. Compensation for this position will be determined, but not limited to, factors such as responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, alignment with market data, and internal equity. We have an immediate opening for a C2 Integration Subject Matter Expert to support Joint Missile Defense in Huntsville, AL. In this role, you will perform as lead systems engineer for next-generation missile defense integration, focus on the "brain" of the kill web-defining how data moves from sensor to shooter across domains to enable fire control and assist the government in defining how disparate Service capabilities fuse data to form a single, engaging picture and execute engagement chains with fire-control quality precision.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or related technical field
Experience: 20+ years of experience in defense systems engineering, with at least 10 years dedicated to C2, Battle Management, or Fire Control
BMC2 Systems: Direct experience with Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) systems and their architectural constructs
Data Links: Deep knowledge of Tactical Data Links (TDL) and message standards (Link-16, JREAP, VMF, etc.)
Track Management: Strong understanding of tracking logic (correlation, fusion, conflict resolution) and network participation modes
Engagement Chains: Experience analyzing architectures for "sensor-to-shooter" loops and fire control closures

Nice To Haves

Experience identifying and assessing technologies for JADC2 (Joint All-Domain Command and Control) or similar multi-domain initiatives
Previous experience supporting a Capability Developer or Program Office in a SETA capacity
Familiarity with Mission Engineering principles-mapping system interoperability directly to mission thread execution
Master's degree

Responsibilities

Plan & Execute Technical Tasks: Develop and manage detailed engineering plans and integration roadmaps on behalf of the customer, ensuring critical milestones are met and technical resources are aligned with program priorities
Lead Joint C2 Architectural Analysis: Define engineering strategies, behaviors, and information exchange requirements that enable seamless interoperability between Service-specific C2 nodes
Analyze Multi-Domain Fire Control: Evaluate "Kill Webs" and sensor-to-shooter loops to ensure architectures support Fire Control Quality (FCQ) data
Optimize Battle Management (BM) Logic: Advise the government on technical trade-offs between battle management architectures, assessing impacts on engagement timelines, fire control loops, and network resiliency
Support Capability Development: Draft and refine requirements for future C2 increments, translating broad operational needs into specific engineering specifications
Mitigate Integration Risks: Identify and resolve risks related to joint BMC2
Verify Vendor Compliance: Review vendor architectures and interface implementations to ensure they meet mission performance parameters
Align with Warfighter Needs: Collaborate with combatant commands to identify current battle management gaps and evaluate proposed architectures against realistic operational scenarios
