We are looking for a talented APM-E Engineer to provide direct technical and systems engineering support to the Assistant Program Manager - Engineering (APM E), facilitating engineering integration, technical rigor, and effective communication across Navy afloat and enterprise network modernization efforts. The role also includes responsibility for managing technical interfaces with external Program Management Offices (PMWs) and ensuring engineering alignment with NAVWAR, IT, and Cybersecurity Technical Authority standards, architectures, and processes. This is a full-time position working out of San Diego, CA. If you are comfortable in intense, fast-paced environments, can think on your feet, and can excel in team-based collaborative efforts, then this may be the right job for you. You Will: * Serve as the primary technical engineering support to the APM E, providing expert-level insight, recommendations, technical decision support, and preparation of technical assessments to support APM E delegated Technical Decision Authority (TDA). * Lead systems and network engineering integration efforts for modernization, upgrades, and cyber-related enhancements to afloat and enterprise network architectures, ensuring the engineering and technical integrity of PMW 160 systems (e.g., CANES, ADNS, and integrated tactical network baselines) across Surface, Subsurface, and Shore platforms. * Represent engineering interests at Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings and act as the technical liaison between the APM E, cross functional engineering teams, matrixed PMW personnel, and external PMWs. * Coordinate development, tracking, and delivery of program prioritized Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Change Requests (CRs), reviewing impacts to technical interfaces, network boundaries, address allocations, and system baselines. * Perform systems engineering services across the full project lifecycle, including requirements definition, system test and integration, design documentation, and incorporation of digital engineering models, decomposed technical requirements, and testable measures of performance. * Develop, update, and maintain system configuration documentation, troubleshooting guides, interface diagrams, and technical traceability artifacts. * Develop and revise system architectures to improve performance, stability, supportability, and long-term sustainability, ensuring mission level interoperability and accurate data flows across tactical networks. * Manage technical interfaces and coordination with external PMWs to ensure alignment, integration, and effective communication across programs. * Lead or support technical review events, including System Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs), SOVT verification reviews, Risk/Issue/Opportunity (RIO) adjudication, and the development of technical review action plans. * Support Tactical Network Platform (i.e., CANES) engineering, including topology design, switching/routing protocols, VLAN segmentation, virtualization baselines, and cybersecurity compliant configurations. * Support the engineering and integration of Tactical Network WAN (i.e., ADNS) boundaries, including policy routing, QoS, traffic shaping, and transport path selection for ship to shore WAN communications. * Assess, track, and manage cyber, systems engineering, and test & evaluation risks throughout the program life cycle, escalating unresolved technical disagreements through the Technical Authority chain when necessary. * Gather operational feedback from fleet users and ISEAs and integrate fleet identified deficiencies into upcoming software releases and technical refreshes. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Valven Atlas: Engineering Intelligence That Delivers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1660-valven-atlas-engineering-intelligence-that-delivers) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) - [Your Infrastructure Is Not a Playground: AI Agents for Infra Done Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2084-your-infrastructure-is-not-a-playground-ai-agents-for-infra-done-right) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology)
