Job Profile: C4IT Engineer, Senior Job Description: The C4IT Engineer is responsible for providing technical integration, interface management, and execution support for a large and complex command and control facility project at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. The position supports the integration of C4IT within the contract for the design, construction, commissioning, accreditation, and turnover of a highly secure, mission-critical headquarters and command-and-control facility. The C4IT Engineer will coordinate facility-to-payload interfaces involving telecommunications, networks, mission systems, audiovisual systems, data-center infrastructure, power, cooling, security boundaries, pathways, rooms, and operational technology. The C4IT Engineer will serve as a primary technical interface for C4IT among the Program Management Office, the Owner’s Advisor, the Progressive Design-Build contractor, facility designers, security stakeholders, commissioning personnel, and operations representatives. The role requires the ability to convert mission and technology requirements into clear facility interfaces, track dependencies through design and construction, identify impacts to scope and schedule, and support timely resolution of technical issues. The successful candidate will be able to clearly communicate the status of C4IT actions and decisions, ownership and due dates, affected systems or deliverables, supporting evidence for closure, and unresolved issues affecting cost, schedule, quality, security, commissioning, accreditation, or facility acceptance. The C4IT Engineer will support a project that includes a separate data center and Central Utility Plant, a four-story command and control facility, and a Joint Operations Center with secure, resilient, and mission-critical infrastructure. The position will support the project throughout design development, construction, systems integration, commissioning oversight, security accreditation support, facility turnover, and closeout. What You’ll Be Doing: C4IT Integration and Interface Management Develop, maintain, and administer a Live Interface Register that identifies C4IT installation milestones, facility dependencies, responsible parties, required decisions, constraints, and evidence of closure. Map C4IT requirements to facility design elements, including rooms, pathways, power, cooling, grounding and bonding, telecommunications spaces, equipment clearances, security boundaries, and access requirements. Coordinate facility design and construction activities with the separate C4IT contract to prevent interface conflicts and schedule disruption. Identify critical-path interdependencies between facility construction, C4IT equipment installation, systems integration, testing, commissioning, and operational acceptance. Facilitate technical integration meetings among the Design-Builder, C4IT contractor, government stakeholders, security personnel, commissioning representatives, and facility operations teams. Track C4IT decisions, action items, risks, assumptions, interface boundaries, and changes through project information-management systems. Design Review and Technical Validation Review design submissions, shop drawings, equipment layouts, technical submittals, RFIs, requests for clarification, and design changes affecting C4IT systems or facility interfaces. Verify that C4IT-related facility infrastructure supports applicable Owner’s Project Requirements, performance-based specifications, mission requirements, and approved design criteria. Review telecommunications rooms, entrance facilities, cable pathways, equipment rooms, raised access floors, utilidors, cable trays, work-area outlets, equipment clearances, and related infrastructure. Evaluate design coordination for classified and unclassified network separation, secure pathways, telecommunications grounding, equipment bonding, and facility security boundaries. Support technical reviews of data-center cabinet layouts, rack densities, power requirements, cooling requirements, network pathways, and future expansion provisions. Coordinate with technical authorities and security stakeholders regarding SCIF, SAP, TEMPEST, RF-shielding, and HEMP-related C4IT interfaces. Participate in interdisciplinary design reviews and constructability reviews to identify C4IT risks before they affect construction or installation. Data Center and High-Density Computing Coordination Support coordination of the standalone data center and associated infrastructure for mission data processing, storage, networking, and high-performance computing. Review data-center planning assumptions for cabinet quantities, cabinet densities, classification zones, power distribution, cooling capacity, equipment access, and maintainability. Support coordination of high-density and liquid-cooling requirements, including facility power, chilled-water, cooling-distribution-unit, pathway, and equipment-room interfaces. Track changes in rack density, technology refresh, equipment footprints, heat loads, and power requirements that may affe
