C2 Operations SME

Job Summary: T3i provides experienced operational professionals to support defense programs that require deep warfighter credibility. The C2 Operations SME will provide critical support to the Government’s enterprise war room command-and-control (EWRC2) program - a multi-domain, browser-based single-pane-of-glass capability consolidating sensors, effectors, and mission systems into a unified common operational picture (COP). Critical mission data includes space, air, ground, and maritime; air and missile defense; counter-UAS; and early-warning. The COP operates across multiple classification enclaves (e.g., SIPR, JWICS, partner networks) and across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments. Mission continuity in contested and disconnected environments is a core capability of the system. The C2 Operations SME will receive training on the EWRC2 system and be embedded alongside government end users to ensure the system is employed to its full operational potential. The SME will work directly with end users on a daily basis and regularly engage with senior Government leaders to ensure maximum employment and impact of the EWRC2 system.
