Communications & Networks Systems Analysis and Design Engineer-Technical Staff
Pubblicato il 13-08-2026 - Mit Lincoln Laboratory in Italia
How do we ensure critical data gets where it’s needed—when it’s needed—across Department of War (DoW) space, air, and surface platforms operating over vast distances? Our team works at the forefront of this challenge, developing advanced technologies, algorithms, and architectures that enable resilient, interoperable communications for the joint force. As part of the Communications Networks and Analysis group, you’ll develop and apply expertise in emerging line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications systems and software defined networking technologies to design and build robust connectivity solutions for users operating in congested and contested environments. Your work will directly improve the resilience and capacity of real-world communications systems and help integrate them seamlessly across platforms and domains. We take ideas from concept to reality through hands-on technical analysis, modeling, simulation, emulation, prototype development, and flight testing—giving you the opportunity to see your designs built, evaluated, and deployed to make a tangible impact.
Position Description
The Communications and Networks Systems Analysis and Design Engineer plays a key role in shaping next-generation communications and networking capabilities for the DoW. In this role, you will conduct system-level analyses to identify capability gaps and explore new approaches to resilient, high-performance communications. You will help close these gaps by designing and implementing novel systems, algorithms, and protocols across all layers of the network stack.
You’ll work as part of highly collaborative, multidisciplinary teams that bring together expertise in systems analysis, communications theory, networking, information assurance, systems engineering, RF, and digital hardware and software. This position offers hands-on opportunities to take ideas from concept through implementation and evaluation, and to collaborate with government sponsors, academic partners, an
