What they're building

Engineering on the DAF Battle Network (C3BM) strong signal

Today: Site lists subsea cable software, OTEC, SWAC, marine HDPE pipelines and ocean tech, and cites federal markets and subsea communications/sensor networks; it does not describe Air Force Battle Network work.

Roles: C3BM - Journeyman Systems Engineer (Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio) · C3BM - Journeyman Systems Engineer (Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts) · C3BM - Senior Systems Engineer (Support MIT) · C3BM - Senior Systems Engineer

Requirements mention: Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) · DAF Battle Network · Systems Engineering across the acquisition lifecycle · MBSE · SysML modeling · DoD architecture models

Inference: the Engineering hiring is for systems engineering and architecture work on the DAF Battle Network, work the company's site does not describe.

Program and delivery management for C3BM programs moderate signal

Today: Site lists subsea cable software, OTEC, SWAC, marine HDPE pipelines and ocean tech; it does not describe Air Force Battle Network work.

Roles: C3BM - Senior Program Manager · Senior Program Manager · C3BM SCRUM Master / Project Manager

Requirements mention: Acquisition Program Management · RFP, SOW, and CDRL Development · Program Integration and Contractor Management · Scrum Master · program risk management

Inference: the program management and Agile delivery roles suggest the Battle Network work is run as managed acquisition programs that include contractor oversight.

Digital twin modeling and NetWorthiness process support for Air Force networks moderate signal

Today: Site lists ocean and numerical modeling among its expertise; it does not mention digital twins of Air Force networks.

Roles: C3BM SCRUM Master / Project Manager · Senior Program Manager

Requirements mention: digital twin models · digital twin modeling · NetWorthiness process · Integrate emerging technologies

Inference: both roles name digital twin modeling, which suggests digital twin work on AF networks and systems is active. The SCRUM Master role also supports a NetWorthiness process the posting describes as already newly designed and approved.

Readiness and medical data products for Air Combat Command weak signal

Today: Site lists subsea cable software, OTEC, SWAC, marine HDPE pipelines and ocean tech; it does not mention readiness or medical data.

Roles: GCCS - ACC Readiness Data Analyst · GCCS - Data Scientist (ACC/SG)

Requirements mention: analyzing unit readiness data · Unit Summary Statements (USS) · predictive modeling · machine-learning workflows · ontology design · Workshop · Quiver

No inference: two roles at one site are too few to read a next step.

All nine open roles were posted in a four-day batch (2026-09-28 to 2026-10-01), with none in the prior 30 days; seven are tied to the Air Force C3BM / Battle Network effort and weighted toward engineering and program management at Hanscom AFB.

Who they need

Seniority: 5 senior and 4 mid-level roles.

Skills named most: Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) (5), DAF Battle Network (4), DoDI 5000.02 (4), Systems Engineering across the acquisition lifecycle (3), Systems Architecture and Integration (3), Requirements Analysis and Development (3), Mission Integration and System-of-Systems Engineering (3), DevSecOps (3), Agile methodologies, CI/CD, DevSecOps, and DevOps principles (2), Power BI (2), Tableau (2), Excel (2)

Locations: Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts (6 roles, one flagged remote: Senior Program Manager); Fort Eustis, Virginia (2 roles); Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio (1 role). The remote flag is not tied to a country in the postings.

How to use this

If you're applying: Nine roles opened in the last 30 days, mostly Engineering and program management at Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts. Check each fit line against the posting before applying; the postings list requirements, not certifications.

If you're selling or recruiting: Seven of the nine open roles are Department of the Air Force Battle Network (C3BM) work, not the subsea products on the site. Lead with C3BM systems engineering and program management: the four Engineering roles and the six Hanscom AFB roles show where the hiring is concentrated.
