Advance how our customers operate while you advance your career. Join GDIT as a SATCOM Systems Specialist and build an impactful career in enterprise IT, collaborating with people who are driven and resourceful like you.

GDIT is seeking an experienced SATCOM Systems Specialist to support U.S. Army Europe operations in Be'er Sheva Israel. This role focuses on the deployment, operation, and sustainment of military SATCOM systems and RF‑based communications capabilities essential to mission success. The ideal candidate brings hands‑on military SATCOM experience, strong RF knowledge, and the ability to execute field deployments in dynamic environments. The candidate will participate in rotational shift-work facilitating 24/7/365 coverage to site operations and maintenance. While SATCOM support is the primary duty, the candidate may be required to provide initial triage of system administration and network administration of site equipment providing strategic NIPR and SIPR services; thus a well-rounded background in IT systems knowledge and support is desired.

Experience configuring and maintaining network devices (switches/routers). CCNA/CCNP network certification a plus.
Experience with tactical and strategic SATCOM systems (X‑band, Ka‑band, Ku‑band).
Understanding of how SATCOM systems interface with IP‑based communications (without being network‑focused).
Strong problem‑solving skills in operational or austere environments.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
