Jobs at Groundwater Modelling Decision Support Initiative (GMDSI)

Plans, develops, executes, and reports on firmware and software integration and verification testing for tactical communications systems. Reviews requirements and design documentation, investigates defects, performs root-cause analysis, verifies solutions, and enhances test automation. Supports laboratory configuration, customer installation and integration activities, troubleshooting, scheduling, risk tracking, and collaboration with systems, software, firmware, and hardware engineering teams. Travel is required for customer support.

Develop and integrate system requirements, interface specifications, information flows, and operational models for complex defense systems. Create MBSE diagrams and views using DNDAF and UAF, maintain requirements traceability, support verification and validation, and collaborate with Canadian Armed Forces stakeholders. The role also includes presenting technical status, managing deliverables and milestones, and contributing to mission-critical systems-of-systems capabilities involving communications, networks, intelligence, surveillance, and battle management.

Leads technical sales for international tactical communications products and services. Partners with business development, customers, partners, product management, and engineering teams to capture requirements, develop solutions, deliver demonstrations, support proposals, and provide technical customer advocacy. Provides expertise on networking and tactical communications, competitive positioning, system architecture, and emerging technologies while supporting international customer engagements, negotiations, and post-sale technical escalation.

Designs and develops mechanical systems for rugged military vehicle environments using CAD. Supports the full design lifecycle, including requirements, prototyping, assembly, verification, qualification, production ramp-up, documentation, cable routing, and manufacturing support. Collaborates with engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and program teams, performs 3D scanning, and travels to Canadian defence locations for vehicle assessments and installation activities.

Leads the capture, planning, execution, and delivery of complex international tactical communications and information systems programs. Manages cost, schedule, risk, quality, resources, customer relationships, compliance, and portfolio performance. Prepares program documentation and proposals, leads reviews, resolves issues, supports growth initiatives, and mentors cross-functional teams across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, commercial, and product functions.

Design and develop mechanical systems for rugged military vehicle environments across the full product lifecycle. Perform structural, dynamic, fatigue, vibration, and shock analyses; create designs, drawings, test fixtures, and reports; support qualification testing, manufacturing, requirements management, cable routing, 3D scanning, and installation activities. Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and program teams while supporting DND delivery requirements.

Develops secure system architectures and cybersecurity controls for defense systems. Performs threat modeling, vulnerability assessments, security testing, exploitability analysis, and risk assessments. Creates security test procedures, system security plans, audit artifacts, and security reports while supporting SA&A activities and military security standards. The role also includes stakeholder engagement, technical validation, mentoring junior personnel, and vulnerability remediation tracking.

Develop system requirements, interface specifications, models, use cases, and information flows for a Canadian Armed Forces C5ISR-T program. Apply MBSE techniques using DNDAF and UAF, maintain requirements traceability, support verification and validation activities, review test cases, produce VCRMs, and communicate status to internal and external stakeholders. The role also requires ownership of deliverables, milestone commitments, and collaboration with the Department of National Defence.

Provide technical leadership for GUI and human–computer interaction design on embedded military systems. Deliver hands-on prototypes and high-fidelity interfaces, mentor junior designers, create reusable design standards and specifications, integrate user-centred methods and usability testing within SAFe teams, and advise on appropriate AI/ML use in interfaces.

Perform systems and cybersecurity engineering for LC5ISR-T: design system/security architecture, author requirements and SA&A artifacts, conduct vulnerability assessments, support integration/test and SPR management, ensure compliance with NIST RMF/ITSG-33/DISA STIGs/FIPS, and collaborate with DND and program teams to improve resilience and deliver secure capabilities.
