Network Engineer, Senior

Network Engineer, Senior The Opportunity: A well-designed network is critical to

move data and enable the Department of Defense (DoD) to achieve their missions,

but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their evolving

needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software,

requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we

need a seasoned Network Engineer like you who knows how to develop the exact

network the DoD needs. As a Network Engineer on our team, you’ll use your

experience in network design and architecture, system interoperability, OSI

model, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway

protocol, and virtual routing and forwarding to support the nation’s defense and

respond to evolving adversaries. You’ll develop enterprise-wide infrastructure

design, troubleshoot and resolve complex network issues, analyze current working

infrastructures, and increase security, reliability, and availability for

critical network systems. You’ll apply your expertise in routing and switching,

network design and architecture, system interoperability, IP engineering,

network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, and

virtual routing and forwarding as you guide our team of problem-solvers to help

the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. Your knowledge of

enterprise-level network protocols, equipment, emerging technology, and

configurations will come in handy as you optimize client operations and

modernization. Using your experience in software and hardware firewalls, Cisco

hardware, Palo Alto firewalls, Juniper hardware, and optical infrastructure

networking, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on critical projects.

Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you’ll make

an impact on national security missions. Join us. The world can't wait.
