This individual will help maintain CANES systems, contribute to integration and modernization efforts, and provide technical input during technical interchange meetings and other engineering discussions where subject matter expertise is needed. The role requires the ability to independently evaluate complex technical conditions, apply sound engineering judgment, and develop effective solutions that maintain operational continuity, support mission objectives, and meet cybersecurity and compliance requirements.
Responsibilities

Configure, maintain, troubleshoot, and assess network infrastructure supporting CANES Hardware 1.2, Software 3, and CANES Hardware 3, Software 5, and Agile Core Services (ACS)
Support CANES and ACS sustainment, system maintenance, troubleshooting, technical refresh, and operational readiness within an established baseline
Support the integration, testing, validation, and fielding of new CANES capabilities and added functionality into existing environments
Configure and troubleshoot routed and switched network infrastructure in a CANES environment, including routing, switching, VLANs, segmentation, and secure enclave connectivity
Support boundary defense, secure transport, and access control technologies used alongside CANES, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, TACLANE or VPN-type encryption, and related secure communications controls
Support ADNS sustainment, troubleshooting, baseline management, and configuration changes required to support operational needs and potential project efforts
Support virtualization and infrastructure platforms impacting CANES operations, including VMware, ESXi, vCenter, Hyper-V, Windows Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as applicable
Analyze technical issues, determine root cause and operational impact, and implement effective corrective actions to maintain operational continuity and mission support
Produce and maintain technical documentation, including diagrams, configurations, implementation details, interface documentation, troubleshooting guides, and engineering support records
Attend technical interchange meetings and other engineering forums and provide subject matter expertise where applicable
Collaborate with cybersecurity, systems administration, engineering, and leadership teams to support mission, compliance, and integration requirements
Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Educational Requirements
Required:

Bachelor's degree in related fields such as networking, computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, or a closely related discipline

Equivalent specialized knowledge customarily acquired through a combination of military training, formal technical instruction, certifications, and substantial progressively responsible practical experience performing work of comparable scope, complexity, and independent judgment
Security+ (DoD IAT Level II) or ability to meet requirements within six months of employment
CCNA (or higher)
This position requires an existing U.S. Government DoD granted security clearance/eligibility at the final Secret level, and a favorably adjudicated T5/T5R (or equivalent) background investigation. Individual must maintain the necessary security requirements for continued employment. U.S. Citizenship is required.

Experience
Required:

Minimum 6 years of progressively responsible experience in network engineering, network administration, or network operations within a DoD, enterprise, lab, test, or other complex technical environment
Hands-on experience implementing, configuring, troubleshooting, and sustaining network infrastructure, including routing, switching, VLANs, secure enclave connectivity, firewalls, ACS, TACLANEs or other encryption devices, and related boundary defense technologies
Experience supporting CANES architecture, sustainment, troubleshooting, and integration activities, including work associated with CANES Hardware Variant 1.2 and 3.0
Experience supporting ADNS, including troubleshooting, baseline management, and implementation of configuration changes, or demonstrated ability to quickly learn ADNS architecture and apply that knowledge in support of operational and project requirements.
Experience analyzing complex network environments, evaluating technical issues, determining root cause and operational impact, and developing effective solutions to support operational, integration, and test objectives
Experience applying cybersecurity and compliance requirements within operational environments, including STIGs, vulnerability remediation, RMF, and ATO support
Experience producing technical documentation and communicating network status, risks, recommendations, and implementation details clearly to internal stakeholders and customers

Preferred:

Experience supporting classified and unclassified enclaves in Navy, MDA, NIWC Pacific, or other DoD test, fleet, or laboratory environments
Experience supporting CANES technical refresh, modernization, or added capability efforts within an existing baseline
Experience with Program of Record, GOTS, and COTS technologies such as ADNS, CANES, TACLANEs, VoIP/VTC, or similar network systems
Experience supporting integration, testing, validation, or fielding of new CANES capabilities in lab, test, or operational environments
Experience with ACAS, Nessus, SCAP, eMASS, VRAM, CeDAR, or other RMF and ATO support tools and processes
Experience supporting VMware, ESXi, vCenter, Hyper-V, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or related infrastructure platforms
