Network Engineer

The Opportunity:

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable organizations to achieve their missions, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their current and 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 you, a network engineer who knows how to develop the exact network the Navy needs. 

As a Network Engineer on our team, you’ll use your skills in Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, including virtual local area networks (VLANs), trunking, EtherChannel, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), access control lists (ACLs), network address translation (NAT), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and Domain Name System (DNS) to help support the nation’s defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You will be integrating and troubleshooting network security technologies, including firewalls, proxies, and identity-based access control solutions such as Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE), Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus (TACACS+), and Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS).

You’ll apply your knowledge in routing and switching, integration of encryption gear, network design and architecture, system interoperability, IP engineering, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing, and forwarding as you join our team of problem-solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. 

Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, emerging technology, and configurations will come in handy as you help optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in networking and security, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects. Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you’ll make an impact on national security missions.  

Grow your career with us as we help to optimize and protect our country’s naval fleet.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
