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. However, 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. Thats 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 will 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 nations defense and respond to evolving adversaries.

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 will serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects. Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you will make an impact on national security missions.
