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 you, an experienced network engineer who knows how to develop the exact network the DoD needs.

As a network engineer on our team, you'll use your experience in OSI Model, network transport layers, and multi-protocol label switching to support the nation's defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You'll develop enterprise-wide infrastructure and increase security, reliability, and availability for mission-critical network systems.

You'll apply your expertise 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.

Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, emerging technologies, and configurations will come in handy as you optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in network engineering, 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.

Further your career with us as we help to protect our DoD networks.
