The selected individual will join a high-performing agile team using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) methodology to support a nationally significant and fast-paced program. Program execution follows DEVOPS best practices and employs robust development, test, and production environments. We are using Test Driven Development (TDD) and test automation tools alongside a full suite of team collaboration tools in providing system engineering, development, test, integration, and operational support for a program that is injecting new technology and adding advanced capabilities, while continuing to support an on-going mission and operational system.
Primary Responsibilities
The selected candidate will be responsible for server/router/firewall configuration and security management of an environment that includes networking equipment from several different manufacturers, as well as Windows/Linux servers, databases, VMware, and security hardware/software. This position supports a network that includes local and geographically dispersed LAN enclaves connected by WAN links and will be part of a team that builds, maintains, troubleshoots, and develops enhancements for a large, complex set of geographically dispersed IT systems.
Responsibilities include:
• Planning and designing network components/configurations to ensure sufficient resources (hardware/software) for monitoring and managing IT infrastructure.
• Engineering solutions to expand capacity, improve response time, and streamline network operations.
• Monitoring and analyzing mission-critical networks and servers.
• Setting up, managing, and maintaining security management and application performance optimization functions across internal and customer systems.
• Providing network administration support for development, deployment, problem identification, and remediation.
• Supporting enterprise LAN/WAN evolution and collaborating with IT service provider teams to ensure requirements are met.
• Planning, designing, and implementing IT enhancements, including servers, clients, storage devices, and network components.
• Identifying and correcting hardware/software issues on servers, clients, and networks.
• Conducting analysis of existing configurations and developing plans for system enhancements.
• Installing and upgrading networks and servers (hardware/software).
• Proposing, designing, testing, and installing new capabilities.
• Assessing the impact of system changes and developing detailed upgrade/enhancement plans.
• Providing written and verbal status reports to leadership.
• Overseeing development and maintenance of technical documentation (rack elevations, installation instructions, “as-built” designs, etc.).
• Supporting the development and quality assurance of network/system CDRLs.
• Providing technical assistance to companion work groups in overlapping projects.
Required Education, Experience, & Skills
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with a minimum of eight (8) years of relevant experience

• Proficiency in network automation
• Cloud networking experience (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Knowledge of software-defined networking (SD-WAN)
• Proven ability to provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers
• Experience creating technical documentation (designs, implementation plans, technical notes)
• Skilled at briefing designs to review boards
• Knowledge of deploying MPLS networks
• Ability to learn, understand, and implement new technologies quickly
• Independent, self-directed learner with a track record of mastering complex concepts
Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills
• Advanced expertise in network engineering with emphasis on design, implementation, and management of complex networks
• Experience with large-scale network architecture and deployments
• Demonstrated success in resolving complex network issues and improving performance
• Strong willingness and ability to adopt and apply emerging technologies
