Overview

Agensys Corporation is seeking a Technical Control Engineer to support mission-critical secure communications operations within a highly controlled federal environment. This role supports a communications control center responsible for monitoring, maintaining, and restoring classified voice and data circuits, including systems hardened against electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) and operating under strict DoD and DISA requirements.

This position is best suited for professionals with hands-on experience operating inside technical control facilities, supporting classified circuits, encryption devices, and communications infrastructure in a 24x7 operational setting.

Key Responsibilities

Secure Communications Operations

• Perform operational technical control functions on government-owned or leased secure voice and data circuits
• Monitor, operate, troubleshoot, and restore communications systems supporting classified operations
• Execute fault isolation, circuit restoration, and service recovery under time-sensitive conditions
• Maintain situational awareness across active circuits, outages, maintenance activities, and contingency operations

Technical Control & Cryptographic Systems

• Operate and maintain encryption devices and secure communications equipment (e.g., KG-series, KIV-series, TACLANEs, or equivalent)
• Execute cryptographic functions including device setup, keying, re-keying, and device substitution
• Ensure compliance with DISA operating instructions, technical directives, and security procedures
• Support patching, testing, and validation of communications systems and control facilities

Documentation, Monitoring & Compliance

• Maintain accurate technical control operating records, including circuit history folders, logs, outage reports, and restoration documentation
• Track trouble tickets, maintenance actions, and performance metrics in accordance with established procedures
• Support performance monitoring, trend analysis, and quality assurance testing
• Contribute to the development and refinement of technical control operating procedures

Contingency & Exercise Support

• Support communications contingency planning, exercises, and restoration plans under DoD operational scenarios
• Participate in operational testing, drills, and readiness assessments
• Maintain readiness to support emergency operations and high-visibility mission events

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Successful candidates typically bring:

• Direct experience working inside a technical control facility (TCF) or equivalent secure communications environment
• Hands-on responsibility for classified circuit operations, not just monitoring or reporting
• Working knowledge of encryption devices, secure voice/data systems, and DISA operational guidance
• Comfort operating in 24x7 mission environments, including nights, weekends, and rotating shifts
• The ability to troubleshoot under pressure, document accurately, and follow disciplined operational procedures

Required Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI clearance (SCI eligible)
• DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification (Security+ or equivalent)
• Experience supporting technical control, communications control, or secure network operations
• Strong working knowledge of secure voice and data communications systems
• Experience with fault isolation, circuit restoration, and operational testing
• Ability to work rotating shifts in a secure, onsite environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Military or civilian technical controller training (or equivalent operational experience)
• Experience supporting HEMP-hardened or continuity communications environments
• Background in circuit provisioning, patching, frame connections, and cross-connects
• Experience supporting contingency operations, exercises, or emergency communications
• Familiarity with COMSEC handling and procedures
