Job Description
Overview
VTG is seeking a Network Design Engineer to support U.S. Army network infrastructure modernization. This individual serves as a critical bridge between the site survey and implementation teams by transforming field-collected survey data into engineering designs, technical documentation, contract deliverables, and installation packages.
What will you do?
The successful candidate will analyze site survey findings, develop "as-is" and "to-be" network architectures, create implementation documentation, and produce engineering artifacts required to support Army network modernization efforts. This role is responsible for converting customer requirements and field observations into executable technical designs that can be deployed by implementation teams.
The position will work closely with site survey personnel, network engineers, implementation teams, cybersecurity specialists, and government stakeholders to ensure modernization activities are accurately engineered, documented, and delivered.
