Job Description
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
At Refined Concepts, you won’t just maintain networks—you’ll architect and secure mission-critical systems that directly support national security operations. This role is designed for senior engineers who want real technical ownership, influence over enterprise architecture, and the opportunity to build and operate solutions that matter. You’ll work in a high-trust, high-impact environment supporting open and classified enterprise networks, collaborating with systems, cybersecurity, and cloud teams to design resilient and secure infrastructure at scale.
Experience in space and space ground systems, highly available, fault tolerant, and real-time monitored data transport solutions, secure end-to-end application development, and tuning of systems for real-time high throughput operations is highly desired. As well as experience with Cisco, Palo Alto, and Keysight equipment.
