Job Details
A top-tier defense technology integrator is seeking a Network Engineering SME to architect and secure enterprise- and tactical-grade networks for a next-gen airborne communications program. This full-time, high-impact role will lead the design, validation, and deployment of multi-domain, secure networking solutions across SATCOM, software-defined radios, and software-defined networking (SDN). Active TS/SCI clearance required.
In this role, you'll shape the architecture behind a major digital infrastructure initiative spanning 2025-2027. You'll be hands-on in lab integration, SD-WAN setup, cross-domain security design, and DevSecOps pipeline alignment-building the critical backbone that connects airborne platforms to the DAF BATTLE NETWORK.
