About Us

Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $4.5B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do:

The Adaptive Network Infrastructure Security Engineer focuses on implementing, configuring, and maintaining a modern, self-adapting, AI-optimized network that serves as the transport backbone for the organization's enterprise AI Fabric. The engineer will be responsible for deploying Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) capabilities, enforcing a Zero Trust architecture, and configuring virtual and physical devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. As a hands-on technical expert, this position ensures network security, performance, and scalability for AI workloads and standard enterprise traffic.

Key Responsibilities:

Zero Trust & SASE Implementation:

Implement and enforce Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) policies aligned to NIST 800-207 and CMMC compliance requirements.
Configure network segmentation, micro-segmentation, and least-privilege access across environments for users, devices, and AI agents.
Deploy and manage Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) within the SASE framework.
Manage ongoing performance tuning and policy management for all SASE technologies.

AI Fabric Network Operations:

Maintain low-latency, high-throughput network paths optimized for AI model inference traffic, LLM API calls, and real-time agent communication.
Implement AI-aware Quality of Service (QoS) policies that prioritize AI workload traffic alongside standard enterprise traffic.
Monitor and optimize network performance using telemetry data to proactively identify and remediate bottlenecks.

Core Networking & Automation:

Provide Tier II/III support to end-users and junior technicians for campus network and telecommunications infrastructure.
Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Ansible, Terraform, and Python-based scripting to eliminate manual configuration.
Configure network hardware and software, including both physical and virtual infrastructure across cloud environments.
Deploy observability platforms to enable proactive incident detection and automated remediation workflows.

Compliance & Governance:

Support network architectures and operations to maintain compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2.
Manage secrets, credentials, and sensitive configuration data securely.
Execute tenant-to-tenant migrations, workload placement, and cross-cloud connectivity.

Qualifications

Education:
- Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Network Engineering, or related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience from which comparable knowledge and job skills can be obtained.

Experience:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting enterprise infrastructure, network engineering, and security operations.
- Experience with ticketing systems, remote support tools, and troubleshooting in a corporate IT environment.
- Experience implementing Zero Trust architecture, SASE platforms, and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
- Hands-on background with network automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Python) and Infrastructure as Code methodologies.
Other Requirements:
- U.S. Citizenship required.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance (Active Secret preferred).
- Ability to obtain and maintain CMMC Level 2 certification.
- Ability to travel to project and customer locations as needed.

- Proficiency with network management software (FMC, Panorama, FortiManager, Meraki) and monitoring software (SolarWinds, Nagios, Zabbix, Science Logic).
- Familiarity with SDWAN, Viptela, ION, and cross-cloud integrations (Azure Network Security Group, Microsoft Entra).
- Knowledge of machine identity management and ZTNA policy design for AI agents and automated systems.
- Troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office 365 suite, including SharePoint, Word, Outlook, and Excel.
