You'll use your skills in network design, architecture, Layer 2/3 technologies, and system interoperability to improve reliability, availability, and performance across mission - focused environments. You will also contribute to engineering efforts including implementation planning, technical reviews, test activities, and upgrades supporting enterprise - wide modernization.
You'll apply your knowledge in routing and switching, network design and architecture, IP engineering, network transport layers, updating network equipment, and performance monitoring as you join our team of problem-solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, emerging technology, and configurations will come in handy as you help optimize client operations and modernization initiatives. Using your experience in Cisco, Juniper, and other COTS hardware and network performance management, and your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects and make an impact on national security missions.
