Key skills for this role
A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable the Air Force to achieve their missions, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and sof tware, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need a seasoned network engineer like you who knows how to develop the exact network our Air Force and warfighters need.
As a network engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience in deep design to architect the networks beneath next-generation Command and Control ( C2 ) systems, from enterprise cores out to the tactical edge, where links are contested and bandwidth is never a given to support the nation’s defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You’ll design end to end, including routing and switching architectures, SD-WAN overlays, and the network security that protects mission traffic, and increase security, reliability, and availability for mission-critical network systems.
You’ll apply your expertise in routing and switching, integration of encryption gear, network design and architecture, system interoperability, IP engineering, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing, and forwarding as you guide our team of problem-solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies.
Your knowledge of emerging technology and configurations will come in handy as you optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited-bandwidth ( DDIL ) and disconnected edge environments where the network has to degrade g race fully and recover on its own, you’ll serve as a t rus ted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects. Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you’ll make an impact on national security missions.
Advance your career with us as we help exceed technical leadership expectations. You'll set the patterns the rest of the team builds on.
Join us. The world can’t wait.
