Sometimes a customer describes a challenge, and the network diagram appears instantly in your mind, along with the thought that you can make it better and build a smarter solution. When you have engineered, integrated, and evaluated advanced wireless network technologies across a variety of military mission environments, you reach a point where you can visualize and create future network capabilities while anticipating the technical hurdles before they appear.
You become the wireless networks engineer trusted to turn early concepts into functional prototypes and mission‑ready solutions. You developed expertise through years of hands‑on work with operational and tactical radio and network systems, modern software architectures, and a deep understanding of how applications, transports, waveforms, and mission services operate on both disconnected, degraded, intermittent, and limited (D-DIL) networks and enterprise, resilient, high‑performance networks.
Are you ready to apply your knowledge, skill, and experience to some of the toughest networking challenges in defense? As a wireless networks engineer on our team, you will support concept development, prototype design, and solutions ideation for next‑generation network capabilities. You will oversee research, design, planning, integration, and evaluation of advanced wireless and high‑speed transport technologies by translating customer needs and strategic objectives into actionable architectures and prototype implementations of new and novel solutions.
You will conduct in‑depth assessments of customer requirements, perform network modeling and simulation activities, evaluate and optimize performance, and provide technical consulting to define solution requirements to optimize for mission application needs. Your work will help shape how the Department of War evolves and adopts future networking technologies, from exploratory concepts and experimental prototypes to fully integrated operational systems. You will refine technical roadmaps, deliver solution briefs, collaborate with stakeholders, and represent innovative wireless capabilities at demonstrations and technical events.
Once you have mastered these responsibilities, the next step is to mentor emerging engineers and help guide the next generation of wireless networking innovators. Work with us and help build the future of advanced network technology in defense for the better.
