Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable SATCOM 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 network engineer like you who knows how to develop the exact network for the DoD’s needs.

As a network engineer on our team, you’ll use your skills in network design and architecture, system interoperability, OSI model, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing, and forwarding to help support the nation’s defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You’ll upgrade or develop enterprise-wide infrastructure, troubleshoot and resolve complex network issues, analyze current working infrastructures, and increase security, reliability, and availability for mission-critical network systems.

You’ll apply your knowledge 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 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. Using your experience in cryptographic equipment, cryptography, key management, sof tware and hardware firewalls, Cisco hardware, Palo Alto firewalls, cloud migration, optical infrastructure networking, virtual routing and forwarding, and Solar Winds, 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.
