Network Engineer

The Opportunity:

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable our client to achieve their missions, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their current and evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need you, an experienced network engineer who knows how to develop the exact network the Air Force needs.

As a network engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience in network design and architecture, system interoperability, OSI model, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing and forwarding to support the nation’s defense. You’ll upgrade and develop enterprise-wide infrastructure, troubleshoot and resolve complex network issues, analyze current working infrastructures as we expand from on-prem to the cloud 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 join our team of problem-solvers to assist our client with their critical needs. Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, and emerging technologies will come in handy as you optimize client operations and modernization.

Using your experience in software and hardware firewalls, Cisco hardware, Palo Alto firewalls, cloud migration, optical infrastructure networking, virtual routing and forwarding, you’ll serve as a trusted 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. Join us. The world can’t wait.
