Unified Communications Engineer

High Side Technology is looking for a Unified Communications Engineer who can develop, deploy, and support the collaboration capabilities for the Navy. Reliable, secure communications are essential to mission success, but how can an organization ensure its voice, video, and collaboration infrastructure will support both current operations and evolving mission requirements? Designing, integrating, and sustaining enterprise collaboration solutions requires a combination of technical expertise and careful planning.

As a Unified Communications Engineer on our team, you'll use your expertise in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), Voice over IP (VoIP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), voice gateways, dial plans, Cisco Meeting Server (CMS), and collaboration applications such as Cisco Jabber, Webex, and Microsoft Teams to support mission‑critical communications. You will configure, integrate, and troubleshoot Cisco voice, video, and conferencing solutions while ensuring secure, reliable, and highly available collaboration services.

You'll apply your knowledge of Cisco collaboration technologies, voice and video endpoints, conferencing platforms, enterprise networking, virtualization, and IP communications to help deploy and sustain secure collaboration capabilities across classified environments. Working alongside a team of technical experts, you'll solve complex interoperability and operational challenges while supporting the modernization of Navy communications systems.

Your knowledge of Cisco collaboration technologies, enterprise networking, emerging communications platforms, and industry best practices will help optimize mission operations and improve user collaboration. Using your experience with voice, video, and collaboration technologies, you'll serve as a trusted technical advisor supporting mission‑critical programs while helping the Department of Defense deploy next‑generation communications capabilities.
