Technica Corporation is seeking a highly motivated, dynamic, self-directed individual for the Air Force Base Infrastructure Modernization (BIM)
Network Engineer position. This position will support the design, implementation, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment of a modernized base wired network infrastructure. The network engineer works under general supervision and provides solutions to technical problems of moderate scope and complexity.

This role will support a mission-critical infrastructure modernization program that uses Juniper switches, a standards-based leaf-spine campus architecture, a high-availability IP fabric design, secure segmentation, and centralized network operations.

The Network Engineer will serve as a technical contributor, implementing resilient wired network architectures with a scalable, routed IP fabric. The selected candidate will work closely with network architects, cybersecurity engineers, wireless engineers, systems engineers, operations teams, OEM partners, and Government stakeholders to ensure the modernized network supports mission assurance, cybersecurity compliance, operational resiliency, and long‑term scalability.

Responsibilities:

• Configure, test, deploy, and sustain Juniper‑based EVPN‑VXLAN network fabric solutions across Air Force base environments.
• Support the establishment of a Network Integration Lab (NIL) with a representative network infrastructure design for qualification testing and acceptance.
• Implement, configure, and troubleshoot EVPN‑VXLAN components, including routed underlay, VXLAN overlay, BGP EVPN control plane, VRFs, VNIs, VLAN‑to‑VNI mapping, distributed gateway functions, and fabric edge services.
• Support migration from legacy hierarchical Layer 2/Layer 3 network designs to modern Layer 3 leaf‑spine architectures that reduce spanning tree dependencies and improve resiliency.
• Implement secure network segmentation for mission, administrative, management, wireless, guest, and other enclaves using VLANs, VRFs, VXLAN overlays, ACLs, and routing policy.
• Configure and validate Junos routing, switching, interface, QoS, management, logging, authentication, and security controls in accordance with approved design baselines.
• Support integration of wired network services with wireless infrastructure, NAC/AAA services, Clear Pass or equivalent policy platforms, and centralized network management tools.
• Participate in site surveys, current‑state assessments, network discovery, port mapping, fiber/uplink validation, migration planning, cutover planning, and installation readiness reviews.
• Develop and execute network test procedures, including failover testing, redundancy validation, segmentation testing, QoS validation, performance testing, and operational acceptance testing.
• Support RMF, ATO, DISA STIG, vulnerability remediation, secure configuration, audit logging, and compliance validation activities for network infrastructure.
• Provide escalation support for local Tier 2 base operations and coordinate with centralized Tier 3/4 engineering and Network Operations Center teams.
• Support the development and maintenance of network diagrams, IP address plans, VLAN/VRF/VNI mappings, configuration templates, implementation plans, migration runbooks, as‑built documentation, and operational handoff materials.
• Troubleshoot complex network issues involving routing, switching, overlays, underlays, reachability, authentication, segmentation, performance, and high availability.
• Support change control, maintenance windows, configuration reviews, lab validation, and implementation activities in an Integrated Test Facility or production‑like environment.
