This position requires someone who can operate across technical domains, coordinate with cross‑functional engineering teams, and contribute to the development of scalable, secure networked systems.

Responsibilities Architect, design, and deploy network solutions across multi‑enclave environments

Lead or support network integration efforts including SD‑WAN deployment, hardware selection, and ground system connectivity

Develop and refine technical requirements, interface definitions, and system documentation

Perform systems engineering activities including requirements analysis, Cameo systems modeling, and DOORS requirements management

Support system design reviews, technical interchange meetings, and cross‑IPT coordination

Analyze network performance, identify constraints, and recommend improvements or new architecture approaches

Contribute to security planning and risk management strategies for networked systems

Provide light leadership for small technical teams, help establish SLAs, and coordinate technical activities across engineering groups

Support deployment planning, configuration management, and integration of IT and cloud‑based systems

Prepare and deliver technical briefings, system artifacts, and engineering products
