The Opportunity:

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable global organizations and users to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their evolving needs? Crafting the next-generation network with the right equipment and sof tware requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need a seasoned network engineer like you who knows how to craft the sof tware-defined network that the Navy needs.

As a Network Engineer on our team, you’ll work with the Program Management Office to provide network architecture design and system operational support to other systems, establish requirements, develop and evaluate technical solutions and architecture designs, and perform solutions analyses. You will analyze the design of an enterprise migration and implementation plan for data center s, remote access connections, cross-domain solutions, network ports, protocols, and services configurations while meeting Naval tactical network requirements.

Additionally, you will provide Tier IV network support while maintaining responsibility for analyzing and developing solutions for networking issues by monitoring all operational communications systems and circuits, direct troubleshooting, and restoring all actions for unscheduled outages. You will analyze network activity and performance to identify potential network issues and inefficiencies and develop and implement automated configuration management sof tware solutions, including automated configuration management, sof tware defined wide area networking, and White Box networking solutions for a reliable network to support global critical missions. You’ll collaborate with SMEs in cybersecurity, engineering, quality assurance, and operations to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape network requirements. You’ll then share your expertise during the planning of acquisition, installation, configuration, and maintenance of network components.

From resolving interoperability issues across Naval platforms to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you’ll put your hardware and sof tware talents to good use. This is your chance to share your experience with enterprise network design and configuration while broadening your network engineering work.
