Job Summary:

RTX Corporation Raytheon is looking for an experienced senior network engineer with an active Top-Secret clearance who is SCI-eligible to work as part of a collaborative team to support classified networks on our Aurora campus in Colorado (Relocation support is available if you meet company criteria). The ideal candidate should have significant experience integrating, hardening, and maintaining SIPR networks. The candidate should be skilled in LAN/WAN routing, switching, and firewall administration in a classified operating environment.

What You Will Do:

Our SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network) areas require a dedicated network engineer to deploy, maintain and support its accreditation. SIPR connectivity is vital and a requirement for the programs they support. The networking effort for this is a demanding task that requires a full-time network engineer to conduct regular scans, patches, and testing and adhere to the constant new requirements imposed by the government agencies with whom we work (DISA). The latest is the new C2C (Comply to Connect) requirement (NSA Zero Trust Connection Requirement). It is a security framework that requires the implementation of Cisco ISE, IDS/IPS, next-generation firewalls, and other new networking tools.

Duties will include, but are not limited to the following:

• SIPR networking deployment experience
• Configure, Manage, and Upgrade existing Cisco Network hardware and software, such as Cisco switches, routers, ASAs, and type 1 Encryption devices.
• Ensure Information Assurance compliance for network hardware and software and mitigating identified IA vulnerabilities. Remediate IAVAM and DISA STIGS
• Drive and/or participate in large projects in support of installation and/or improvement to voice, video, and network infrastructure.
• Ensure compliance with security and performance requirements (NISPOM, RMF, NIST, etc.)
• Assure a high level of reliability and performance through systems monitoring and infrastructure management.
• Familiar with ASA and FPR firewalls, must have experience with ASDM.
• Possess knowledge and experience with network technologies, services, operations, and associated security practices.

The ideal candidate must be a US citizen holding at a minimum a Top-Secret clearance.  The candidate needs to be organized, able to work well with others, able to work under time constrains, able to multi-task and prioritize work, be able to work independently as well as a member of a team and have good problem-solving skills. The candidate’s work will be performed under minimal general direction.  The candidate will frequently interact with inter-organizational contacts representing the Digital Technology Program Execution organization in the support of our engineering end-user community.

What You Will Learn:

• Deploying and sustaining a SIPRNet for classified environments as part of a small team in our Aurora CO Site
• Working with Air and Space Systems Program Managers and Customers

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Role typically requires bachelor’s degree and 8 years' experience, an advanced degree, and 6 years’ experience or 12 years of direct experience in lieu of degree.
• An active and transferable U.S. government issued TOP SECRET security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
• Experienced in LAN, WAN, Routers, Switches, and other network hardware.

Qualifications We Strongly Prefer:

• Must have a strong background in LAN, WAN, Routers, Switches, Firewalls, and other network hardware.
