ABOUT THE JOB

This Network Engineering lead will serve as a core technical contributor driving the design, integration, and fielding of resilient edge networking across dismounted squads, vehicles, and command platforms. This role will require hand-on configuration, testing, and fielding.  A critical part of the modernization will be designing and sustaining the tactical network architecture that supports the Menace FoS, HUDs, and GFE edge compute devices. This effort will be the basis for the future modernization of other groups in the Army. Success will require a deep understanding of tactical constraints, strong systems integration skills, and the ability to work side-by-side with software, hardware, and mission teams to define the network architecture and technology stack that will support the needs of the customer’s mission.

• Work directly with stakeholders and owners in the Army to understand their requirements, constraints, risks, unknowns, and build the requisite relationships with technical and programmatic staff to drive success.
• Drive relationships with partners and vendors that we are bringing to the network solution.
• Work with the gov’t and participate in exercises testing and evaluating the deployed network, designing improvements, and iterating towards successful outcomes.
• Continuously iterate the network design and configuration based on performance metrics, user feedback and emerging mission demands.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting L2-L4 networking in DDIL environments.
• Experience with MANET radios and mesh architectures, including their configuration and behavior under movement and terrain.
• Ability to engage directly with customers at a technical and business level to drive successful outcomes
• Understanding of multi-enclave security networks used by US DOD (e.g., SIPR, JWICS)
• Experience in using Wireshark, iperf, tcpdump, and similar tools to diagnose live tactical network traffic and radio behavior.
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Direct experience with Army tactical networks (or similar from other US military services)
• Knowledge of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
• Understanding of networking over different modalities, e.g., P2P LOS, cellular systems, SATCOM
• Ability to script or automate network provisioning (e.g., Ansible, Bash, Python) to streamline fielding workflows.
