The Opportunity: 

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable the agencies to achieve their missions, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their current and evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need you, a network engineer who knows how to develop the exact network the DoD needs. 

As a network security engineer on our team, you’ll use your skills in network design and architecture, system interoperability, with security integration to help support the nation’s defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You’ll upgrade or develop enterprise-wide infrastructure, troubleshoot and resolve complex network issues, analyze current working infrastructures for network security flaws, and increase overall security, reliability, and availability for mission-critical network systems.  You’ll apply your knowledge of integration of security tools and hardware, routing, switching, system interoperability, IP engineering, network transport layers, gateway protocol, virtual routing, network design and architecture, as you join our team of problem-solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. Your knowledge of network and security protocols will come in handy as you help optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in next generation firewalls, and network security tools, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects. Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you’ll make an impact on national security missions. Grow your career with us as we help our customers support their mission.
