About The Position

Boeing Phantom Works is seeking an Experienced/Lead Systems Engineer (Comm & Networks) with broad standards-based networking, network management, and IT skills, preferably having worked with Government / Military secure network architectures and appliances. The role involves knowledge of network architecture including router and switch selection, placement, and configuration, algorithm familiarity and employment relative to IP network and WAN internetwork architectures and Ethernet LAN architectures. The candidate will be familiar with the employment of security services and technologies for both enterprise and government applications, including network (HAIPE) and link level encryption (ECE), firewalls, intrusion detection/protection systems, and cross domain solutions. The position requires the ability to work with both internal Boeing network services (BEN, LabNet) for supporting lab activities, as well as supporting network design for specific program opportunities (e.g. JWI, Hybrid SATCOM). Experience with utilizing and setting up cloud-based network services is a plus. Specifics include familiarity with COTS-based network appliances from traditional supplier bases (e.g., Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks), network routing protocols (Unicast Routing, multicast routing, Internet routing Protocols (RIP, OSPF, PIM, BGP), mobility and RF enhanced routing protocols (MANET)), and network appliance software or cloud-based implementation (SDN, SASE, SSE, SD-WAN, FWaaS) as well as open-source implementations (FRR, OpenVSwitch, etc.). This position is expected to be 100% onsite and requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.
