About The Position

This role involves providing daily oversight and guidance in managing operational matters and mentoring entry-level engineers in all aspects of networking. The consultant will be responsible for the critical review of, and providing recommendations on, networks or network service design, maintenance, and implementation, including operational considerations based on customer requirements, operational experience, and technical knowledge. This includes architectural design, deployment, and documentation of new network requirements and changes to current network configurations. The position also oversees major network architecture upgrades, including white-paper design, deployment, and configuration of devices. Responsibilities include fault analysis, isolation and correction, configuration, and upgrades of network devices such as Cisco Routers, Firewalls, and Switches. Support for customer networks involving cross-domain solutions, including VPNs, one-way data transfers, unclassified mission-related infrastructures, and Taclane 175 encryption devices is also required. Specific configurations include routing using MPLS/VPLS, OSPF, EIGRP at the Core and Distribution devices and switching at the Access devices. Experience in reverse engineering systems to detail required system specifications, external interfaces, and environmental requirements is necessary. The role involves building systems and networks to support the system and integrate it into the customer infrastructure. The consultant will also monitor system performance, implement performance tuning, and use Linux network troubleshooting tools to solve complex network issues. Development of bash and/or python scripts, utilities, and tools for network troubleshooting is expected. The role requires troubleshooting various DNS, SMTP, IP routing, latency, and connectivity issues, implementing TCP/IP & related services (DHCP/DNS), installing/upgrading Cisco Switches and Firewalls (ASA) IOS using TFTP, implementing SSH/RADIUS authentication on Cisco Hardware, and troubleshooting network problems using Protocol Analyzers. Maintaining all LAN/WAN connectivity and documenting network problems and resolutions using Vizio are also key responsibilities. Overseeing software and network security is also part of the role.
