Network Engineer 3 - (LAN, WAN, Network Performance)

Akina•Fort Meade, MD

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Performs network services from network design through implementation, maintenance, and upgrading of existing networks. Analyzes design, specifications, and related documents. Performs general LAN/CAN/WAN administration. Schedules conversions and cutovers. Provides input to the design of the organization's network and mission architecture. Performs configuration, testing, deployment, and maintenance for all network equipment. Configures and optimizes the network to connect various front-end and back-end components. Minimizes network latency and maximizes data throughput through design analysis and network performance monitoring tools. Develops algorithms used in modules or incorporated into models associated with the research and development of technologies and systems. Configures and maintains the organization's network diagrams and accreditations. Integrates hardware and software to satisfy ISO 9000 requirements and other DoD/IC regulations. Designs, integrates, tests, and deploys solutions to established network issues. Optimizes end-to-end system performance and dataflow management. Coordinates with appropriate dataflow organizations and end-customer recipients, follow-on data repositories and tasking organizations and mitigates potential adverse impacts on system-wide dataflow. Implements specific network solutions to support server requirements. Designs solutions, integrates, configures, deploys, tests, and provides ongoing maintenance for numerous types of network devices, interfaces, and methodologies. Gathers needed data to specify system/component performance and interface requirements. Manages, develops work schedules, and directs the work of junior-level engineers. Reports any known or suspected COMSEC incidents immediately. Ensures that all material received is inspected for evidence of tampering and, if any is found, submits a report of suspected physical incident immediately. Coordinates with the system engineering and dataflow efforts to ensure proper mission operations to minimize downtime.
