About The Position

As a Network Engineer, you will help maintain and operate a network of simulators and modeling capabilities that provide exercise capabilities for various units. The simulators are located throughout the country, and the engineering team manages the network, maintains an Authority to Operate (ATO), improves system design and architecture, provides tier 1–3 troubleshooting during operations, installs hardware, manages lifecycle and software releases and deployments, and develops new features and innovations. You will design, configure, and sustain wide area and local networks connecting geographically separated simulation sites into a single live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training environment. You will manage routers, switches, firewalls, and encryption devices across classified and unclassified enclaves, ensuring simulation traffic has the low latency and reliability required for large-scale exercises. You will troubleshoot operational network issues and implement and maintain STIG and RMF security controls. Working with systems, software, cyber, and technical support engineers, you will integrate new sites, simulations, and capabilities into the network. The role requires onsite support during operations and travel to outstation sites as needed. The program offers growth opportunities and opportunities to innovate on simulation systems.
