About The Position

The Network Engineer (Associate) collects and implements network information requirements through analysis in the development of enterprise-wide or large-scale networking infrastructure, including CAN, MAN, and WAN. The role implements network architecture, including the software, hardware, and communications needed to support total requirements and present and future cross-functional requirements and interfaces. The engineer ensures network systems are compatible with and comply with standards for open systems architectures, the OSI and ISO reference models, and applicable standards profiles, including the IEEE OSE reference model. This includes applying standards to implementation and specification of network-layer IM solutions across the API and external environment or software application, and ensuring the network and transport layers of the common operating environment are compliant. The role evaluates problems in network usage, organization, and planning and develops corrective actions. It works with internal teams, customers, and vendors to define, analyze, and deliver solutions for voice, data, and image communications requirements. The engineer uses design tools to assess projected network usage and produce media, technical, and cost solutions for multiple networks; selects and configures hardware and software for multisite networks; and plans, designs, and implements network management systems to monitor, diagnose, control, and measure communications-network performance across multiple sites. The engineer also uses and recommends changes to network administration systems to maintain accurate inventory and ensure timely implementation.
