About The Position

The Network Engineer provides assistance in all aspects of network management from network design through implementation, maintenance, and upgrading existing networks. The candidate will analyze designs, specifications, and related documents Implement communications system requirements to support the distributed functionality of a software engineering environment Analyze network characteristics, troubleshoot problems and recommend procurement of and/or modifications to network components More about the position : Designs solutions, integrates, configures, deploys, tests and provides support for numerous types of network devices, interfaces and methodologies. Optimizes end-to-end system performance and dataflow management. Configures/optimizes network to connect to various front- and back-end components. Coordinates with system engineering and dataflow efforts to ensure proper mission operations with minimum down time. Facilitates implementation of high-speed, scalable, fault-tolerant network topologies as applicable to WAN/LAN design. Implements specific network solutions to support server requirements to include load-balancing, VPNs, firewall contexts, and network address translation (NAT) where appropriate. Minimizes network latency and maximizes data throughput through design analysis and network performance monitoring tools. Manages assigned tasks and provides guidance to junior Network Engineers. Validates new/existing dataflow and data formats. Coordinates with appropriate dataflow organizations and end-customer recipients, follow-on data repositories and tasking organizations and understands potential adverse impacts on system-wide dataflow. Designs, integrates, tests and deploys RF communications solutions. Leads large efforts of dynamic requirements and scale. Works with Systems Engineers and cross-organizational teams to define requirements. Resolves complex network problems, operate network analyzers, WAN test equipment and network simulators. Designs, implements, and evaluates security systems Contributes to security planning, assessment, risk analysis, and risk management Supports the Government in providing technical leadership to engineering teams Recommends corporate solutions to resolve security requirements Supports the Government in enforcement of design / implementation of trusted relationships among external systems and architectures
