About The Position

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable the DoD to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need a network engineer like you who knows how to craft the exact network the DoD needs. As a Network Engineer on our team, you’ll help the DoD deploy a reliable network to support national defense. You’ll work with customers to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape network requirements. You’ll then plan the acquisition, installation, configuration, and maintenance of network components.

This is your chance to grow your skills in network optimization and cloud technologies while continuing to grow your network engineering experience. Join us as we help the DoD to expand their enterprise service capabilities.
