Senior Boundary Network Systems Engineer

CACI•Linthicum Heights, MD

1d•$114,600 - $252,100

About The Position

The Senior Boundary Network Systems Engineer leads the design, implementation, and management of security and operational boundaries that separate internal networks from external, untrusted networks. The role combines network engineering and systems engineering to ensure network perimeters are defined, controlled, and protected. The engineer leads complex network engineering efforts across the engineering lifecycle, from requirements development and architecture through integration, deployment, testing, performance optimization, and operational support. The role also coordinates with systems engineering, network engineering, software, and dataflow teams to support mission operations and minimize downtime, while producing technical and operational documentation and communicating decisions and risks to stakeholders.

Requirements

Active TS/SCI clearance with Full Scope Polygraph (FSP); sponsorship is not available.
Twenty years of Systems Engineer experience on programs or contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity, including network engineering functions.
Demonstrated experience leading network requirements development, architecture, design, integration, testing, deployment, performance optimization, and operational support.
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, or a related discipline from an accredited college or university; five years of additional Systems Engineering experience may substitute for the degree, for a total of twenty-five years of experience.
Expert knowledge of network security principles, configuration management, and technical documentation practices.
Experience with requirements analysis, interface definition, network capacity planning, redundancy, resiliency, and fault-tolerant design.
Experience using network monitoring, packet analysis, traffic analysis, and performance-management tools.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with LAN and WAN architecture, IP routing, switching, and network troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

Lead large, complex network engineering efforts with evolving requirements and significant scale; develop and manage system and network requirements throughout the engineering lifecycle.
Develop network architectures and detailed designs; integrate, configure, deploy, test, troubleshoot, and sustain network devices, interfaces, protocols, and technologies.
Analyze and optimize end-to-end system performance, network capacity, traffic flows, and dataflow management.
Configure and optimize network connectivity among front-end, back-end, and distributed system components.
Coordinate across systems engineering, network engineering, software, and dataflow teams to support mission operations and minimize downtime.
Lead implementation of secure, high-speed, scalable, resilient, and fault-tolerant LAN and WAN architectures.
Use design analysis, modeling, testing, and network performance-monitoring tools to reduce latency, eliminate bottlenecks, and maximize throughput and availability.
Produce and maintain requirements, architecture diagrams, interface definitions, test plans, configuration baselines, and operational documentation; communicate technical decisions and risks to stakeholders.
