About The Position

OBXtek is currently staffing for a Senior IT Systems/Network Engineer, supporting the Army’s Global Enterprise Network Modernization – OCONUS (GENM-O) organization. The role involves providing technical reviews of engineering design and implementation plans for network infrastructure modernization projects, overseeing LAN/MAN/WAN survey, design, and implementation, and providing technical leadership in the integration and testing of complex large-scale integrated networks. The engineer will also assist in developing new emerging technical network architecture, standards, and specifications, and analyze and assess LAN/MAN/WAN network hardware, providing technical recommendations. Evaluation of current or emerging network technologies, considering factors like cost, maturity, compatibility, and usability, is also a key responsibility. The position requires providing technical direction for IT projects such as high-availability and virtualization, leading collaborative efforts with developers, designers, product owners, and partner organizations to develop prototype solutions, and collaborating with various agencies as a solutions consultant for cloud solutions. This includes evaluating environments for migration, working in sandboxes, and architecting solutions tailored to Army needs, coordinating solution design with existing project teams, and providing technical guidance to implementation teams. The role also involves coordinating technical execution of transformation projects, deconflicting designs, developing and implementing enterprise data management solutions, and directing customer engagements to determine requirements and provide technical updates. Some travel (OCONUS and CONUS) is expected, and the work schedule is 100% in-office at Fort Belvoir, VA.
