• Own networking for the Air Defense family of systems. Work with sensor, effector, autonomy, and Lattice teams to move each detection to the effector that acts on it
• Diagnose network behavior end to end, from host-level packet captures and system troubleshooting to the switch, link, and cable underneath it
• Design, deploy, and maintain the networks that support Air Defense development, integration, and test, including lab networks, integration facilities, and their physical infrastructure
• Design and implement secure, segmented network architectures using ACLs, firewalls, and intrusion detection or prevention
