7d•$132,962 - $226,035

About The Position

Must have at least 10 years related network design/administration experience with 4 or more years of experience specifically supporting law enforcement digital collection systems. The engineer must be well versed with advanced engineering and administration of multiprotocol routers, multilayer switches, network security devices, and network management systems. Also, must have expert knowledge of the principles, methods, and techniques used in network administration and engineering of ELSUR collection systems. Advanced knowledge ELSUR and legal requirements for collection systems and the ability to apply the knowledge to identify relevant network hardware, software, and other equipment. The engineer is responsible for designing, installing, maintaining, and supporting local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) infrastructure to support ELSUR collection systems. Provides network engineering operational ELSUR support and development for a broad range of network systems and environment, including the full system engineering lifecycle, and requirements analysis (configure, test, evaluation, maintenance, integration, and installation). The engineer shall focus on network and security technologies, ELSUR operational support, and projects that impact cross-functional aspects of the ELSUR collection enterprise. This position shall also require the evaluation, recommendation, and implementation of current and emerging networking security technologies, products, and services that could impact ELSUR digital collection.

Requirements

In-depth knowledge of LAN/WAN communications, network hardware, such as Cisco routers, Ethernet switches, bridges, gateways, firewalls, and encryption devices (i.e., Micro, Flex, and Gig E TACLANEs) supporting ELSUR collection systems.
Requires experience with network tools, such as What’s Up Gold, Cisco’s Tetration and Identity Service Engine (ISE).
The engineer shall also have an in-depth knowledge of routing protocol such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in order to efficiently and effectively transport ELSUR across the system.
Demonstrates a strong understanding and practical experience with technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), Virtual Private Networks (VPN), and traffic engineering and how to apply this understanding to support ELSUR digital collection systems.
Also desirable to have thorough knowledge of the principles, methods, and techniques used in managing help desk, network troubleshooting, and support, as well as active directory enterprise, network management software and tool suites (i.e., MS SharePoint, NetIQ, Nagios, and Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG)).
Knowledge of or certification in one or more specific applications or processes may be required, depending on job assignment.
In addition, requires competence in systems analysis and technical writing to support SOPs.
Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, with 10 or more years of work experience.
Cisco certifications, for example, CCNA, or CCNP are highly preferred.
