  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly present information and ideas to others
  • Have confidence and be able to easily build meaningful relationships with your manager and members of your team
  • Must be able to prioritize your tasks, be self-aware enough to identify and correct mistakes, and not be afraid to ask for help when needed
  • Be active in seeking out ways to improve yourself and gain new knowledge, and be enthusiastic in sharing knowledge with others
Things That Would be Great if You Brought to the Table:
  • Any AWS certification (i.e., AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, AWS Certified Advanced Networking, AWS Certified AI Practitioner, etc.)
  • Knowledge of:
    • Communications systems architecture
    • Circuit- and packet-switched voice/data communications
    • TCP/IP communications
    • VoIP systems, including network management
  • Experience with IPv4 networks, GSM, telecom systems, or real-time systems
  • Experience with software lifecycle processes
  • Experience in software development experience (C, C++, Python)
  • Experience in IP network engineering, development, integration, and testing
We'll also need you to:
  • Be on call to support major network issues
  • Be able to travel up to 10%
  • This position directly performs under, supports, or is exposed to a U.S. government contract. To comply with the requirements of that U.S. government contract, applicants for this position must be U.S. citizens
