  • Define engineering requirements, interfaces, and implementable WAN designs, including L0 circuit configurations and CLLI circuit-route options across CONUS/OCONUS; optionally address routing, addressing, QoS, encryption, and boundary protection. 
  • Develop optimized WAN transport options using OTN and ITUT standards (G.709, G.798, G.872); apply MPLS/IP, Ethernet, VPN/IPsec, SDWAN, and modern secure access patterns (SASE/SSE) where applicable. 
  • Propose WAN work package options to SAIC technical leadership to support engineering trades before implementation; deliverables may include HLD/LLD, logical/physical diagrams, IP plans, L0 routing/QoS policies, security boundary requirements, BOM/part lists, rack elevations (as applicable), configuration templates, and interface cut sheets. 
  • Support the SAIC Chief Engineer with MOPs, implementation plans, cutover schedules, rollback procedures, and test/validation plans; participate in technical reviews and change control; identify/mitigate risks per work package. 
  • Recommend optimized WAN solutions for current/long-range planning; partner with technical leads to select tools/technologies that improve efficiency, reduce cost, and increase customer satisfaction. 
  • Create/maintain engineering and compliance evidence (device configuration baselines, DISA STIG notes/checklists, boundary descriptions, diagrams, status reports) to support audits and RMF/ATO.  
  • Support operational projects and maintenance windows; assist implementation teams during turn-ups, migrations, and service transitions. 
  • Recommend automation/standardization of repeatable engineering tasks (configuration generation, validation checks, documentation workflows) consistent with program approvals. 
  • Troubleshoot complex hardware/software/network issues (as requested); document problems, root causes, and resolutions; feed lessons learned into package templates and standards.
