Job description

Job Details for your reference:
Job Title: Journeyman Network Engineer Position Type: 3 months (contract-to-hire)
Shift Schedule: 1st shift
Salary: $79000 – $165000/yr. Job Description: As the SME, Network Engineering, you will shape the tactical and enterprise networking underpinnings of Major Release 2 (FY 25‐27)—orchestrating SATCOM, SDR, cross‐domain solutions, and software‐defined networking that connect airborne platforms to the Digital Infrastructure (DI) and the broader DAF BATTLE NETWORK. Essential Job Functions:
• Architect & Design: Lead creation of the PG network reference architecture spanning Nomad hardware, Smith software builds, and Watch node‐management elements. Define routing schemas (BGP/OSPF/IS‐IS), QoS policies, IPSec/crypto overlays, and multi‐level security / cross‐domain data‐flow rulesets that comply with NSA and DISA STIG requirements. Produce SysML/CAMEO artifacts feeding the government‐owned digital thread.
• Integration & Lab Leadership: Specify and configure routers, switches, firewalls, SATCOM modems, and SDRs inside the Integration SIL; drive interface‐control documentation (ICDs) for airborne PIMs. Develop automated test harnesses (IXIA/TestCenter, Spirent, Ansible) to validate throughput, latency, packet‐loss, and IA posture before DT/OT.
• DevSecOps & Cyber Hygiene: Embed network‐security controls into the PG DevSecOps pipeline; champion zero‐trust principles and continuous ATO artifacts (RMF eMASS packages, ACAS/SCAP scans). Guide implementation of Software Defined Networking (SD‐WAN, OpenFlow, or comparable) for dynamic airborne/ground path selection.
• Fielding & Operations: Partner with platform SPOs and flight‐test organizations to translate lab configs into flight‐worthy builds; draft Interim Authorizations To Test (IATT) and airworthiness network annexes. Support Watch help‐desk playbooks, operational runbooks, and remote monitoring dashboards (Elastic, Grafana, Prometheus).
• Leadership & Mentoring: Serve as the chief technical adviser to Government IPT leads; brief network readiness, risk, and performance metrics at program reviews. Mentor mid‐level engineers and ensure knowledge transfer to Government personnel. Must-Have Skills:
• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Deep expertise in routing/switching (Layer 2/3), SATCOM backhaul, RF/mesh networking, and transport enclaves in contested or bandwidth‐limited environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred) and 8 years of experience designing, integrating, and securing DoD or IC mission‐critical IP networks.
• Demonstrated experience with cross‐domain solutions, NSA Type‐1 crypto, and multi‐level security architectures.
• Hands-on with network test/validation tools and scripting/automation (Python, Ansible, Terraform) Preferred or Nice-to-have Skills
• CCNP/CCIE, JNCIE, or equivalent expert-level certification
• Prior work on CJADC2, ABMS, OMS/UCI, tactical data links (Link-16/22, TTNT), or airborne networking programs
• Familiarity with containerized networking (CNI plugins, Service Mesh) and classified DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One, Iron Bank)
• Experience with Agile/Scrum or SAFe certification
• Experience shepherding RMF packages through eMASS to full ATO Years of Experience: 8 years Industry Experience: DoD or IC mission-critical IP networks, with a focus on airborne networking and SATCOM. Education Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred)
