  • Network Configuration & Validation: Configure, integrate, and verify network devices including routers, switches, firewalls, and VoIP systems in accordance with established technical baselines and architectural guidance
  • Troubleshooting & Operational Support: Perform Tier 1/2 diagnostics and fault isolation across tactical network systems; resolve issues or coordinate escalation for complex engineering challenges
  • Technical Documentation: Maintain accurate configuration records, test results, and issue logs; provide reporting to support ongoing engineering and architecture development efforts
  • Field & Site Support: Deliver hands-on support at Army installations and operational environments, including setup, sustainment, and troubleshooting of tactical network equipment
  • System Integration Support: Collaborate with systems engineering teams to resolve integration challenges and support implementation of evolving requirements across tactical and enterprise environments
  • Architecture Alignment: Apply understanding of network design principles, including routing protocols and multi-path transport (SATCOM, cellular, terrestrial), to support effective troubleshooting and system optimization
Required Qualifications & Skills
  • Education / Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field OR minimum 4+ years of relevant experience supporting tactical communications systems
  • Technical Knowledge: Experience with Army tactical network systems (e.g., WIN-T or similar environments)
  • Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with Cisco technologies (routers, switches, firewalls, voice systems)
  • Technical Knowledge: Understanding of RF communications, including SATCOM and terrestrial transport
  • Technical Knowledge: Knowledge of core networking concepts (OSI model, IP routing, switching fundamentals)
  • Technical Knowledge: Exposure to systems engineering processes and lifecycle concepts
Desired Qualifications & Skills
  • Familiarity with advanced routing and transport concepts (e.g., BGP, OSPF, multi-path routing)
  • Understanding of hybrid transport environments (LEO/GEO SATCOM, 5G, terrestrial radio, fiber)
  • Experience with enterprise services such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, and collaboration platforms
  • Prior military or contractor experience supporting tactical communications systems
  • Basic understanding of DoD acquisition lifecycle and systems engineering disciplines (SPRDE)
