(U) The Telecommunications Network Engineer Skill Level 3 performs engineering services to enable all aspects of network management from network design through implementation, maintenance, sustainment of existing networks, and identification/correction of complex internetwork issues. Implements and sustains Wide Area Networks (WANs), wired and wireless Campus Area Networks (CANs), Data Center Networks/Interfaces (DCN/DCI), Network Security (NETSEC), and Tactical/Deployable Networking Systems. Analyzes design, specifications, and related documents. Implements communication system requirements to support the distributed functionality of a networked enterprise environment. Analyzes network characteristics (e.g., traffic connect time, transmission speeds, packet sizes, and throughput), troubleshoots problems, and recommends modification of network configurations.

(U) The Skill Level 3 Telecommunications Network Engineer shall possess the following capabilities:

Facilitate the implementation of high-speed, scalable, fault-tolerant network topologies as applicable to WAN and LAN design

Minimize network latency and maximize data throughput

Validate new and existing dataflow and data formats

Lead large efforts of dynamic requirements and scale

Work with System engineers, customers, and cross organizational teams to refine requirements

Coordinate with appropriate dataflow organizations and end-customer recipients, follow-on data repositories and tasking organizations, and understand potential adverse impacts on system-wide dataflow

Perform security testing and design evaluations

Employ government standards to configure the interconnects between data centers, networks, and security boundaries

Draft technical requirements, configuration management, and planning documentation

Design, integrate, configure, deploy, test, and maintain numerous types of network devices, interfaces, and technologies to include VPN, VRF, VSS, BGP and OSPF routing or other routing protocols as required, and VLAN

Optimize end-to-end system performance (e.g., capacity, margins, data quality, etc.) and dataflow management

Configure and optimize the network to connect various front-end and back-end components

(U) Qualifications: Twelve (12) years of experience in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity are required. Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited college or university is required. Four (4) years of additional network engineering experience may be substituted for a Bachelor's degree. Certifications: An IAT l Level II baseline certification as defined by DoD 8570.01-M is required. IAT III within 12 months. CCIE, or equivalent, certification or higher required.
