Position Summary:As a network engineer on our team, you'll help the Navy build a reliable network to support Naval operations. You'll work with subject matter experts, project managers, and commanding officers to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape the network requirements. You'll then plan the acquisition, installation, configuration, and maintenance of the network components. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you'll put your hardware and software talents to good use. This is your chance to grow your skills in the next generation of network design while continuing to grow your network engineering experience. Join us as we help our Naval forces defend our country.
The Network Engineer will be responsible for planning, design, integration, and installation of complex IP networks. The Network Engineer should be competent in routing, switching, VPNs, and Firewalls and shall provide engineering expertise, to include network design, analysis of alternatives, end-of-life planning, technical documentation, testing, and will be responsible for analyzing, designing, installing, configuring, maintaining, and repairing the network infrastructure and application components.
