You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions, to maintain a balance of security and mission needs. You'll apply expertise in systems engineering to requirements analysis and allocation, architecture analysis and design, technology assessment, and metrics development, provide operational support, including tool testing in an operational environment, and coordinating and resolving issues with vendors and other appropriate personnel. You'll develop and apply advanced methods, theories, and research techniques to the investigation and resolution of complex project requirements and technical specifications for software development projects and plan and direct full life cycle projects or major phases of projects for highly visible technical solution programs. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices.
