Computer Network Architect

The Opportunity:

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable an organization to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their current and evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need you, an experienced network engineer who knows how to develop the exact network the Navy needs.

As a network engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience in network design and architecture, system interoperability, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing and forwarding to support the nation’s defense and respond to evolving adversaries. You’ll design and implement computer and information networks such as LANs, WANs, intranets, extranets, and other data communications networks and increase security, reliability, and availability for mission-critical network systems.

You’ll apply your expertise in network design and architecture, system interoperability, IP engineering, network transport layers, multi-protocol label switching, gateway protocol, virtual routing, and forwarding as you join our team of problem-solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, and emerging technology will help you optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in engineering and computer networking architecture principles, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects. Using your technical curiosity and knowledge of industry standards, you’ll make an impact on national security missions.
