You'll apply your expertise in routing and switching, network design and architecture, system interoperability, IP engineering, network transport layers, multi‑protocol label switching, gateway protocol, and virtual routing and forwarding as you guide our team of problem‑solvers to help the DoD evolve and deploy new capabilities and technologies. Your knowledge of enterprise‑level network protocols, equipment, emerging technology, and configurations will come in handy as you optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in software and hardware firewalls, Cisco hardware, Palo Alto firewalls, Juniper hardware, and optical infrastructure networking, 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.
