Responsibilities

  • Design, build, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot complex commercial, classified, con-trolled, and mission-specific network environments
  • Develop and maintain secure network architectures that support segmentation, access control, traffic protection, low-signature communications, obfuscation, monitoring, and operational security requirements
  • Plan and execute network upgrades, expansion, lifecycle management, configuration changes, and technical improvements to support evolving mission and enterprise requirements
  • Support network security, compliance, and incident response activities, including firewall policy management, segmentation, logging, IDS/IPS integration, vulnerability remediation, documentation, and audit support
  • Create and maintain network diagrams, technical documentation, configuration baselines, standard operating procedures, implementation guides, records, and reports
  • Coordinate with systems administrators, cybersecurity teams, vendors, cross-functional technical teams, and mission stakeholders to resolve issues and support project delivery
