Network Engineer

We are sourcing for an immediate need for a Network Engineer to support our mission critical work for our government customers. The Network Engineer will perform moderately complex network designs using existing technology with limited guidance. They will also be responsible for planning network configurations for integration into the network, using knowledge of the performance characteristics of the systems being added to the network and the specifications for network interfaces to ensure effective integration and optimal network performance. They will be involved in preparing technical proposals for presentation to the engineering review boards to add new technologies to the network.

Responsibilities:

• The Network Engineer shall perform moderately complex network designs using existing technology with limited guidance.
• The Network Engineer shall plan network configurations for integration into the network, using knowledge of the performance characteristics of the systems being added to the network and the specifications for network interfaces to ensure effective integration and optimal network performance.
• The Network Engineer shall prepare technical proposals for presentation to the engineering review boards to add new technologies to the network.
• The Network Engineer shall perform moderately complex Operations and Maintenance (O&M) activities with limited guidance.
• The Network Engineer shall utilize network analysis tools to identify performance problems in the network.
• The Network Engineer shall diagnose network issues.
• The Network Engineer shall follow troubleshooting procedures for restoring the network to optimal performance levels.
• The Network Engineer shall assist senior technical staff in preparing troubleshooting procedures for restoring the network to optimal performance levels.
• The Network Engineer shall repair network issues as needed.
• The Network Engineer shall perform routine to moderately complex network upgrades with limited guidance.
• The Network Engineer shall review user requests for upgrades or additions to the network to assess the impact on network performance.
• The Network Engineer shall provide advice and guidance on the most practical technical approach to meeting user requirements.
• The Network Engineer shall plan upgrades to existing network configurations, using knowledge of the performance characteristics of the systems being upgraded and the specifications for network interfaces to ensure effective integration and optimal network performance.
• The Network Engineer shall prepare technical proposals for presentation to the engineering review boards for upgrading existing technologies.
