Key Responsibilities
  • Design and lead test and evaluation efforts to ensure the function and performance of network components and systems.
  • Lead the preparation, execution, and post-event analysis efforts.
  • Detail work in technical reports and memoranda and present outcomes to sponsors and the technical community.
  • Interact with technical specialists in other fields as part of a multidisciplinary team.
  • Provide mentorship to support early career staff growth and development.
Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you:

  • Possess a Bachelor's degree in information technology or science, computer science, electrical or computer engineering, or another related technical field.
  • Have at least ten years of relevant experience working with DoD network systems.
  • Are proficient in all aspects of testing including test plan development, network instrumentation selection, test execution, analysis, and reporting.
  • Are familiar with foundational computer networking technology such as routers, switches, and security appliances.
  • Are able to describe operation of key inter-networking and network security protocols at Layers 2, 3, and 4.
  • Are willing and able to travel periodically, up to 25%.
  • Are able to obtain an Interim Top Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you:

  • Possess a Master's degree or PhD in information technology or science, computer science, electrical or computer engineering, or another related technical field.
  • Have experience with wired and wireless technologies and standards at Layer 1.
  • Have experience with protocols at Layer 5+ and are able to understand how lower layers affect their performance.
  • Have hands-on experience designing and directing complex test events which require coordinated action at multiple locations.
  • Hold an active Top Secret security clearance.
