Network Development Engineering Manager (Classified Cloud & Device Test Infrastructure)

Quick Facts

• Role: Network Development Engineering Manager

• Focus: Classified cloud development environment, hybrid device test infrastructure, and device management tooling for high-assurance government security devices on AWS

• Security: TS/SCI with polygraph clearance required (US Citizenship; clearance sponsorship provided)

Description

Lead a hands-on engineering leader role responsible for strategy and execution across a classified cloud development environment, hybrid lab/cloud device test infrastructure, and device management software for government-facing security devices on AWS. You will define the team’s vision, set goals tied to customer needs, and build infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and automation so teams can reliably develop, test, integrate, and ship certified production hardware. Success is measured by speed and reliability of end-to-end build, test, and delivery across hardware, FPGA, firmware, and software.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate a classified cloud development environment for cleared engineers, from authorization (IATT/ATO) through operational development.
• Establish infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and automation to make the environment reproducible, auditable, and fast.
• Own availability, access control, and configuration management for the classified development environment.
• Design, build, and operate high-speed device test infrastructure spanning physical lab benches and cloud-based tooling.
• Build hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test benches and automated test frameworks.
• Provide automated verification coverage and continuous testing for hardware, FPGA, and firmware.
• Own lab infrastructure, test instrumentation, and cloud tooling that aggregates, analyzes, and reports test results.
• Design and build device management software and engineering tools to provision, configure, monitor, and operate devices.
• Own the lifecycle of device management and engineering tooling through production deployment.
• Build internal automation and tooling to accelerate cross-discipline teams.
• Partner with firmware and systems teams on device interfaces, telemetry, and operational workflows.
• Lead model-based systems engineering tooling development.
• Manage and grow a multidisciplinary team; hire, develop, mentor senior contributors, and establish engineering best practices and delivery/reliability/security standards.
• Collaborate across hardware, FPGA, firmware, software, systems engineering, security/compliance, and program management to align milestones and navigate ATO/certification evidence.
• Represent the team’s roadmap and technical direction to senior leadership.

Requirements

• US Citizenship; ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI with polygraph clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.
• 7+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures.
• 3+ years of managing network, systems, or software development teams.
• Experience with Cloud Architecture, Network Engineering, Systems Design, Software Development, Infrastructure Architecture, Data Engineering, or DevOps.
• Experience designing and building test infrastructure and automation (including hardware-in-the-loop).
• Experience delivering tools used by other engineering teams (device management, tooling, or platforms).

Benefits

• Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription) and life insurance options.
• EAP and mental health support; medical advice line.
• Flexible Spending Accounts; adoption and surrogacy reimbursement.
• 401(k) matching.
• Paid time off and parental leave.
• Base salary range (varies by location): 175,100–236,900 USD annually, plus sign-on payments and RSUs.
