Junior Boundary Systems Engineer

Quick Facts

• Clearance: Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph (FSP)
• Travel: Up to 10% (local)

Description

The role supports the design, implementation, and management of the security and operational boundaries that separate internal networks from external, untrusted networks. You will help develop network architectures and detailed designs, then integrate, configure, deploy, test, troubleshoot, and sustain network devices, interfaces, protocols, and technologies. You will also analyze and optimize end-to-end performance, traffic flows, and dataflow management, while producing engineering documentation and coordinating across teams to minimize downtime.

Responsibilities

• Support large, complex network engineering efforts with evolving requirements and significant scale
• Develop network architectures and detailed designs; integrate, configure, deploy, test, troubleshoot, and sustain network devices and technologies
• Analyze and optimize end-to-end system performance, network capacity, traffic flows, and dataflow management
• Configure and optimize connectivity among front-end, back-end, and distributed system components
• Coordinate across systems engineering, network engineering, software, and dataflow teams to support mission operations and minimize downtime
• Use design analysis, modeling, testing, and network performance-monitoring tools to reduce latency and eliminate bottlenecks
• Produce and maintain requirements, architecture diagrams, interface definitions, test plans, configuration baselines, and operational documentation; communicate decisions and risks to stakeholders

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI clearance with Full Scope Polygraph (FSP); sponsorship not available
• 14 years of systems engineering experience on programs/contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity, including network engineering functions
• Demonstrated experience leading network requirements, architecture, design, integration, testing, deployment, performance optimization, and operational support
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, or related discipline (or 5 additional years of systems engineering experience for a total of 19 years)
• Knowledge of network security principles, configuration management, and technical documentation practices

Benefits

• Culture of integrity and an environment of trust
• Flexible time off and access to robust learning resources
• Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, wellness, financial support, retirement, continuing education, and time off
