This Network Engineering lead will serve as a core technical contributor driving the design, integration, and fielding of resilient edge networking across dismounted squads, vehicles, and command platforms.

- Work directly with stakeholders and owners in the Army to understand their requirements, constraints, risks, unknowns, and build the requisite relationships with technical and programmatic staff to drive success.
- Drive relationships with partners and vendors that we are bringing to the network solution.
- Work with the gov’t and participate in exercises testing and evaluating the deployed network, designing improvements, and iterating towards successful outcomes.
- Continuously iterate the network design and configuration based on performance metrics, user feedback and emerging mission demands.
- Strong hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting L2-L4 networking in DDIL environments.
- Experience with MANET radios and mesh architectures, including their configuration and behavior under movement and terrain.
- Ability to engage directly with customers at a technical and business level to drive successful outcomes
- Understanding of multi-enclave security networks used by US DOD (e.g., SIPR, JWICS)
- Experience in using Wireshark, iperf, tcpdump, and similar tools to diagnose live tactical network traffic and radio behavior.
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance
- Direct experience with Army tactical networks (or similar from other US military services)
- Knowledge of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
- Understanding of networking over different modalities, e.g., P2P LOS, cellular systems, SATCOM
- Ability to script or automate network provisioning (e.g., Ansible, Bash, Python) to streamline fielding workflows.
