Job Description: Telecommunications Network Engineer
Are you a seasoned Telecommunications Network Engineer with over 8 years of experience? We're looking for someone like you to join our dynamic team. You will be the unsung hero ensuring the invisible threads of our telecommunication networks stay seamlessly connected and fully functional. Think of yourself as the conductor of a high-speed train system, where every detail counts to ensure smooth operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Support and Manage WAN Technologies: Imagine the network as a complex highway system. You will manage "highways" like SONET (OC3, OC48, OC192), DS3, and T1, making sure data travels quickly and safely from one destination to another.
- Operate and Maintain Taclanes/KG-175: Consider these as high-security gates that guard information as it moves across the network. You'll be responsible for ensuring these gates are secure and operational.
- Handle MPLS, BGP, VPNs: Think of these elements as the intricate roadmaps and tunnels of the information superhighway. You'll manage these to ensure smooth travel for data packets, avoiding any traffic jams or roadblocks.
- Obtain IAT Level II Baseline Certification: This is like earning a specialized driver's license for network engineers, proving you have the skills to handle and safeguard critical network operations as outlined by DoD 8570.01-M.
- Security Clearance Requirements: Imagine holding the keys to the highest security vaults; you must have a TS/SCI polygraph clearance to ensure you're trusted with the most sensitive information.
Qualifications
- 8+ Years of Experience: Extensive hands-on experience in telecommunications and network engineering.
- WAN Technologies: Proficient in supporting SONET (OC3, OC48, OC192), DS3, and T1.
- Securing Data: Experience with Taclanes/KG-175, ensuring encrypted data transmission.
- Network Protocols: Strong background in MPLS, BGP, and VPNs.
- Certification: IAT Level II baseline certification is required upon start.
- Security Clearance: Must possess a TS/SCI polygraph clearance.
- Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated expertise in TCP/IP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS, SIP, H.323, and QoS.
- Hardware Knowledge: Extensive experience with Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, and other leading network hardware providers
- Software Tools: Proficiency in network analysis and monitoring tools such as Wireshark, SolarWinds, and Nagios.
- Certifications: Relevant industry certifications such as CCNP, CCIE, JNCIP, or equivalent are highly desirable.
Your expertise in this role is crucial for maintaining the robust, secure, and efficient network that our organization relies on. Join us and be the backbone of our telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring that our data "trains" always reach their destinations swiftly and safely.
