Comtech Telecommunications Corp.
Divisional Information Security Officer
Responsible for identifying requirements, determining solutions, and providing the architectural design for the development and deployment of a NG 9-1-1 solution to operate as a Comtech-owned cloud service. This effort includes leading a team of senior engineers in the development of the core operational cloud-based infrastructure, SIP signaling networks, NG9-1-1 location and routing elements and systems management components.
• Utilize DEVOPS automation tools such as Terraform and Ansible to deploy cloud-based services within a nationwide cloud architecture.
• Architect and deploy a central NSOC capable of monitoring and managing multiple customer deployments within a single management infrastructure adhering to the strictest operational and security standards.
• Develop and design a business and technical case for a full cloud based as-a-service NG9-1-1 NGCS model.
• Provide the management team with design, costing and statistical data to assist in pricing analysis and business case development.
• Provide guidance to Management, engineering and operations teams for the adoption of new architectures.
• Develop architectural models for both isolated and multi-tenant customer NG9-1-1 call processing solutions utilizing the latest industry standards.
• Design and develop a data analytics and reporting system utilizing logging data from all call processing and system logging data, allowing for enhanced system and call processing reporting and anomaly detection.
• Develop a segregated testing environment capable of supporting testing of multiple customer NG911 deployments
• Design and deploy a company-wide customer focused Security Operations Center with supporting governance, policies and procedures.
