Primary Responsibilities:

Responsible for performing and training team on the following duties:

• Perform customer coordination Initial Test and Acceptance (IT&A) execution of all reporting functions and complete data input associated with new service activations to ensure they are implemented in accordance with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) standards.
  
• Work directly with customers solution architects and vendor SMEs to implement changes and also identify analyze and resolve issues.
  
• Manage Service Orders in accordance with Change Management procedures
  
• Ensure Telecommunication Service Orders (TSOs) are in place and accurate for scheduled network additions and changes
  
• Initiate network device configurations using configlets
  
• Analyze DISN and databases to validate and implement customer requirements
  
• Design and implementation of solutions to highly technical problems through testing documentation and modification of configurations on network devices
  
• Coordinate and program customer circuit activation with commercial vendors to establish the engineered solution for end-to-end connectivity
  
• Perform network monitoring to assess if deployed changes have caused impacts to customer traffic using provided expectations of traffic behavior lessons learned and customer reporting
  
• Utilize systems analysis techniques and procedures including consulting with users to determine hardware software or system functional requirements in support of customer resources.
  
• Engage with the DISA project managers and/or customers to resolve issues with incomplete or unclear requirements.
  
• Reach out to stakeholders and facilitate approvals as necessary to ensure continual forward progress of the service request.

Required Education and Experience:

• Requires BS and 4-8 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 2-6 years of prior relevant experience
  

• Proficient knowledge of various network hardware equipment specifications configuration and testing processes and industry specifications.
  
• Knowledge of configuring activating testing and analyzing network systems.
  
• Network engineering problem management and performance management experience.
  
• Understanding of basic telecommunications and information technology terms and technology.
  
• Knowledge of data and voice network design carried over various transmissions systems router to router connections using military and commercial protocols such as BGP and ISIS switch-to-switch trunking to include VLANS and circuit configurations through multiplexers.
  
• Experience with network services (BGP OSPF DHCP DNS TCP/IP WAN VPN VLAN VRF etc.) and network appliances (e.g. routers load balancers domain name servers firewalls).
  
• Ability to work in a team environment but self-driven to complete assignments while continually developing proficiencies in processes.
  
• Strong written and verbal communications team building and collaboration skills.
  
• An active Secret security clearance is required.

• Basic understanding of DISA organizational structure and how different elements (DITCO etc.) contribute to fulfilling mission partner TSR requirements.
  
• Network certifications: Cisco Certifications (CCNA CCNP etc.) Microsoft certifications (MCSE etc.) security certifications (Security CE CISSP etc.)- ITIL certification.
  
• Engineer and models connections across the DISN network by calculating bandwidth constraints.
  
• Performs simulations to determine the optimal interaction and paths between the different network entities (routers switches nodes access points links etc.).
  
• Conduct network performance optimization using DISN provided tools to assist in the planning and design of multi-technology multi-vendor networks provide baseline analysis cost-effective network change planning and survivability testing.
  
• Initiates network grooming provides impact assessments and provides alternative routing support during operational / real-world events. This is accomplished by ensuring the integrity of the analytical framework and modeling tools for end-to-end DODIN performance modeling and assessment.
  
• Dynamically collect and assess key DISA performance parameters interacting with model-based simulations recommends optimal configurations to achieve prioritized DoD mission capability and effects.
