Position Summary: The Senior Network Engineer serves as the technical lead for the design, implementation, optimization, and sustainment of AWAKEN’s enterprise network infrastructure. This role leads the engineering of terrestrial connectivity (inside plant), wired and wireless topology, RF design, and network capacity planning to ensure reliable, secure, and mission‑ready connectivity across AETC’s 25+ installations. The position combines deep hands‑on engineering (≈70%) with architecture, documentation, and coordination responsibilities (≈30%), supporting enterprise modernization, Wi‑Fi expansion, cloud‑integrated designs, and Zero‑Trust–aligned network segmentation.
Key Responsibilities Terrestrial Connectivity, Inside Plant & Transport Engineering
Lead the design and implementation of terrestrial network connectivity, including fiber/copper plant, cabling paths, distribution frameworks, and campus‑level infrastructure.
Produce engineering artifacts such as topology diagrams, rack elevations, hardware lists, cable routes, and port/protocol mappings.
Validate facility power availability, grounding requirements, and site readiness in coordination with base facilities and communications personnel.
Support diversity routing, redundant paths, and high‑availability transport designs.
Wi‑Fi, RF & Capacity Engineering
Conduct RF spectrum analysis, coverage modeling, and AP placement planning for indoor and outdoor AWAKEN environments.
Engineer wireless networks to meet 1Gbps baseline service, scaling options (10/40/100Gbps), and AETC performance KPIs (latency, jitter, packet delivery, uptime).
Ensure consistent RF performance in challenging facilities.
Provide design solutions for roaming, authentication integration, and coverage extensions to flight lines, outdoor classrooms, and training ranges.
Network Architecture & Modernization
Support transition to cloud‑integrated and software‑defined architectures, aligned with Zero‑Trust initiatives and enterprise modernization.
Engineer Layer 2/Layer 3 architectures, including VLAN segmentation, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), traffic prioritization, and QoS/CoS for latency‑sensitive workloads.
Evaluate emerging network technologies and recommend upgrades to improve resiliency, performance, and user experience.
Security Engineering & Compliance Support
Apply secure network configurations and assist in implementing STIG‑aligned configurations on routers, switches, controllers, and wireless infrastructure.
Support ACAS/Nessus remediation by validating network‑related findings, implementing patches, and documenting corrective actions.
Ensure compliance with NIST, DoD, and USAF networking security requirements in collaboration with the ISSM and Cloud Security teams.
Assist in developing network segments supporting Zero‑Trust principles (micro‑segmentation, least‑privilege routing, secure access).
Kubernetes, Cloud & Virtualization Interoperability (Network‑relevant responsibilities only)
Ensure network architectures integrate cleanly with cloud platforms, virtualized environments, and containerized workloads (routing, load‑balancing, service‑mesh communication).
Support secure connectivity between on‑premise network infrastructure and hybrid cloud environments.
Automation & Tools Integration
Develop automation/scripts (e.g., Bash, Python) to support network configuration, device validation, and performance monitoring.
Use Infrastructure‑as‑Code tooling (Terraform, Ansible) where applicable to support repeatable deployments and configuration baselines.
Integrate network telemetry into enterprise monitoring and logging platforms.
Testing, Transition & Operations Support
Conduct pre‑deployment engineering validation in test‑lab environments.
Support site surveys (virtual and in‑person), including floor plans, physical measurements, ingress/egress mapping, and environmental factors.
Provide Tier‑3 engineering support for complex troubleshooting across wired/wireless, RF, cloud‑connected, and security‑sensitive systems.
Participate in transition from incumbent contractor, validating baselines, capturing configurations, and ensuring operational continuity.
Collaboration, Documentation & Customer Engagement
Partner closely with program managers, senior solutions architect, senior cloud architect, ISSM, customer service engineer, and government technical leads.
Produce accurate engineering documentation for CCBs, PMRs, installation packages, and change requests.
Communicate clearly with government stakeholders across varying technical backgrounds.

Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Network Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
8–10+ years of hands‑on experience in enterprise network engineering, including LAN/WAN design, Wi‑Fi engineering, routing/switching, and RF spectrum analysis.
Demonstrated expertise in:
Terrestrial connectivity (fiber/copper), inside‑plant engineering
Enterprise Wi‑Fi design (Aruba preferred), RF modeling, AP placement
Routing (BGP, OSPF), switching, VLAN segmentation, QoS/CoS
Firewalling, VPN, micro‑segmentation, secure network baselines
