General Job Summary The Associate Network Engineer is an entry-level role supporting the design, costing, implementation, documentation, and maintenance of networked computer systems that move large volumes of data between compute, storage, and integrated hardware subsystems. Working under the guidance of senior and mid-level engineers, this position will collaborate with internal engineering teams and external customers to ensure that networks meet performance, security, and reliability requirements, align with customer standards, and are properly documented for build, operation, and troubleshooting. Essential Job Functions Assist in the design of network architectures and block diagrams for systems that integrate computers, RF components, mechanical components, and other networked devices. Support the design of data transfer paths between network‑attached storage (NAS) and other high throughput systems, including selection of appropriate buses, protocols, and interfaces. Help select and specify high speed data transfer cards and related hardware (e.g., 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 40 GbE, 100 GbE NICs, switches, and cabling) to meet throughput requirements. Develop and maintain network block diagrams, logical and physical topology diagrams, port maps, and interface documentation using standard diagramming tools. Install, configure, and assist in maintaining rack‑mounted servers, switches, and other hardware. Support design and documentation of integrated network systems that can be placed in rugged or specialized enclosures. Assist in evaluating and documenting power draw and basic thermal considerations for network components to support power planning within racks and integrated systems. Install, configure, and troubleshoot Ethernet‑based and fiber‑based KVM solutions to support local and remote system administration. Support the installation, configuration, and basic troubleshooting of network switches. Work with software engineering teams to ensure the network infrastructure supports required applications, services, and data flows, including bandwidth and latency needs. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering to ensure that network hardware is properly accommodated in physical designs and integration plans. Learn and apply network security requirements derived from applicable government, industry, or customer standards under the guidance of senior staff. Support tracking and coordination of software, firmware, and licenses associated with network hardware, including updates and renewals. Develop and maintain procedures and documentation for building, configuring, operating, and maintaining networks. Assist in implementing secure remote login mechanisms to access networked systems in coordination with cybersecurity and system administration teams. Travel to customer sites, field locations, and deployment sites as required, potentially including OCONUS locations (estimated 25‑50%). Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including the ability to assist in designing networks and systematically troubleshoot issues under guidance. Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create and interpret technical documentation and engage effectively with customers and cross‑functional teams. Effective collaboration and organizational skills, including managing multiple tasks, maintaining accurate documentation, and paying close attention to detail. Demonstrated initiative and commitment to continuous learning in networking, network security, and integrated hardware/software systems. Education and Experience Minimum Qualifications US citizenship required. Must be able to obtain/maintain security clearance at a level equivalent to Department of Defense (DoD) SECRET. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, Network Administration, Telecommunications, or a closely related technical field; or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience. Basic familiarity with high‑speed Ethernet technologies (e.g., 1/10/40/100 GbE) and related hardware such as NICs, switches, transceivers, and cabling. Foundational understanding of IP networking concepts, including TCP/IP, subnets, routing, switching, VLANs, DHCP, and DNS. Basic scripting/programming experience for network automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell, Ansible, etc.) or demonstrated aptitude for technical automation and willingness to develop scripting skills. Preferred Qualifications Internship, co‑op, laboratory, or project experience involving network design, configuration, or administration. Hands‑on experience with switch/router CLI configuration (Cisco IOS, Arista EOS, etc.). Exposure to or coursework in network security concepts and frameworks commonly used in government or regulated environments. Industry certifications such as CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, or equivalent. Familiarity with KVM technologies (Ethernet‑based and fiber‑based) and remote access solutions used for system administration. Experience with NAS or other networked storage solutions, particularly in data‑intensive applications. Exposure or knowledge of air‑gapped network design principles. Basic understanding of power planning for IT/network equipment (e.g., calculating power budgets, understanding PSU ratings and redundancy). Work Environment / Physical Requirements This position involves work in an office and laboratory environment and could require the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) including: Safety glasses Hearing protection (varies based on tasks) Shoe covers Physical Demands In performing the work for this position, the engineer must be able to: Perform work utilizing a computer for extended periods of time. Sit for extended periods of time without being able to leave the work area. Stand for extended periods of time without being able to leave the work area. Climb ladders and stairs in performing the work. Walk for reasonable distances in performing the work. Lift and carry network equipment and components up to 50 lbs. Work in confined spaces including server racks, cable pathways, and equipment enclosures.
