* 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.

Basic Qualifications:

* 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.
