A well‑designed secure network is critical to move data and enable the Department of Defense (DoD) to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their evolving needs? Crafting the right network with the right equipment and software requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need you, a Network Engineer who knows how to utilize your craft to facilitate the needs of the DoD.

As a security engineer on our team, you’ll work with the DoD to develop a reliable, secure network to support critical missions.

You’ll collaborate with SMEs, customers, vendors, and users to learn the strategic goals and operational needs that shape the network requirements. You’ll then share your expertise during the planning, acquisition, installation, configuration, and maintenance of the network components. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you’ll put your hardware and software talents to good use. This is your chance to share your experience with backbone networks, cloud technologies, and core networking while broadening your security and network engineering work.

You’ll dive into challenging hands‑on problem‑solving, and encounter opportunities to learn new tools and skills. We focus on growing as a team to make the best solutions for our customers.

As a Network Engineer at Booz Allen, you’ll design and test new boundary security capabilities in a lab environment and implement newly tested boundary security capabilities into production environments. You will provide implementation teams with remote network firewall and security appliance support. You will also identify and support security requirements for switched and routed networks and implement network security best practice configuration and associated hardware and software.

You’ll discover and assess complex client enterprise network deployments, apply leading‑edge security principles, theories, and concepts, and contribute to the development of new principles and concepts. You’ll work on unusually complex problems, provide highly innovative solutions, operate with substantial latitude for unreviewed action or decision, and mentor or supervise employees in both company and technical competencies.

Work with us as we secure and protect DoD enterprise networks for the better.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
