Job Description

Our customer is seeking Senior Network Engineers to support the design, modernization, integration, and expansion of their tactical network.

Successful candidates will be comfortable operating with minimal supervision, engaging directly with customers, and translating evolving requirements into scalable network solutions. This role requires a strong engineering mindset and the ability to support multiple rapid-development efforts simultaneously.
