Description

At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity and bringing your whole self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. Our employees are not only part of history, they're making history.

At the heart of Defining Possible is our commitment to missions. In rapidly changing global security environments, Northrop Grumman brings informed insights and secure technological solutions to enable strategic objectives. We’re looking for innovators who can help us keep building on our wide portfolio of secure, affordable, integrated, and multi-domain systems and technologies that fuel those missions. By joining in our shared mission, we will support yours by expanding your personal network and developing skills, whether you are new to the field or an industry thought leader. At Northrop Grumman, you will have the resources, support, and team to do some of the best work of your career.

The Northrop Grumman CIDO Classified Solutions team is seeking a Network Administrator / Engineer (at level 3 or level 4) to join our team supporting complex, multi-site networks that enable critical space missions. This position works out of our Dulles, VA location with extensive business travel (up to 25%) as required.

In this role, you will design, implement, secure, and sustain network infrastructure for launch sites, factory operations, integration and test facilities, and program-specific environments across both unclassified and classified domains.

You will work with switches, routers, firewalls, TACLANE encryptors, and network management tools to ensure highly available, compliant, and well-documented networks that directly support our Space Sector programs.

Responsibilities

The selected candidate will:

Network Architecture, Deployment & Operations

Architect and implement network solutions for Space Sector programs, including launch sites, factory networks, ISP connectivity, and secure reach-back to classified environments.
Build and deploy launch site networks; support factory and mission support networks (e.g., SMF, TSCIF, product movement).
Configure, maintain, and troubleshoot network devices across multiple sites (e.g., ISP, backbone, test racks).
Specify, evaluate, and support procurement of network equipment (switches, routers, firewalls, encryptors, TACLANEs) in coordination with Supply Chain and program teams.
Perform site surveys and support facilities with space planning and buildout for network infrastructure.
Support office moves, physical cable installation, and ISP circuit ordering, installation, and troubleshooting.

Cybersecurity, STIG & Compliance

Perform quarterly STIG checks and updates on network devices in alignment with Space Systems cyber and program security requirements.
Implement and/or support:
NTP and routing key management processes.
ACLs controlling border traffic, router transit traffic, and device access.
DoS protection and QoS policies.
Port-level authentication (MAB/802.1X) and separate out-of-band (OOB) management networks.
Monitor vulnerability notifications, analyze impact to Space Sector network infrastructure, and support remediation activities.
Plan and execute IOS/firmware upgrades to address bugs and critical vulnerabilities in coordination with IA/Cyber.
Support RMF and authorization packages; participate in internal and external assessments, inspections, and audits.

Automation, Management & Documentation

Develop, test, and deploy network automation to increase consistency and reduce manual effort across Space Systems programs.
Implement and maintain network management solutions (e.g., SolarWinds: configuration backups, log archiving, configuration scripts).
Maintain baseline configurations and configuration control for all Space Sector networks and environments.
Track network equipment inventory and support asset management processes.
Create, update, and maintain network documentation (diagrams, configuration standards, processes) for both unclassified and classified networks.

Collaboration & Program Support

Participate in program and IPT meetings to support requirements definition, design trades, and risk mitigation related to network capabilities for Space Sector missions.
Partner with IA/Cyber, Systems Engineering, Program Management, Facilities, and Operations to deliver integrated solutions that meet cost, schedule, and technical objectives.
Provide troubleshooting, hot fixes, and responsive support for program network issues in fast-paced launch and mission environments.
Research alternate technologies and approaches to meet evolving mission and business needs within Space Systems.
