Network Effects Engineer

Job description

Do you want to perform advanced research, development, and test & evaluation of communications systems and network technologies that enable stealthy and resilient operations?

If so, join our innovative team of engineers overcoming some of the most sophisticated networking and communication systems issues in denied, contested, and sensitive environments. We are looking for an engineer who thrives in a fast paced environment to integrate and operationalize low-profile capabilities that employ wireless and networking technologies.

As a Network Effects Engineer, you will:

• Develop, evaluate, and qualify an evolving portfolio of network and comms enabled capabilities, determining their real-world operational impact, signature footprint, and clandestine survivability.
• Design, build, and orchestrate threat-representative network topologies and software-defined comms systems incorporating Anti-Detection and Anti-Censorship concepts to serve as test ranges tailored for unique mission profiles.
• Develop and deploy software automation and analytical tools used in Test & Evaluation (T&E) of comms and network-based effects.
• Collaborate directly with mission partners and operators, to translate sophisticated operational challenges in denied environments into actionable, low-profile technical solutions.
• Hone leadership skills by mentoring technical teams and driving them toward robust solutions for clandestine capabilities.

You meet the minimum qualifications for this position if you...

• Have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a closely associated technical field.
