Requirements
• Clearance Requirement: Must hold an active Secret clearance (Due to federal security clearance requirements, U.S. Citizenship is strictly required for this role). • 5+ years of experience in network engineering, tactical communications, or IT infrastructure in military or high-security environments. This includes hands-on experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting IP networks in live production or operational settings. • 2+ years of technical experience with tactical radio systems and their IP networking capabilities, including configuring waveforms, managing MANET topologies, and troubleshooting RF-to-IP data paths. • Strong proficiency in network fundamentals including subnetting, VLANs, static and dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP), NAT, firewall ACLs, and packet-level troubleshooting with tools like Wireshark, tcpdump, and traceroute. • A highly adaptable, problem-solving mindset, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, move fast, and balance immediate operational fixes with long-term technical fidelity. • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal. As the crucial bridge between the operational edge and our core development team, you must be able to translate complex, edge-case technical realities and user workflows into clear, actionable requirements for product engineers. • Experience with multi-bridge networking solutions (e.g., Persistent Systems MPU5 Wave Relay, TrellisWare, or similar mesh networking platforms) and cross-network gateway configurations. • Familiarity with SATCOM and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) data transport, including optimizing data flows over high-latency, bandwidth-constrained satellite links. • Network certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+, or equivalent military networking training (e.g., 25-series MOS equivalencies). • Experience with software-defined networking (SDN) or network automation (e.g., Ansible, Terraform for network device configuration). • Prior experience operating at the SOF tactical edge, including planning and executing network architectures for field exercises, deployments, or operational missions. • Previous experience working directly with SOCOM, JSOC, or Component Command customers, with an understanding of how tactical network design supports mission command workflows. • Familiarity with HAIPE/Type-1 encryptors (e.g., KG-175, TACLANE) and their integration into tactical network architectures. • Clearance: Secret
Responsibilities
• Architect Tactical Network Infrastructure: Design, deploy, and maintain the network transport layer that connects our software across SOCOM's operational environments, from garrison to the tactical edge, including configuration of routers, switches, and subnetting for segmented, multi-enclave networks. • Integrate and Optimize Tactical Radio Networks: Configure and troubleshoot data flows across tactical radio systems (e.g., AN/PRC-117G, AN/PRC-163, MPU5), ensuring reliable IP transport over constrained, intermittent, and low-bandwidth RF links. • Implement Multi-Bridging and Cross-Network Routing: Engineer multi-bridge configurations that enable data to traverse heterogeneous network segments — including tactical radios, local Wi-Fi, LTE, and SATCOM — with optimized routing, QoS, and payload compression for bandwidth-constrained environments. • Solve Problems in Real-Time: Act as the first line of technical defense for network-layer issues, rapidly diagnosing and resolving connectivity failures, routing loops, radio interoperability problems, and throughput degradation as they arise. • Bridge the Gap: Translate the unique, edge-case operational realities you observe (e.g., waveform-specific throughput limitations, MANET topology instability, multi-enclave routing conflicts) into actionable technical requirements for the core product development team.
