## Description

As a Cybersecurity Network Engineer on our team, you'll work with Booz Allen colleagues and government customers to develop and rapidly deploy the next generation of space sensing capabilities to deter attacks and provide critical information to our warfighters to defeat our enemies in battle. Your customer will trust you to not only test, analyze, evaluate, validate, and verify these systems, but also identify areas requiring urgent mitigation upfront and early to develop this system with advanced technology solutions. You'll lead the sustainment, optimization, security, and lifecycle management of complex, mission-critical networks supporting government mission systems. You'll serve as the primary technical authority for ensuring high availability, secure data transport, and resilient communication paths across the sustainment portfolio.

You will oversee, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot complex Information Technology (IT) or Operational Technology (OT) network infrastructures supporting mission systems to ensure maximum uptime and stability of mission-critical operations. You'll lead the engineering analysis, testing, troubleshooting, and deployment of complex network configurations for sustainment activities. You'll serve as the senior network authority to drive network sustainment, optimization, and remediation efforts into the maintenance and acquisition lifecycles. You'll partner with government engineering and program management teams to ensure large-scale network sustainment efforts. You'll also ensure vital network security requirements are accurately prioritized and captured in government funding requests.

Grow your skills by merging innovative engineering methodologies and cross-disciplinary coordination to create tomorrow's solutions. Join our team and create the future of space sensing in the Air Force.
