In this Integration Services role, you will lead a team of engineers, perform project engineering support, brief customers on project status, provide technical engineering support for the development, test, deployment, and sustainment of a complex telecommunication system. As a Senior Network Engineer on this program, you will be a member of a team that interacts with technical and non-technical teammates, including customers and vendors. You will be looked at as a subject matter expert in all things related to the IP and Optical networks - including the WAN and LAN in multiple environments (DEV/TEST and Production). Integration Services supports mission-critical operations across the Defense Information Systems Network. Under this program, Installation Testing and Acceptance (IT&A) activities enable new/revised capabilities that are designed/built/installed by DISA and other sources. You will operate as a key expert within a high-visibility DISA program helping shape delivery strategy, drive execution, and ensure mission outcomes across a complex global operating environment. Our customer is the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and acts as the provider of GIG/Defense Information System Network (DISN) services to the Department of War (DoW) and national security organizations. --- What You'll Do · Manage a small team of engineers and support customer briefings · Provide engineering and technical expertise on all issues relating to the specified telecommunications networks/information systems within the DISN. · Research, analyze and/or develop reports that provide engineering and recommendations across a broad range of specialized network/system functional areas, such as network systems engineering, network topology planning, network route planning, management of network configurations, migration strategies, and method of procedures with an understanding of modeling and simulation of the networks/systems. · Collaborate with DISN government engineers and leadership, project managers, and GSM-O Task Managers for coordination, implementation, and testing of new projects to ensure successful transitions to operations. · Evaluate system network requirements and make appropriate technical recommendations. · Provide engineering to establish remote management connectivity, oversee performance verification testing (BER or "burn-in" tests) and configuring alarm and system profiles, and configuring/testing various layers of the OSI model. · Support installation test and acceptance (IT&A) of network components both directly through the various GUI/CLI or interface systems, by directing and/or facilitating remote testing with on-site field engineering support. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [30 Years of Rip and Tear: Doom’s development story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/599-30-years-of-rip-and-tear-doom-s-development-story) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) - [Your Infrastructure Is Not a Playground: AI Agents for Infra Done Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2084-your-infrastructure-is-not-a-playground-ai-agents-for-infra-done-right) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence)
