n The Network Discovery Lead will oversee a team of network engineers and analysts responsible for performing virtual and physical discovery of DAFA networks and associated analyses to establish a detailed network migration plan for each DAFA’s journey to the DoDNet environment.\n \n \nRequires an active DOD Secret clearance.\n \n \nPrimary Responsibilities:\n \n \n

• Manage multiple teams of engineers and analysts tasked with performing physical and virtual discovery of DAFA networks and analysis of collected data to establish a detailed plan for network migrations to DoDNet.\n
• Mentor network engineers while collaborating closely with the Network Engineering Lead and Project Managers to ensure alignment and team growth.\n
• Continuously seek process enhancements to streamline and accelerate network discovery, analysis, and planning.\n
• Plan and design secure network solutions to consolidate or migrate connectivity services under an enterprise service.\n
• Partner with key stakeholders and technical experts to perform legacy environment discovery, assessing current capabilities, configurations, and unique requirements to develop a design and architecture that uses standard design patterns.\n
• Design secure wide area connectivity inclusive of underlay, overlay, and COI transport design that supports performance, quality of service, security, and mission requirements.\n
• Provide secure access solutions leveraging wired and wireless technologies, integrating standards, use cases/scenarios, and develop associated implementation and transition plans.\n
• Integrate capacity planning and scaling of network and security stack environments into the overall design of solutions.\n
• Collect, investigate, and identify network optimization strategies and techniques to meet capacity and performance standards.\n
• Identify legacy service paths (i.e. dataflow, firewall rulesets, and ACLs) and develop strategies and designs for the to-be enterprise service capability to meet requirements while balancing security, sustainability, and maintainability.\n
• Support development of IP addressing schemes across IPv4 and IPv6 networks.\n
• Work with information assurance teams to ensure compliance to DoD standards to assist with providing accreditation artifacts.\n
• Serve as lead architect for the agencies our engineers support through migrations\n
• Set strategy and improve the processes and methods for network discovery and planning, including RFIs, EIPs, diagrams, and IP schema\n
• Solve high-level network architecture problems and work through them with agency engineers, including finding solutions when we hit roadblocks during planning\n
• Mentor and develop their engineers\n
• Support leadership during migration prep and execution\n
• Multitask across many concurrent agencies and workstreams\n
• Bring technical depth from Layer 1 hardware through routing adjacencies and deep technical solutions\n
