Own your opportunity to support our nation's defense. Make an impact by connecting and securing critical operations across the globe, keeping our country safe and secure.
Transform networks into operational edge as a Network Engineer with GDIT. You’ll architect, integrate, and sustain Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) and related Navy tactical network capabilities with NIWC Pacific (Codes 55131/55132/55133) in support of PMW-160 Tactical Networks—across ashore, afloat, subsurface, airborne, mobile, and joint environments.
MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT
Design and integrate CANES L2/L3 architectures (core/distribution/access, spine-leaf, EVPN-VXLAN), IPv4/IPv6, MPLS, multicast (PIM/IGMP), QoS, and segmentation for mission enclaves.
Engineer WAN/transport edges (e.g., ADNS-like, SATCOM/optical), GPON, wireless, and boundary defenses (firewalls, IDS/IPS, TACLANE/VPN), aligning to DISA STIGs and Navy policy.
Implement/operate virtualized data-center networking (VMware vSphere/vCenter; NSX-T or Cisco ACI), load balancing (e.g., F5), and zero-trust/micro-segmentation patterns.
Produce installation design packages (IDPs), rack elevations, cabling/power/HVAC calcs, BoMs, and as-builts; support BESEPs/SHIPALTs and CCB/PTRB change control.
Plan and execute SOVT and DT&E network events; author test plans/procedures, conduct packet analysis/throughput testing, and support TRR readiness.
Operate/optimize monitoring and observability (SNMP/NetFlow/IPFIX, SolarWinds, Splunk, Wireshark); build dashboards, alerts, and SLA/SLO/KPI reporting.
Automate configuration and compliance (Ansible/Python, Git, CI/CD for network configs); detect/remediate drift and enforce golden baselines.
Perform Tier III fault isolation and root-cause analysis; document fixes via MS/FRACAS and feed reliability insights to production and installation teams.
Coordinate with cybersecurity to preserve ATO conditions (ACAS results, IAVM remediation) and with CM (CMPro) to maintain approved hardware/software baselines.
Brief IPTs/WIPTs, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to SE/implementation plans and readiness artifacts.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED (Required):
Security Clearance: Active Secret clearance.
Experience:
2+ years network engineering (design/implementation/ops) for enterprise or tactical C4ISR networks; 2+ years supporting Navy programs (e.g., CANES/ADNS-like).
Hands-on with BGP/OSPF (IS-IS a plus), EVPN-VXLAN or equivalent overlays, multicast, QoS, and IPv6.
Virtualized networking (vSphere/vCenter; NSX-T or ACI) and perimeter security (next-gen firewalls, VPN, IDS/IPS).
Authoring IDPs/as-builts/BoMs and supporting SOVT/DT&E/TRR activities.
Tools: Wireshark/Tshark, SolarWinds (or equivalent), Git; automation with Ansible and Python.
Standards & Compliance: Working knowledge of DISA SRGs/STIGs, IAVM processes, and Navy change/configuration governance (CCB/PTRB/CMPro).
Certifications: DoD 8570/8140 IAT-II baseline (e.g., Security+ CE) required; CCNP Enterprise (or JNCIP) highly preferred.
Education: BS/BA in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (equivalent experience may substitute per GDIT policy).
Work Location: Onsite NIWC Pacific, San Diego, CA (labs/shipyards/fleet concentration areas). Limited CONUS/OCONUS travel as tasking requires; ability to work in classified labs and onboard ships/submarines/airborne ground sites.
Position Availability: Position is pending final contract award.
US Citizenship Required
WHAT WE’D LOVE FOR YOU TO HAVE (Desired):
CCIE, JNCIE, VCP-NV, PCNSE/NSE, RHCSA/RHCE, ITIL v4 Foundation.
Optical/DWDM/SONET and timing/sync (NTP/PTP) experience; SATCOM integration; GPON design/implementation.
Experience with TACLANE/KG-series COMSEC integration and cross-domain/guard interfaces.
Prior NIWC Pacific/PMW-160 support; familiarity with BESEP/SHIPALT workflows and CCRI preparations.
Container/Kubernetes networking (CNI/Calico), API-driven network automation (NETCONF/RESTCONF/YANG), and zero-trust reference designs.
