Leidos has an opening for a Network Engineer (Campus Area Network/Local Area Network (CAN/LAN)) to support global enterprise networks. The CAN/LAN service network architecture provides solutions for modernizing network components while supporting service delivery for requirements in a focused operational enterprise. Our team is completely replacing a global enterprise network while providing design, engineering, and transition for a wide range of network requirements. This is a unique and rare opportunity to build and transition critical operations to a modern service provider network architecture. The job duties of the Network Engineer (CAN/LAN) include interpreting requirements and applying standard design approaches for service delivery. The engineer will fully document designs with diagrams, bill of materials, cabling sheets, configurations, and other supporting documents. Utilizing our private test lab, the engineer will evaluate new technologies and capabilities, test proposed changes to production networks, and recreate troubleshooting scenarios to support the production enterprise network. Scheduling maintenance windows for migrating user connections from Legacy to the modern infrastructure transition services with minimal impact on critical data flows is also a key responsibility. The Network Engineer will provide technical expertise to Operations engineers and technicians, supporting fault isolation and resolution. The role requires solving tough problems with innovative and scalable solutions, as well as developing secure network designs that align with Defense Information Security Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and enterprise policies. Obtaining Authority to Operate (ATO) for new devices, software, and capabilities is essential. The engineer will supervise (not manage) other network support specialists to plan, coordinate, and implement network services. Additionally, the engineer will develop and improve design products, processes, and systems for our team to work efficiently and effectively. Although this position is focused on CAN/LAN, it offers the ability to learn and work on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Wide Area Networks (WANs).
