Sr Network Engineer

SRC is searching for a well-rounded Senior Network Engineer to architect, design, and implement secure Information Technology (IT) networks in support of the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) C2F Headquarters MILCON and related small projects. This role is critical to enabling advanced command and control operations, providing expertise in network design, enclave integration, and cybersecurity compliance across unclassified, secret, and TS/SCI domains. The engineer will manage multiple efforts simultaneously, from early-stage planning and Bill of Materials (BOM) development through installation oversight and operational validation. Responsibilities span procurement support (IGCE, C-SCRM vetting), enclave-specific product compliance (ITECH, DISA APL/EPL), and network performance optimization, ensuring that delivered capabilities align with mission requirements and DoD standards. This position requires close collaboration with functional area managers (FAMs), system engineers, and program sponsors to achieve seamless integration of new networks into secure facility environments, including SCIF and SAP-F spaces. Work supporting USSPACECOM will be performed onsite at government facilities in Huntsville, AL. Duties & Responsibilities Include:

Lead the design, documentation, and implementation of network architectures for C2F data centers, SCIF, and SAP-F spaces.
• Engineer and configure routers, switches, firewalls, and COMSEC devices to meet DoD and USSPACECOM mission requirements.
• Develop network diagrams, schematics, and configuration documentation in support of RMF/ATO efforts.
• Develop Bill of Materials (BOMs) and Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCEs) to support procurement packages.
• Implement security protocols (firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPN, TACLANE) to safeguard critical mission networks.
• Ensure equipment complies with enclave-specific Approved Product Lists (APL, EPL, ITECH).
• Perform performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and issue resolution using tools such as Wireshark, SolarWinds, and Splunk.
• Conduct supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) assessments as part of procurement and accreditation workflows.
• Ensure integration of emerging technologies (e.g., virtualization, VXLAN/EVPN, cloud interconnects) with legacy systems.
• Conduct capacity planning to scale networks for future mission growth.
• Support program reviews, briefings, and senior-level technical exchanges.

• 7+ years of progressive network engineering experience supporting DoD or IC programs.
• Hands-on experience configuring/administering routers, switches, and firewalls.
• Active CCNP or JNCIP certification.
• DoD 8570 IAT Level II (e.g., Security+ CE) or higher.
• TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or IT (or equivalent experience).

• 3+ years of network design experience with high availability/load-balanced architectures.
• Experience generating and reviewing procurement documentation (BOMs, IGCEs, C-SCRM checklists).
• Familiarity with enclave-specific compliance repositories (e.g., ITECH, DISA APL, EPL).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to brief senior leaders.
• Experience supporting MILCON or facility-based IT/OT integration projects.
• Knowledge of special-access facility infrastructure requirements (SAP-F).
