Senior Network Engineer (CCIE)

NETWORK ENGINEERING LEAD | ROUTING, SWITCHING AND MULTICAST | 6 months full-time
Compensation: $115 - $120/hr

POSITION OVERVIEW

Lead hands-on assessment, troubleshooting, remediation, and validation for enterprise network services supporting video and other time-sensitive applications. This role requires deep routing and switching expertise, advanced multicast knowledge, and the ability to trace complex transport issues across network and encryption boundaries.

What You Will Do

• Assess current network architecture, device configurations, routing domains, VLANs, dependencies, and operational constraints; compare documented designs with observed behavior.

• Diagnose and remediate multicast and video-transport issues through IGMP/PIM analysis, routing and switching review, packet capture, and traffic-path analysis.

• Analyze transport across encrypted links, including MTU and fragmentation, path symmetry, QoS markings, latency, packet loss, and multicast or unicast behavior.

• Develop corrective actions with customer stakeholders, document proposed changes and rollback considerations, and implement approved changes during authorized maintenance windows.

• Plan and conduct end-to-end validation, including operational testing with relevant application and video systems; support post-implementation issue resolution.

• Co-lead secure network integration design with the security engineer and review high- and low-level designs, network diagrams, and future-state documentation.

• Maintain accurate configuration records, technical findings, validation evidence, and sustainment guidance; contribute to customer knowledge transfer.

Required Qualifications

• Active CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification.

• Demonstrated expertise in enterprise routing and switching, multicast networking, packet-capture analysis, and video-transport troubleshooting.

• Experience analyzing IGMP and PIM behavior, multicast forwarding, VLAN and routing design, and network performance across complex paths.

• Ability to assess network changes, document technical findings, and validate end-to-end service behavior in production or mission-critical environments.

• Must be a U.S. person and hold an active Secret clearance; must meet applicable secure-facility access requirements.

• Ability to work on site at a secure customer facility.

Work Environment

On-site in a closed, secure network environment. Work requires disciplined assessment and change control, with implementation and testing coordinated with customer stakeholders.
