- Configure and verify network devices, review implementation details, and select troubleshooting approaches consistent with approved architecture and change procedures.
- Resolve complex routing, switching, circuit, and configuration problems using network records, test results, and traffic behavior.
- Coordinate Initial Test and Acceptance (IT&A), assess results, and verify that changes provide the required end to end connectivity.
- Evaluate the impact of deployed changes and coordinate corrective actions through established change management processes.
- Provide technical guidance to entry level and journeyman analysts, review documentation, and share troubleshooting methods and lessons learned.
- Maintain implementation and completion records, communicate technical risks, and recommend improvements to recurring service delivery problems.
Required Skills and EducationBachelor's degree in information technology, computer science, telecommunications, or a related field with 4 years of relevant experience; master's degree with 2 years; doctorate with no prior relevant work experience required; associate's degree with 6 years; or high school diploma with 8 years.

- U.S. citizenship and an active Secret security clearance.
- Current CompTIA Security+ CE or an equivalent baseline certification accepted for the position.
- Experience implementing and troubleshooting routed and switched networks, including device configuration, service testing, and circuit activation.
- Strong working knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VRFs, WAN connectivity, and related network services.
- Ability to interpret technical requirements, analyze test and performance data, and independently develop solutions to complex implementation problems.
- Ability to coordinate work across customer and vendor teams, explain technical issues clearly, and provide practical guidance to other analysts.
- Ability to work on site at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.
Preferred Skills and Education- CCNP, CCNA, or a comparable routing and switching certification.
- Experience with DISA, Defense Information System Network operations, or defense network service implementation.
- Experience with DISA request fulfillment, TSRs, TSOs, completion reports, and customer acceptance activities.
