This position is responsible for overall network security engineering support across a broad range of efforts, including planning, designing, and evaluating the security components of the network. Duties include providing specifications for network security architecture, evaluating and recommending new technologies to enhance current capabilities, performing needs assessments, and directing the installation, configuration, testing, and tuning of network security infrastructure. The successful candidate serves as a technical leader and subject matter expert - assessing the current security architecture, defining the controls and segmentation model the enterprise needs, building practical implementation plans with realistic risk and rollback provisions, and directing a team of engineers to deliver them under aggressive timelines. Days Required in Office: Five Days in Office Until Acclimated and then possibly One Day Remote Clearance Required: Secret Scope and Impact Impact: Influences development of solutions that impact strategic project and program goals and business results. Recommends and develops new technical solutions, products, and security standards. Leads and manages the work of other technical staff that has significant impact on project results and outputs. Complexity: Resolves highly complex problems through significant application of technical knowledge, conceptualization, reasoning, and interpretation. Develops solutions that are highly innovative and achieved through research and integration of best practices. Communication: Communicates with government, program, cybersecurity, and technical leadership on matters of significant technical importance. Presents security architecture recommendations, implementation plans, risks, dependencies, and status to technical leadership, cybersecurity authorities, stakeholders, and approval boards, and works to build consensus around new concepts, practices, and approaches. Knowledge: In-depth understanding of network security principles, theories, and concepts and their application across a range of programs. Serves as a subject matter expert within the network security domain. Primary Responsibilities: Network Security Engineering and Architecture Design, engineer, and implement enterprise network security architecture spanning next-generation firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, web and TLS proxies, VPN and encryption services, network access control, DNS security, and east-west security controls. Evaluate the current network security architecture, identify gaps and improvement opportunities, estimate level of effort, assess implementation risk, and develop practical engineering plans to strengthen enterprise security capabilities. Lead network segmentation and secure connectivity efforts, including data-flow mapping, security-zone and enclave design, firewall rule set and ACL review and rationalization, routing and security policy coordination, cutover sequencing, validation, and stakeholder approval. Design and implement network access control and device-posture enforcement (Comply-to-Connect style), including identity and device authentication, posture assessment, policy enforcement points, remediation workflows, and phased enforcement rollout. Advance zero-trust-aligned networking, micro-segmentation, least-privilege access policy, and encrypted-transport strategies across the enterprise.
