About the Role

What You'll Do

  • Document the integration of diverse telecommunications technologies — including radio, fiber, and cloud — into cohesive, operational systems.
  • Develop and execute test documentation, support troubleshooting efforts, and verify that system interfaces meet functional and performance requirements.
  • Create clear documentation supporting the installation, configuration, and upgrade of hardware, software, and network components.
  • Prepare and maintain comprehensive system design, installation, and operational manuals to support engineering, operations, and stakeholders.

What We're Looking For

  • U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain an active Public Trust clearance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years in mid-to-senior integration roles, with demonstrated success leading end-to-end system integration efforts from requirements through deployment.
  • Strong experience with Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), enterprise service buses, and middleware platforms such as MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, or Apache Kafka.
  • Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, VPNs, and firewalls, along with modern security standards including OAuth, SAML, and PKI.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud networking in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, plus containerization using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Proficiency in Python, Bash, or Java to automate workflows and integrate complex systems.
  • Strong Linux/Unix skills, including command-line operations, logging, shell scripting, and storage solutions (NAS/SAN).

Technical Stack

  • Architecture: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Apache Kafka
  • Networking & Security: TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, OAuth, SAML, PKI

  • Development & Systems: Python, Bash, Java, Linux/Unix, NAS/SAN

Team & Environment

You will be part of the Telecom team, working on technology that directly impacts public safety and national infrastructure — with the scale, complexity, and purpose that few roles can offer.
