Wireless Network Engineer

Wireless Network Engineer The Opportunity Sometimes a customer describes a challenge, and the network diagram appears instantly in your mind, along with the thought that you can make it better and build a smarter solution. When you have engineered, integrated, and evaluated advanced wireless network technologies across a variety of military mission environments, you reach a point where you can visualize and create future network capabilities while anticipating the technical hurdles before they appear. You become the wireless networks engineer trusted to turn early concepts into functional prototypes and missionready solutions. You developed expertise through years of hands‑on work with operational and tactical radio and network systems, modern software architectures, and a deep understanding of how applications, transports, waveforms, and mission services operate on both disconnected, degraded, intermittent, and limited (D‑DIL) networks and enterprise, resilient, high‑performance networks. Are you ready to apply your knowledge, skill, and experience to some of the toughest networking challenges in defense? As a wireless networks engineer on our team, you will support concept development, prototype design, and solutions ideation for next‑generation network capabilities. You will oversee research, design, planning, integration, and evaluation of advanced wireless and high‑speed transport technologies by translating customer needs and strategic objectives into actionable architectures and prototype implementations of new and novel solutions. You will conduct in‑depth assessments of customer requirements, perform network modeling and simulation activities, evaluate and optimize performance, and provide technical consulting to define solution requirements to optimize for mission application needs. Your work will help shape how the Department of War evolves and adopts future networking technologies, from exploratory concepts and experimental prototypes to fully integrated operational systems. You will refine technical roadmaps, deliver solution briefs, collaborate with stakeholders, and represent innovative wireless capabilities at demonstrations and technical events. Once you have mastered these responsibilities, the next step is to mentor emerging engineers and help guide the next generation of wireless networking innovators. You Have Experience designing, integrating, and developing advanced wireless network capabilities using flexible software architectures and commercial off‑the‑shelf hardware Knowledge of how applications, transports, and mission services interact across contested and bandwidth‑limited environments Knowledge of military radio waveforms, transport, communications planning systems, and mission‑critical networking systems including interoperability across heterogeneous transports, routing frameworks, tactical edge networks, and government mission systems supporting the Department of War Ability to work in Agile development environments with continuous integration and DevSecOps practices that enable rapid prototyping, iterative refinement, and accelerated delivery of fieldable wireless networking capabilities Ability to establish trust, communicate effectively, and maintain strong relationships with clients, mission operators, network stakeholders, and technical partners to ensure alignment between operational networking needs and technical designs or capability roadmaps Ability to travel up to 15% of the time Secret clearance Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field Nice If You Have Experience developing modular, service‑based wireless and RF applications using microservices, well‑defined API specifications, and distributed network‑processing frameworks that support scalable, resilient wireless and spectrum‑aware operations Experience with orchestration and containerized deployments, such as Docker, Kubernetes, or serverless platforms, to rapidly field wireless prototypes, automate scaling of network functions, and ensure reliable delivery of RF and mission‑network services in contested or degraded environments Experience applying cloud technologies and modern data‑engineering techniques to host, process, and fuse high‑volume wireless, RF, and electromagnetic sensing data to support real‑time analytics, adaptive routing, and prototype network capability development Knowledge of advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine‑learning workflows, and disciplined MLOps pipelines that enable intelligent spectrum decision making, wireless performance prediction, and dynamic adaptation to RF interference or jamming Possession of excellent verbal and written communication skills for explaining wireless architectures, RF networking concepts, and EW/EMSO relevant design decisions, and for delivering capability demonstrations to mission and technical stakeholders TS/SCI clearance Master's degree in Computer Science or a STEM field CompTIA Security+ certification Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
