Wireless Network Engineer
$77.6k - $176kBooz Allen Hamilton
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 handson 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, highperformance 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 nextgeneration network capabilities. You will oversee research, design, planning, integration, and evaluation of advanced wireless and highspeed transport technologies by translating customer needs and strategic objectives into actionable architectures and prototype implementations of new and novel solutions. You will conduct indepth 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. Work with us and help build the future of advanced network technology in defense for the better.
Join us. The mission will not wait
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 bandwidthlimited environments
Knowledge of military radio waveforms, transport, communications planning systems, and mission critical networking systems including interoperability across heterogeneous transports, routing frameworks, tacticaledge 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
