The role supports voice, video, collaboration, call routing, conferencing, endpoint, gateway, and transport integration across classified, multi‑enclave, and air‑gapped environments.

Develop and validate UC designs that account for network transport, QoS, routing, segmentation, encryption, identity, certificates, endpoint management, high availability, and sustainment. Implement and troubleshoot UC components such as call managers, voice gateways, session border controllers, SIP trunks, dial plans, conferencing bridges, VTC systems, and collaboration endpoints. Coordinate UC transport requirements with WAN, LAN, crypto, identity, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and operations teams. Develop UC implementation plans, call flow diagrams, dial plans, test procedures, configuration standards, and operational support documentation. Support lab validation, proof‑of‑concept demonstrations, technical pilots, cutovers, integration events, and operational acceptance testing. Support RMF, ATO, STIG, vulnerability remediation, and cybersecurity compliance activities for UC infrastructure. Mentor junior UC engineers and promote engineering standards, troubleshooting discipline, and documentation quality. Required Education, Certification, Skills, Capabilities Demonstrated senior‑level experience implementing and supporting enterprise UC, voice, video, collaboration, conferencing, or mission communications environments. Hands‑on experience with UC platforms and technologies such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager, voice gateways, SIP, SBC/CUBE, VTC, collaboration endpoints, or equivalent systems. Strong practical knowledge of SIP, RTP/SRTP, QoS, dial plans, call routing, certificates, directory integration, high availability, and UC troubleshooting. Experience supporting classified, TS/SCI, multi‑enclave, internet‑connected, or air‑gapped communications environments. Ability to coordinate technical dependencies across WAN, LAN, identity, encryption, cybersecurity, endpoint, and operations teams. Experience supporting RMF processes, ATO documentation, STIG compliance, security controls, or equivalent cybersecurity compliance activities for communications infrastructure. Ability to produce clear technical documentation, diagrams, implementation guides, test procedures, and operational support materials. Desired Education, Certification, Skills, Capabilities Professional certifications such as CCNP Collaboration, CCNP Enterprise, Security+, CISSP, Microsoft, or equivalent technical credentials. Experience integrating UC services with Type 1 encryption, classified networks, video teleconferencing, cross‑domain dependencies, or mission communications systems. Experience with Microsoft Teams, Exchange, identity federation, certificate management, or hybrid communications environments where applicable. Experience with UC monitoring, call quality analytics, packet capture, voice/video troubleshooting, and performance engineering tools. Familiarity with DoD UC security requirements, STIGs, E911 dependencies, endpoint hardening, and operational continuity planning. Experience developing migration plans, cutover plans, user transition plans, and operational runbooks. Primary Work Location Work is expected to be fully onsite in Arlington, VA.
