Network Engineer developing scalable systems and high - performance services for IS and clinical caregivers. Collaborating with teams and ensuring robust solutions while managing challenges and resource optimization.
About the role
- Network Architect designing and deploying Cisco SD-WAN solutions for USCG maritime operations. Collaborating with teams to ensure secure, resilient network connectivity across multiple cutters.
Responsibilities
- Design and Deploy Cisco SD-WAN Solutions: Plan, design, and implement Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN architectures for USCG cutters, ensuring scalable, secure, and resilient network connectivity for maritime operations.
- Proof of Concept (POC) Execution: Support the ongoing POC at the TISCOM C5ISC lab, configuring cloud and on-premises SD-WAN controllers (Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, Controller, and Validator) and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) on lab routers to validate performance security, and operation feasibility.
- Pilot Deployment on Cutters: Lead the deployment of SD-WAN solutions across up to nine USCG cutters ensuring seamless integration with existing network infrastructure and minimal operational disruption.
- Hardware Configuration and Upgrades: Configure and optimize Cisco 4331 and C8300 routers to meet SD-WAN requirements for high availability and redundancy.
- Security and Compliance: Implement end-to-end encryption, firewall policies, and network segmentation aligned with DoD security standards.
- Network Optimization and Monitoring: Continuously monitor SD-WAN performance during the 6-to-12-month pilot, adjusting configurations for bandwidth management, application-aware routing, and failover mechanisms.
- Troubleshooting and Support: Provide advanced troubleshooting for SD-WAN environments, addressing connectivity, performance, and security issues, ensuring minimal downtime for mission-critical operations.
- Knowledge Transfer and Documentation: Develop comprehensive documentation of SD-WAN configurations, policies, and procedures, and conduct training for USCG staff.
- Collaboration: Work closely with CyKor’s network architects/engineers, project managers, and USCG stakeholders.
