• Network Installation/Maintenance

• Information Systems Security Engineering SAS requires experienced Network

•Managers/Administrators with Radio Frequency systems and components familiarity who are capable of reliably executing the following responsibilities:

• Consult and coordinate with external organizations to resolve network, system, server, or other development and test infrastructure issues.

• Identify and select IT products, tools, services, and infrastructure components for development systems.

• Strategize/design/select architectures and procedures required to solve complex infrastructure problems.

• Develop/contribute to/evaluate technical proposals for changes to CITE facility networks.

• Install and customize as necessary HW and/or SW components into development and test infrastructure computer systems and networks.

• Maintain computer system and network HW or SW, including UPS network.

• Manage, monitor, and control networks.

• Troubleshoot networks, computers, and peripheral devices to isolate causes of failures/issues.

• Conduct site surveys for IT installations.

• Validate testing and quality assurance of development and test infrastructure systems.

• Analyze infrastructure problems to determine technical solutions.

• Identify new and existing products, technologies, and/or architectures to solve design, development, and test problems.

• Perform high-level design, specifying system and component performance and interface requirements.

• Translate conceptual designs into technical specifications.

• Install, test, troubleshoot, repair, maintain, configure, and improve development and test infrastructure equipment.

• Perform all life cycle support:

• HW, SW, firmware, and configuration upgrades or modifications to currently installed development and test infrastructure equipment.

• Effect repair and modification of HW components to include micro-soldering to replace components, repair traces to keep systems/devices in operating condition, and facilitate reverse engineering efforts.

• The specialized skills required for this highly complex role include:

• Understanding the architecture/topology of SW/HW/networks, including WANs/CANs/LANs, telecommunication systems, their components, and associated protocols and standards.

• Configuring, managing, and sustaining development and testing network infrastructure and computer systems.

• Comprehension of the theory, design, and implementation of network architectures.

• Applying concepts, principles, theories, and methods for designing, development, evaluating, testing, and securing development and testing infrastructure networks.

• Monitoring and maintaining applications within an IT environment.

• Expertise in the concepts, principles, theories, and methods for network connectivity (e.g. routing, switching, and IP addressing).

• Maintaining awareness of new, emerging, and evolving technology, tools, and trends applicable to mobile/RF development and testing infrastructure networks requirements.

• Knowledge of the concepts, principles, and theories of telecommunications, including their components and associated protocols and standards, and how they integrate with one another (e.g. transmissions, switching, routing management).

• Experience in the design, implementation, and operation of telecommunications systems.

• Familiarity with the specifications, uses, and types of security hardware and software options.

• Understanding of the concepts and principles of computer security.

• Using the principles and key elements of Configuration Management to plan, manage, or document the implementation, modification, or integration of systems.

• Implementing, configuring, and sustaining computer/network security solutions (e.g. encryption, firewalls, anti-virus rule sets, and intrusion detection/prevention systems).

• Planning, coordinating, and administering the installation, testing, operating, troubleshooting, and maintenance of hardware and software systems.

• Maintaining systems inventory, non-attributable systems matrix, and rack/elevation/room drawings.

• Implementing safety protocols.
