Voyager Technologies is an innovative space, defense, and national security technology company delivering mission-critical solutions for national security and technological superiority.
The Network Engineer is responsible for hands-on engineering, implementation, operation, and support of Voyager's enterprise network infrastructure across corporate offices, engineering environments, manufacturing facilities, secure environments, newly acquired companies, and mission-support locations. Reporting to the Director of Networking, this role delivers secure, resilient, and supportable network solutions from approved designs through deployment, testing, documentation, and operational handoff.
Key responsibilities include:
**Network Engineering and Implementation**
- Implement, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot enterprise LAN, WAN, wireless, internet edge, VPN, remote-access, routing, switching, firewall, and network-service infrastructure
- Translate approved network designs and requirements into detailed configurations, implementation plans, test procedures, rollback plans, and as-built documentation
- Support network builds, site activations, office expansions, technology refreshes, migrations, acquisition integrations, and infrastructure projects
- Coordinate hardware staging, rack and stack, circuit turn-up, carrier connectivity, configuration deployment, cutovers, and post-implementation validation
- Validate routing, redundancy, failover, segmentation, security policy enforcement, application connectivity, and performance after changes or deployments
**Operations and Reliability**
- Monitor network health, availability, capacity, throughput, and performance; identify trends, bottlenecks, and risks before they affect users or mission operations
- Troubleshoot complex connectivity, latency, routing, wireless, firewall, and application-access issues; perform root-cause analysis and implement durable corrective actions
- Maintain network configurations, firmware, patches, backups, and lifecycle records in accordance with approved standards and change-management practices
- Participate in planned maintenance and provide on-call support for critical network incidents as required
- Support disaster-recovery, business-continuity, and failover testing for network infrastructure and critical services
**Security, Compliance, and Documentation**
- Partner with Cybersecurity to implement and maintain network segmentation, firewall policies, secure remote access, logging, access controls, and least-privilege principles
- Implement network controls that support CMMC, CUI, ITAR/EAR, government, and other applicable contractual or regulatory requirements
- Maintain accurate logical and physical network diagrams, IP addressing and VLAN/VRF records, circuit inventories, device configurations, implementation records, and support documentation
- Identify single points of failure, undocumented infrastructure, configuration drift, capacity constraints, security concerns, and lifecycle risks; escalate findings with practical remediation recommendations
**Collaboration and Continuous Improvement**
- Work with the Network Architect to implement enterprise architecture, reference designs, standards, and repeatable engineering patterns while providing field feedback that improves operational supportability
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Cloud, IT Operations, application teams, and business stakeholders to resolve network dependencies and deliver end-to-end solutions
- Work with vendors, managed service providers, telecommunications carriers, and technology partners to provision, implement, troubleshoot, and support network services
- Develop and maintain configuration templates, automation, scripts, and repeatable deployment methods that improve consistency, speed, and reliability
- Serve as an escalation resource for network incidents and provide technical guidance to IT personnel as needed
**Requirements**
- Approximately 5+ years of progressive enterprise network engineering or administration experience
- Strong hands-on knowledge of enterprise routing and switching, LAN/WAN, wireless, firewalls, VPN, internet connectivity, DNS/DHCP, IP addressing, network segmentation, and network monitoring
- Experience implementing and supporting networks across multiple sites or geographically distributed environments
- Working knowledge of routing protocols and resilient network design concepts, including BGP, OSPF, redundancy, high availability, QoS, and failover
- Demonstrated ability to execute network implementations, migrations, troubleshooting, testing, and operational handoff from approved designs and requirements
- Experience producing and maintaining network diagrams, configuration documentation, implementation plans, test procedures, and support records
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, written, and verbal communication skills; ability to work effectively with technical teams, vendors, and nontechnical stakeholders
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)) and eligible to obtain required export authorizations from the U.S. Department of State or Department of Commerce due to ITAR and EAR compliance requirements
