1699 - Network Engineer IV

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph: "Sigma Defense is seeking a Network Engineer IV to support our team in San Diego, CA. The Network Engineer delivers advanced afloat C4ISR network engineering, integration, and sustainment for the Navy's carrier training tactical system - a ruggedized component of the CANES architecture used across Fleet units. The role ensures reliable tactical data transport, system interoperability, and secure network performance during Fleet training events and readiness exercises. The engineer supports NIWC Pacific and shipboard ITs by maintaining, configuring, troubleshooting, and modernizing Network hardware and software baselines. Position at the intersection of fleet training and afloat network readiness, the role provides hands-on technical leadership and direct support to operations units preparing for deployment." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with paragraphs. - Requirements: list: "3 - 5 years of network engineering experience. Strong network engineering and troubleshooting skills. Familiarity with Navy tactical networks and enclaves (NIPR/SIPR/CANES) Ability to operate across shipboard, NIWC, and TYCOM stakeholders Clear and effective communication with shipboard ITs and leadership Ability to support occasional underway periods or pier side testing. Experience with automation development, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Ansible, Python) is preferred. Familiarity with DevSecOps principles and Zero Trust architectures is preferred. Must be a U.S. citizen" Also "Candidate Differentiators:" includes more preferred experience: "Previous experience supporting CANES, ADNS, Carrier Training Units, Fleet training, or afloat training. Experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, or DevSecOps toolchains Programming or scripting experience to include Python, Bash and or PowerShell" Also "Mandatory Certifications: DoD 8570 IAT Level II (Security +) CCNA/CCNP Computer Programs/Software: Linux (RHEL) Windows Server Cisco IOS/NX-OS Juniper JUNOS Virtualization (VMware ESXi) Personnel Clearance Level: Candidate must possess or have the ability to obtain an active Secret security clearance or higher Clearance may be sponsored for the right candidate Candidate must hold an active Secret clearance to begin work. A TS/SCI clearance level is preferred but not required. Education Requirements: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Network Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study" We need to separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have to decide what goes where. Typically: Requirements = mandatory (years experience, citizenship, clearance, education, certifications). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (automation, DevSecOps, etc). Skills = technical skills (networking, Linux, Windows, Cisco, Juniper, VMware, scripting languages). Benefits = list of benefits. Pay = salary range. Schedule = maybe not given; no schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section. We must not include placeholder like "not specified". So omit Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info. So include everything. We need to format lists with

• . For prose, use

  . We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Network Engineer IV". Already not. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove EEO boilerplate etc. Let's extract sections: About the role: combine intro paragraphs. Responsibilities: The "Essential Job Duties (not all-inclusive):" list includes many duties. We can treat as Responsibilities. So Responsibilities section: list of duties. Requirements: mandatory items: 3-5 years experience, strong network engineering and troubleshooting skills, familiarity with Navy tactical networks (NIPR/SIPR/CANES), ability to operate across shipboard, NIWC, TYCOM stakeholders, clear communication, ability to support occasional underway periods or pier side testing, must be US citizen, mandatory certifications (DoD 8570 IAT Level II Security+, CCNA/CCNP), personnel clearance (active Secret or ability to obtain, TS/SCI preferred), education (Bachelor's degree in Network Engineering, Computer Science, or related). Also maybe "Computer Programs/Software: Linux (RHEL) Windows Server Cisco IOS/NX-OS Juniper JUNOS Virtualization (VMware ESXi)" could be considered skills but also could be qualifications. We'll decide. Qualifications: preferred qualifications: experience with automation development, scripting, IaC (Ansible, Python), familiarity with DevSecOps principles and Zero Trust architectures, candidate differentiators: previous experience supporting CANES, ADNS, Carrier Training Units, Fleet training, afloat training, experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, DevSecOps toolchains, programming/scripting experience (Python, Bash, PowerShell). Also maybe "Experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, or DevSecOps toolchains" is duplicate. Skills: technical skills: Linux (RHEL), Windows Server, Cisco IOS/NX-OS, Juniper JUNOS, Virtualization (VMware ESXi), scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell), network engineering/troubleshooting, etc. Could also include network hardware/software baselines, virtualization, enclave routing, cross domain interfaces, tactical data paths, RMF artifacts, STIG application, HBSS/ACAS compliance, vulnerability remediation, Zero Trust hardening, etc. But many of those are duties. We need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. Could put technical skills under Skills, and duties under Responsibilities. Let's list duties from "Essential Job Duties (not all-inclusive):": - Network Engineering & System Sustainment: * Maintain, configure, and troubleshoot carrier training tactical hardware and associated network components * Perform system updates, patching, baseline management, and configuration control * Support virtualization, enclave routing, cross domain interfaces, and tactical data paths - Afloat Integration & Technical Support: * Provide direct technical support to shipboard ITs during Fleet training evolutions * Conduct pier side and underway testing of Carrier Training Units * Validate system readiness prior to major Fleet exercises and deployment workups - Cybersecurity & Compliance: * Support RMF artifacts, STIG application, HBSS/ACAS compliance, and vulnerability remediation * Ensure Carrier Training Units meet Navy cybersecurity and accreditation requirements * Support Zero Trust-aligned hardening and secure configuration practices - System Testing & Evaluation: * Execute functional and performance tests, regression tests, and interoperability assessments * Document findings, track anomalies, and recommend corrective actions * Support automated test development where feasible - Program Integration & Coordination: * Coordinate with NIWC engineers, shipboard personnel, and TYCOM/Fleet stakeholders * Align system updates with fleet schedules, maintenance windows, and CANES baselines - Documentation & Reporting: * Produce technical reports, configuration documentation, and system status updates * Provide clear recommendations to leadership on system risks, readiness, and modernization needs We'll put these as

  • under Responsibilities. Now Requirements: list mandatory items. Let's create a list: - 3 - 5 years of network engineering experience - Strong network engineering and troubleshooting skills - Familiarity with Navy tactical networks and enclaves (NIPR/SIPR/CANES) - Ability to operate across shipboard, NIWC, and TYCOM stakeholders - Clear and effective communication with shipboard ITs and leadership - Ability to support occasional underway periods or pier side testing - Must be a U.S. citizen - Mandatory Certifications: DoD 8570 IAT Level II (Security+), CCNA/CCNP - Personnel Clearance: Must possess or be able to obtain an active Secret security clearance or higher; TS/SCI preferred but not required - Education: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Network Engineering, Computer Science, or related field We could also include "Computer Programs/Software: Linux (RHEL) Windows Server Cisco IOS/NX-OS Juniper JUNOS Virtualization (VMware ESXi)" maybe as Skills. Qualifications (preferred): - Experience with automation development, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Ansible, Python) - Familiarity with DevSecOps principles and Zero Trust architectures - Previous experience supporting CANES, ADNS, Carrier Training Units, Fleet training, or afloat training - Experience with automation, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, or DevSecOps toolchains - Programming or scripting experience to include Python, Bash and/or PowerShell Skills: - Linux (RHEL) - Windows Server - Cisco IOS/NX-OS - Juniper JUNOS - Virtualization (VMware ESXi) - Scripting languages: Python, Bash, PowerShell - Network engineering/troubleshooting (already in requirements but okay) - Experience with virtualization, enclave routing, cross domain interfaces, tactical data paths (maybe duplicate) - Knowledge of RMF, STIG, HBSS/ACAS, Zero Trust hardening (maybe duplicate) But we can keep skills as technical platforms.

    We must not include empty sections. Check that we didn't include any boilerplate. Now craft the About the role paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs but we can combine. Let's write: Sigma Defense is seeking a Network Engineer IV to support our team in San Diego, CA. The Network Engineer delivers advanced afloat C4ISR network engineering, integration, and sustainment for the Navy's carrier training tactical system—a ruggedized component of the CANES architecture used across Fleet units.

Positioned at the intersection of fleet training and afloat network readiness, the role provides hands‑on technical leadership and direct support to operations units preparing for deployment. Now Responsibilities list each bullet. We'll need to preserve the subheadings? Could keep as part of list items. We'll produce list items like: - Maintain, configure, and troubleshoot carrier training tactical hardware and associated network components - Perform system updates, patching, baseline management, and configuration control - Support virtualization, enclave routing, cross domain interfaces, and tactical data paths - Provide direct technical support to shipboard ITs during Fleet training evolutions - Conduct pier side and
