1766 - Network Engineer

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 preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range: $90,000 - $130,000 annually => Pay section. Benefits listed => Benefits section. Schedule not mentioned => do not include Schedule section. Also we need sections: About the role (maybe from first paragraph). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (list). Qualifications (maybe education, clearance, certifications). Skills (maybe technical skills). We need to decide what goes where. The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include those headings if content exists. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract details. Let's parse the posting: First sentence: "Sigma Defense is seeking a self-directed and highly motivated individual to join our team as Network Engineer to help engage in converging all voice, video, and data communications between ship and shore." Then description of ADNS: "The Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) is an Acquisition Category II spiral development program that incorporates and adapts a variety of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government-Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) hardware and software. ADNS is the Tactical Internet Protocol (IP) Routing and Switching system for Wide Area Network IP Services which connect afloat units to the various global shores sites. It provides ship and shore IP connectivity and promotes efficient use of available satellite and line of site communications bandwidth." Then EEO boilerplate (remove). Then "Requirements" heading (in posting). Then list of requirements. We need to extract requirements: "5+ years of experience in DoD or other Government Unclassified and Classified Systems/Networks, Cisco Routing and Switching, Network Engineering, Network Testing, and Implementation Planning. Experience designing, deploying, supporting, or managing enterprise LAN/WAN and SD-WAN environments is highly desired. Experience supporting large, multi-site or geographically distributed network environments is preferred Experience with Microsoft Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office Suite products Experience with Cisco and/or Cisco Meraki network environments is desired, including routing and switching, wireless networking, firewalls, VLAN segmentation, site-to-site VPNs, DHCP/DNS integration, QoS, and network security.

Then Salary Range: $90,000 - $130,000 annually. Benefits list: Dental and Vision Insurance, Medical Insurance to Include HSA, FSA, and DFSA Plans, Life and AD&D coverage, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), 401(k) Plan with Company Matching Contributions, 160 Hours of Paid Time Off (PTO), 12 (Floating) Holidays, Educational Assistance, Highly Competitive Salary (maybe duplicate of pay). We'll include benefits. Now we need to decide sections. About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph describing role and ADNS. We'll put that as prose. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe the list of experience requirements (5+ years etc). Could combine with qualifications? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. The instruction: Use headings for those sections if posting has real specific content. We can split: Requirements: the mandatory experience (5+ years etc). Qualifications: education, clearance, certifications. Skills: technical skills (Cisco, Meraki, Windows, AD, etc). However there is overlap. We must preserve all info; we can distribute. Let's extract: Requirements (experience): - 5+ years of experience in DoD or other Government Unclassified and Classified Systems/Networks, Cisco Routing and Switching, Network Engineering, Network Testing, and Implementation Planning. - Experience designing, deploying, supporting, or managing enterprise LAN/WAN and SD-WAN environments is highly desired. - Experience supporting large, multi-site or geographically distributed network environments is preferred. - Experience with Microsoft Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office Suite products. - Experience with Cisco and/or Cisco Meraki network environments is desired, including routing and switching, wireless networking, firewalls, VLAN segmentation, site-to-site VPNs, DHCP/DNS integration, QoS, and network security. - Experience with Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange/Office 365, Windows Server environments, MPLS, and enterprise IT support is also desired. - Comparable enterprise networking technologies and platforms will be considered. - Ability to work well with other Engineering focus groups and personnel ranging from Junior to Chief Network, Systems, or Cyber Engineers. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills. - Ability to manage and prioritize tasks to ensure optimum productivity. - Ability to work with Network related hardware and software. - Ability to conduct research on Cisco or other related Network hardware components. - Ability to conduct testing and regression testing on Government facilities. - Knowledge of PC hardware architecture. - Strong leadership, interpersonal, and decision-making skills. - Ability to effectively communicate both orally and in writing, with managers, supervisors and peers. - Ability to work collaboratively, independently, and to take initiative. - Ability to quickly grasp and implement technical concepts. - Network Engineering experience with ADNS, CANES, or CaaS is preferred. - Must be a U.S. citizen. - Candidate Differentiators: Hands-on experience with network infrastructure deployments, including device staging, rack-and-stack installation, PoE configuration, ISP/circuit turn-up and validation, network testing, troubleshooting, and post-deployment support is highly desired. - Experience planning or executing network deployments across multiple geographically distributed locations is preferred. - Experience with Cisco Meraki MX security appliances, MS switches, MR wireless access points, or comparable Cisco enterprise networking equipment is beneficial but not required. Qualifications: - Education Requirements: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field of study. - 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. - Mandatory Certifications: DoD 8570 IAT Level II - Security+ (or equivalent) preferred and CCNA; CCNP is preferred. - Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), current Microsoft role-based certification, or comparable Microsoft systems administration experience is desired. Skills: Could be technical skills like Cisco routing/switching, Meraki, Windows, AD, Exchange, MPLS, etc. But many of those already in requirements. Perhaps we can combine skills with requirements? But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? The original has some repeated phrases (like ability to work collaboratively appears twice). We should preserve them as they appear, but we can deduplicate? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate repeated sentences. We see "Ability to work collaboratively, independently, and to take initiative" appears twice. We'll keep one. Also "Ability to effectively communicate both orally and in writing, with managers, supervisors and peers" appears maybe once? Actually appears twice? Let's check: first occurrence: "Ability to effectively communicate both orally and in writing, with managers, supervisors and peers". Later: "Excellent verbal and written communication skills". That's similar but not identical. We'll keep both as they are distinct. Now we need to decide sections. We'll produce:
