Senior Network Engineer

About the role

You’ll help build and operate the networks that enable the design, testing, launch, and operation of high-powered satellites. You’ll be deeply hands-on – designing, deploying, and supporting resilient network infrastructure across production labs, factories, data centers, and cloud environments. You’ll work alongside Engineers pushing the limits of satellite capability, solving complex problems, and evolving our networks to keep pace with rapid iteration and mission-critical demands. As we scale, the systems you build and improve will directly enable faster development, more capable spacecraft, and reliable operations at every stage of the mission.

Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and operate enterprise and mission-critical network infrastructure across offices, factories, data centers, and cloud environments
• Provide hands-on support for day-to-day network operations, including troubleshooting connectivity, performance, and availability issues in production environments
• Configure, manage, and maintain firewalls and network security controls, including policy design, rule management, segmentation, and integration with security tooling
• Implement and support routing and switching infrastructure, including VLANs, BGP, OSPF, and high-availability network designs
• Support hybrid and cloud networking environments, including VPNs, site-to-site connectivity, and secure access to cloud resources
• Technology rollouts to support growing scale and complexity
• Monitor network performance and health, leveraging logging and observability tools to proactively identify and resolve issues
• Contribute to incident response efforts, performing root-cause analysis and implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence
• Maintain accurate network documentation, diagrams, and standard operating procedures
• Support vendor and service provider relationships, including circuit provisioning, troubleshooting, and performance management
• Promote operational best practices, including change management, configuration standards, and continuous improvement across the network environment

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Networking Architecture and Design, Network Implementation, and Network Test Automation
• Foundation in IT network and systems methodology (analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, and post-implementation support)
• In-depth knowledge of networking protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MPLS, TCP/IP)
• Experience with logical design models (L2/L3, VPC, VDC, Datacenter Zones, Spanning Tree, VRF, VTP, VLANs, & cabling)
• Working technical knowledge of network control protocols (QoS, PfR, PoE, NTP, DHCP), network management protocols (CDP, FTP, TFTP, SNMP), and security protocols (SSH, HTTPS, AAA, IPSec, TrustSec)
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNP, CCIE, ITIL Foundations v3, etc.)

Nice to Have

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in computer science or engineering
• Technical certifications (i.e., Network+, MCSE, Security+)
