  • OSI Layers 0-3 Focus: Deep dive into Physical Layer (signal propagation, modulation, BER), Data Link (MAC protocols, switching, VLANs), and Network Layer (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MPLS, IPv6) functionalities.
  • Performance Optimization: Analyze simulation results to identify bottlenecks, packet loss, latency issues, and capacity constraints, proposing "what-if" scenarios to improve production network design.
  • Architecture Modeling: Develop detailed network topologies, including LAN, WAN, and Wireless scenarios to validate architecture before hardware deployment.
  • Technical Reporting: Document simulation methodologies, scenarios, and results in detailed technical reports for stakeholder review.

Qualifications

TYPICAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Bachelors and fourteen (14) years or more of related experience; Masters and twelve (12) years or more experience ; PhD or JD and nine (9) years or more experience.

  • Programming Skills: Strong programming skills in C or C++ for model customization, scripting, and protocol modeling.
  • Network Design: Experience designing and testing complex WAN/LAN/WLAN network architecture.
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and debugging skills to trace data packets and analyze network behavior, familiar with traffic analysis tools like Wireshark.
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Riverbed SteelCentral AppResponse or NetPlanner.
  • Experience with radio frequency (RF) modeling or satellite communication simulations (Layer 0/1).
  • U.S. citizenship, and an active DOD Secret clearance, with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI.
