Responsibilities include routing, switching, firewall infrastructure, segmentation, high availability, disaster recovery, security hardening, stakeholder requirements gathering, technical design documentation, and ATO support. The role requires extensive Cisco networking, next-generation firewall, DISA STIG, and DoD security experience, plus up to 35% travel.

Design, build, and maintain Playwright-based end-to-end automation frameworks for web applications. Write production-quality TypeScript and JavaScript, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, develop API and testing utilities, troubleshoot defects and flaky tests, and promote quality practices across engineering teams. The role also involves mentoring engineers, evaluating testing tools, and collaborating with developers, product managers, and DevOps.

Develop algorithms and production services for Space Domain Awareness, including object detection, tracking, characterization, image processing, modeling, simulation, and sensor analysis. Build Python and Java/Spring Boot solutions, containerize them with Docker, deploy to Kubernetes, and participate in testing, CI/CD, and monitoring. Collaborate with domain experts, software engineers, and customers to validate results and communicate technical findings.

Supports Navy equipment readiness and integration by analyzing data from DoD systems, including Advana and Jupiter. Builds reports, dashboards, datasets, visualizations, and decision-support products; performs data cleanup, modeling, statistical, financial, inventory, cost, and resource analyses. Contributes to readiness policy recommendations, software requirements, procurement planning, budget evaluations, and Table of Allowance studies. The role is onsite in Little Creek, Virginia, and requires U.S. citizenship and an active Secret clearance.

Design, develop, and maintain Playwright-based end-to-end automation for complex web applications. Build scalable test frameworks, shared libraries, API harnesses, and testing tools using TypeScript and JavaScript.
