Jobs at Sigma Defense

Network Engineer III supporting testing of communications between a Surrogate MQ-25 Air Vehicle and Ground Control Station, including narrowband and wideband satellite and line-of-sight links for C4I operational network evaluation. The role requires 4+ years of DoD/government network engineering experience, demonstrated proficiency in Layer 2/3 protocols (BGP, DMVPN, IPSec, EIGRP, OSPF, VRRP, STP), Cisco routing and switching, Linux system administration, and network automation tools (Ansible, Python). Responsibilities include designing and testing multi-vendor network systems, writing test plans and procedures, performing Wireshark traffic analysis, configuring network devices (routers, switches, firewalls, INEs), applying DISA STIGs, and generating RMF artifacts. A Bachelor's degree in Network Engineering or related field and CCNA certification are required; CCNP or CCIE preferred.

Sigma Defense seeks Network Engineers (I, II, or III) to configure, install, and maintain DoD network equipment across Navy Enterprise architecture, including switching, routing, firewalls, wireless, and VoIP systems. Candidates will design and troubleshoot VLANs, routing protocols, IP addressing, and WAN connectivity while applying network STIGs and integrating external services. The role requires hands-on expertise with Cisco ISE, Palo Alto, next-gen firewalls, and deployment automation tools (Ansible, Python, PowerShell), scaling from 0–2 years (Level I) through 7+ years (Level III), with Security+ or CISSP certification mandatory.

The Network Engineer IV delivers advanced carrier training tactical system network engineering, integration, and sustainment for Navy afloat C4ISR operations within the CANES architecture. The role maintains, configures, and troubleshoots ruggedized network hardware and software baselines; provides direct technical support to shipboard ITs during Fleet training evolutions and underway testing; and ensures system readiness, cybersecurity compliance, and secure tactical data transport. The engineer supports RMF artifacts, STIG application, vulnerability remediation, and Zero Trust hardening across Fleet units. 3–5 years of network engineering experience, CCNA/CCNP certification, DoD 8570 IAT Level II (Security+), and an active Secret clearance are required.
