The mission of the Lone Wolf program is to support, operate, and maintain the Distributed Continuity Integrated Network – Top Secret Enterprise Services (DCIN-TS ES) which is a DoD-provided, TS/SCI, integrated voice, video, and data global communications network that facilitates collaboration among senior leaders and key staff. The Lone Wolf program boasts a professional workforce comprised of specialists throughout the Information Technology lifecycle and who contribute to a positive work environment.   

The Lone Wolf Team is Mission Focused, Customer Oriented, Process Guided, and Solutions Driven. Candidates interested in joining the team must be critical thinkers, have a strong work ethic, and be able to work independently or as a member of a team in a dynamic environment that supports a critical and rewarding mission. We value candidates who are detail-oriented while also being able to think and react quickly to emerging and unique problem sets. To be successful, you must be able to rapidly adapt and learn how to operate the front and back end of new products and processes. The Team is expected to grow and is looking for people who can apply disciplined processes and provide imaginative solutions that enable the adoption of innovation and emerging technologies that create opportunities for transformative change. 

Responsibilities\: 
The duties and responsibilities of the Principal Network Engineer include, but are not limited to, the following\: 

Manage team of 10-15 Network Engineers in both operation and maintenance of existing enterprise as well as development and integration of emerging capabilities.  Manage multiple projects and initiatives using an industry accepted systems development life cycle model (i.e. INCOSE V, Waterfall, etc.).  Perform as senior-level contributor with knowledge and experience in local and wide area networking, communications, and related software/hardware within a multi-platform operating environment.  Provide support to a wide array of customers as part of a complex team of multiple contractors and government personnel.  Provide support for all information systems operations activities, including computer and communications operations, data control, LAN/WAN administration and operations support, operating systems programming, system security policy procedures, and operations.  Analyze and develop new hardware requirements and prepare specifications for hardware acquisitions.  Provide recommendations and conduct research for new technologies, future concepts, and analysis for implementation of deployable solutions (mobile and transportable) design integration, Interoperability of systems and services with mission partners, and Virtualization and Software Defined Networking (SDN) design integration.  Review site design packages from the Site Design team for technical accuracy.  Design and plan network communications systems.  Research and recommend to the Configuration Management Board new or replacement models of hardware or software to support the engineering roadmap.  Provide information to the life cycle team for hardware that is reaching end of life or end of service/support.  Coordinate with the Information Assurance Security Engineers to validate all designs against required security controls to maintain Authority to Operate of each enclave.  Create, review, and update technical documentation in support of integration projects.  Provide full implementation documentation and templates for all phases of deployment and sustainment of network equipment and services.  Provide engineering support to the Network Operations Center, and support implementation and sustainment teams as needed.  Identify and diagnose complex performance, security, and technical issues.
