As a Network Engineer on our FEMA ITSA 3.0 program, you will evaluate the technical foundation that enables mission-critical emergency management operations-assessing cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments to identify modernization opportunities that reduce risk, improve performance, and enhance mission delivery.\nYou'll dive deep into FEMA's hosting architectures, network topologies, and connectivity patterns to understand how infrastructure choices impact scalability, resiliency, security, and operational efficiency. Your technical assessments will inform strategic decisions on cloud migration, network modernization, disaster recovery enhancement, and infrastructure consolidation-ensuring FEMA's technology foundation can support both steady-state operations and surge response during national emergencies. This is an opportunity to apply your infrastructure expertise to one of the federal government's most critical missions, helping shape the technical architecture that supports disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation nationwide.\nResponsibilities:\nHosting Environment & Architecture Assessment:\nEvaluate hosting models across the portfolio: cloud (AWS, Azure, hybrid-cloud), on-premises data centers, and colocation environments\nAssess scalability characteristics and capacity headroom for surge operations during disaster response\nAnalyze availability architectures, redundancy configurations, and resiliency patterns\nEvaluate environment complexity and operational support models; recommend simplification and standardization opportunities\nDocument hosting infrastructure dependencies and technical debt that constrains modernization\nNetwork Topology & Connectivity Analysis:\nInventory and document network topologies including LAN/WAN architectures, routing protocols, and network segmentation strategies\nAssess VPN implementations, firewall configurations, proxy architectures, and perimeter security controls\nEvaluate load balancing strategies, traffic flow patterns, and network performance optimization\nAnalyze connectivity between FEMA headquarters, regional offices, field operations, and external partner systems\nIdentify network bottlenecks, latency issues, and bandwidth constraints affecting mission performance\nPerformance, Scalability & Resiliency Evaluation:\nAssess system scalability under both steady-state and disaster surge conditions\nIdentify performance bottlenecks that degrade user experience or limit operational capacity\nEvaluate availability targets and actual uptime performance against mission requirements\nAnalyze resiliency patterns and single points of failure that pose operational risk\nDocument latency issues, throughput constraints, and capacity planning gaps\nSecurity Architecture & Access Control Analysis:\nContribute to Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement assessments\nSupport privileged access architecture reviews and least-privilege implementation analysis\nAssess logging and monitoring maturity from an infrastructure and network perspective\nEvaluate security segmentation, micro-segmentation opportunities, and zero-trust architecture readiness\nDocument security controls, network security posture, and vulnerability remediation status\nQualifications:\nRequired:\nBachelor's degree and 7+ years of network and infrastructure engineering experience across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments\nHands-on technical expertise with routing and switching protocols, firewall architectures, VPN technologies, and load balancing strategies\nDemonstrated experience with cloud networking in AWS and/or Azure environments including VPC/VNet design, transit gateways, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, and cloud-native networking services\nProven ability evaluating continuity of operations, disaster recovery architectures, and performance tuning in mission-critical federal or enterprise environments\nStrong analytical skills with the ability to identify infrastructure risks, performance bottlenecks, and modernization opportunities\nExcellent technical documentation and diagramming skills; ability to communicate complex architectures clearly\nExperience validating technical configurations and collaborating with engineering and operations teams\nAbility to obtain DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) clearance\nDesired:\nFamiliarity with DHS enterprise network standards, Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) requirements, and EINSTEIN program\nExperience with zero-trust architecture principles, software-defined networking (SDN), and network security frameworks\nKnowledge of NIST cybersecurity frameworks (SP 800-53, 800-207 Zero Trust) as applied to network architecture\nBackground documenting complex technical environments for executive audiences and non-technical stakeholders\nExperience supporting federal IT modernization programs, cloud migration assessments, or infrastructure rationalization initiatives\nAWS or Azure networking certifications (AWS Certified Advanced Networking, Azure Network Engineer Associate)\nCisco, Juniper, or other vendor networking certifications (CCNP, JNCIP, or equivalent)\nFamiliarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation, and DevSecOps practices\nUnderstanding of federal compliance requirements (FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST RMF) as they relate to infrastructure and \n-What You Can Expect:\nA culture of integrity.\nAt CACI, we place character and innovation at the center of everything we do.
