Restoration Lead - Senior

Roles/Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate the restoration of network, wireless, RF, and communications infrastructure supporting U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) test centers and operational testing environments.
• Direct technical restoration activities following network outages, communications disruptions, equipment failures, or infrastructure damage to minimize mission impact and restore operational capabilities.
• Develop, implement, and maintain network restoration procedures, incident response workflows, escalation processes, and recovery plans for geographically dispersed test environments.
• Lead troubleshooting and fault isolation activities involving routers, switches, wireless systems, RF communications equipment, fiber-optic connectivity, and associated network infrastructure.
• Coordinate with network engineers, cybersecurity personnel, field technicians, installation teams, and government stakeholders to diagnose service interruptions and implement effective recovery solutions.
• Oversee the repair, replacement, reconfiguration, and validation of affected communications equipment to restore network availability and performance.
• Support the restoration of tactical and expeditionary RF communications capabilities used in field testing and operational environments.
• Evaluate network redundancy, failover capabilities, backup configurations, and restoration procedures to improve infrastructure resilience and continuity of operations.
• Conduct or oversee post-restoration testing to validate connectivity, system performance, interoperability, and compliance with applicable technical and cybersecurity requirements.
• Document incidents, root-cause findings, corrective actions, restoration timelines, and recommendations to prevent recurring network or communications failures.
• Coordinate restoration priorities, resource allocation, equipment availability, and field support activities based on mission requirements and operational impact.
• Provide senior-level technical guidance and leadership to restoration engineers, technicians, and other personnel supporting TENM network sustainment and recovery operations.

Required Skills and Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in network engineering, telecommunications, wireless communications, systems administration, network restoration, or related technical operations.
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting and restoring complex network or communications systems in enterprise, government, military, or mission-critical environments.
• Experience leading technical teams during network outages, service disruptions, equipment failures, or infrastructure recovery activities.
• Experience supporting geographically distributed networks, wireless systems, or operational communications environments.
• CompTIA Security+ Continuing Education (CE), or another qualification appropriate to the assigned DoD 8140 cyber work role and proficiency level.
• Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), CompTIA Network+, or an equivalent networking credential.
• Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) or another relevant CWNP wireless certification, or equivalent demonstrated RF engineering experience.
• Strong understanding of network and communications systems, including routing, switching, TCP/IP, VLANs, wireless connectivity, and network infrastructure troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of RF communications fundamentals, including antenna systems, signal propagation, interference, wireless coverage, and connectivity troubleshooting.
• Experience diagnosing and resolving complex network outages, degraded service, connectivity failures, and communications equipment malfunctions.
• Familiarity with network monitoring, fault management, incident escalation, root-cause analysis, and restoration procedures.
• Experience restoring or reconfiguring routers, switches, wireless access points, RF communications equipment, and associated network components.
• Understanding of network redundancy, failover mechanisms, system availability, and continuity-of-operations principles.
• Working knowledge of operating systems, network services, system configurations, and supporting telecommunications infrastructure.
• Familiarity with DoD cybersecurity practices, system hardening, and secure network operations.
• Ability to coordinate technical restoration efforts, establish recovery priorities, and communicate incident status to engineering teams and government stakeholders.
• Ability to develop technical restoration documentation, incident reports, recovery plans, and corrective action recommendations.
