Description du poste

Network Systems Engineer II - Lunar

KSAT Inc.

7600 E Eastman Ave, Suite 415 Denver, Colorado 80231 ksat.no

Introduction

With headquarters in Tromsø, Norway, Kongsberg Satellite Services AS (KSAT) supplies ground station services for satellite communications. KSAT is the world’s largest supplier of telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) and data acquisition services for non-geostationary satellites.

Founded in 1968, KSAT has grown to over 600 employees with about 50% of KSAT’s annual revenue coming from the US. The wholly owned subsidiary KSAT Inc. (aka. KSAT USA) is located in Denver, Colorado and is rapidly growing in response to strong US Government and industry demand for commercial ground segment services. As a result of KSAT’s continued growth in the US, more critical talent is needed.

Summary of Position

KSAT USA is seeking an experienced network engineer to maintain design, development, deployment, and testing of our networks for engineering, administrative, and operational needs. This includes day-to-day maintenance of our corporate networks based in Norway, and separate networks designated for our US-based customers.

Critical skills will include deployment of worldwide network systems, network cyber security, isolation and segregation of networks, and optimization of network utilization. Responsibilities will include supporting three primary sets of users at KSAT: administrative, engineering, and operational. And, because KSAT is an international company with US-based customers, these users may be further subdivided into US-only and international access. Additionally, applying virtual network functions to cloud (private and public) based systems is also an increasingly important skill for the modernization of existing ground sites.

This position will report to Randy Wright, US Network Lead.

The role will be local to the Denver region with flexible teleworking opportunities. Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate.

Joining the KSAT Team means:

• Opportunity to work across the commercial, civil, and defense space industry
• Flexible work environment
• Experience in an international company with a global footprint and opportunities to work across cultures
• Engaging team: inspire small, dedicated, “A-class” teammates. Being part of a nimble and passionate “start-up” team, with the financial security and product technology readiness level of an established company – the best of both worlds

Compensation

The On-Target base salary range is $95K-$125K annually.

Benefits Package Highlights:

• Four weeks of PTO annually
• $0 individual medical insurance with generous coverage
• Flexible working environment
• Fitness expense reimbursement program
• Tuition reimbursement program
• International travel opportunities

Details of the Role

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities:

• Maintenance of current network infrastructure of the Denver office. This will include segregated networks to service US-based and international users.
• Active monitoring and cybersecurity measures to prevent and detect intrusion attempts, and preparations to mitigate damage in the event of any compromise.
• Support the local and international engineering teams to develop solutions to interconnect ground equipment and provide worldwide customer support to test events and network connectivity to operational satellite communication systems.
• Work with the international network engineering team to ensure that KSAT standards are met, and that those standards are strengthened to match evolving threats.

Requirements

US Citizenship
Eligibility to maintain a US SECRET Clearance

Qualifications and Skills

• Minimum 5-years of demonstrated engineering experience supporting network design and management.
• Demonstrated experience with the engineering process for complex systems.
• Demonstrated experience with network technology, including a mastery of the OSI model, LAN/WAN systems, routers and switches, VLAN and subnet segmentation.
• Familiarity with advanced systems and protocols such as VPN, SDWAN, Cisco Secure FMC, as well as advanced routing.
• Experience with network administration on Linux and Windows systems as well as hands-on configuration of routers, switches, and firewalls from a variety of vendors.
• Experience with various secure systems via jump-hosts.
• Experience in protecting US-DoD information, especially requirements for protecting CUI information
• Preferred: Some programming skills (Python) and familiarity with Ansible, AWX, Gitlab, Netbox, and Visio/draw.io for documentation
• Strongly Preferred: Familiarity with satellite ground systems design and remote site installation (antennas, modems, timing, amplifiers, etc…)

Travel

• Travel is estimated at 15%
• Travel will be necessary to Tromsø, Norway 1-2 times per year
• Travel may be necessary to remote ground sites in the United States
