Systems/Network Engineer

As a Systems/Network Engineer at SEMCON, you'll be responsible for testing and supporting the FAA's Voice Switch & Recorder (VS&R) systems. You'll engage with a collaborative team, utilizing your skills in software automation tools and Linux environments to perform core functions. You'll also tackle system requirements analysis and work on security practices, helping maintain adherence to FAA stakeholder processes.

To qualify for the Systems/Network Engineer position at SEMCON, candidates should possess a bachelor's degree in a related field and 6-8 years of relevant experience. Ideal candidates will have experience with automation tools, Linux, system security, and preferably, an understanding of FAA processes. Excellent communication skills are also essential for this collaborative role.

Preferred skills for the Systems/Network Engineer role at SEMCON include experience with environmental testing, network design, VoIP systems, and familiarity with test equipment such as oscilloscopes and network analyzers. Additionally, experience in protocol design and testing tools will be highly beneficial, drawing from both technical acumen and hands-on involvement in projects.

Absolutely! SEMCON values career growth and offers a dynamic work environment where Systems/Network Engineers can expand their knowledge and skills. You'll have opportunities to learn about FAA processes and participate in technical interchange meetings, allowing you to network and grow within the industry.

At SEMCON, the work environment is collaborative and supportive. As a Systems/Network Engineer, you'll work closely with a diverse team in a proactive and engaging atmosphere that fosters rich interactions and teamwork, ensuring that everyone contributes to our shared objectives effectively.

My experience with Linux includes troubleshooting, scripting, and package configuration, which are essential for automating processes and maintaining systems. I believe my ability to navigate the terminal and utilize Linux for system administration will enable me to efficiently manage and enhance the FAA's VS&R systems.

I approach testing by creating thorough validation plans that align with established security protocols. I ensure that my tests not only address hardening but also involve penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities, all of which are crucial for safeguarding sensitive FAA systems.

I have hands-on experience with VoIP systems, including SIP and RTP protocols, which are critical for ATC communication. My familiarity with ED-137 ensures I can contribute effectively to the development and testing processes related to voice communications at SEMCON.

I prioritize tasks by assessing deadlines, project impacts, and resource availability. By using task management techniques and clear communication with my team, I ensure that critical milestones are met without compromising quality.

Communication is vital in my role, as it fosters collaboration among diverse teams. Whether I’m conveying technical requirements or sharing insights during meetings, effective communication ensures that everyone is aligned towards a common goal, particularly in a dynamic environment like SEMCON.

In a previous project, I encountered issues with software integration in systems deployment. I resolved it by systematically analyzing logs, collaborating with the development team, and implementing a staged rollout, which ultimately improved system stability.

I stay current by participating in webinars, subscribing to industry journals, and engaging with online courses and communities focused on systems and network engineering. Continuous learning is paramount to ensure I can implement best practices in my role at SEMCON.

My experience with automation tools like Ansible and Jenkins has streamlined workflows significantly. Automation is crucial because it enhances efficiency, reduces human error, and frees up time for more strategic engineering tasks.

I use a structured approach, starting with comprehensive documentation of the requirements. I analyze them using logical reasoning, engaging with stakeholders for feedback, and conducting regular review meetings to ensure that all requirements are being addressed accurately.

I would address conflicts by facilitating open discussions, encouraging team members to express their viewpoints, and seeking common ground. By focusing on solutions and maintaining a respectful atmosphere, I believe we can resolve differences constructively and enhance team dynamics.
