University of Maryland

The Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland is seeking a Lead Network Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and security of enterprise network infrastructure supporting both classified and unclassified research missions. This role is ideal for a senior-level network professional who wants to combine hands-on technical leadership with real national security impact. The Lead Network Engineer will own core network architecture across LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, VPNs, and next-generation firewall platforms, with a strong emphasis on security, resiliency, and compliance. You will lead complex technical initiatives, mentor engineers, and collaborate closely with cybersecurity, systems, and research teams to support federal sponsors and mission-critical operations. Experience with Zero Trust architectures and compliance frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, and FedRAMP is highly valued. Successful candidates typically bring 7+ years of progressive enterprise network engineering experience, including senior or lead responsibilities, along with deep knowledge of routing and switching technologies, OSPF, BGP, VLANs, MPLS, and modern threat-aware networking solutions. Strong communication skills are essential, as this role regularly interfaces with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This is an opportunity to help shape secure, scalable network environments that directly enable advanced intelligence and security research.
