  • Review and approve engineering changes, implementation strategies, and rollback procedures.
  • Mentor less-experienced engineers through design reviews, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer.

What we're looking for

  • Active DoD Secret clearance.
  • Advanced experience engineering and supporting Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Avaya Aura, Oracle SBCs, and voice gateways (preferred).
  • Demonstrated expertise in SIP signaling, call routing, multi-vendor interoperability, and SBC-to-carrier interconnections (preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of SRTP, G.711/G.729 codecs, and DTMF signaling (preferred).
