Top Secret (preferred) or Secret (required) Position Overview ISPA Technology is looking for a Network Automation Engineer to support a technically diverse environment spanning firewalls, NSX-T, packet transport, switching, IP address management, blueprint management, and network monitoring. This role is for the engineer who sees network infrastructure not as a collection of one-off devices, but as a system that should be automated, observable, repeatable, and intentionally designed. You will help create maintainable automation patterns for network configuration, deployment, sustainment, and change control—especially through Ansible and Git-centered workflows. What You Will Do Automate network provisioning, configuration updates, compliance checks, and sustainment tasks across switching, firewall, and transport environments. Use Ansible and Git-based workflows to standardize network changes and reduce configuration drift. Support operational engineering across NSX-T, switching infrastructure, IPAM processes, and network management / monitoring toolchains. Partner with systems and cyber teams to implement secure, supportable network baselines and recoverable change processes. Build documentation and reusable engineering patterns for deployment, configuration validation, rollback, and troubleshooting. Contribute to blueprint management and operational planning for evolving network services. Technical Environment Ansible and Git for network automation and configuration control Firewall, NSX-T, switching, and network transport concepts IPAM, configuration baselining, and network monitoring Automation scripting for network operations Network troubleshooting and change validation Documentation of network procedures and engineering artifacts Required Qualifications Experience with network engineering in enterprise, data center, or mission-support environments. Hands-on automation experience using Ansible or equivalent tooling for network configuration and sustainment. Strong understanding of switching, routing, firewall, or overlay networking concepts. Experience using version control for infrastructure or network change management. Ability to troubleshoot across device configuration, connectivity, and automation workflow issues. Preferred Qualifications Experience with NSX-T, IPAM, blueprint-driven infrastructure, or network monitoring platforms. Exposure to secure hardening standards and compliance-aware network operations. Familiarity with platform or cloud-adjacent network integration patterns. Why ISPA Technology Work on meaningful defense and mission-support engineering problems with experienced technical teams. Contribute across automation, cyber, platforms, networking, integration, and test—not just one narrow lane. Join a culture that values ownership, technical depth, curiosity, and practical execution. Live and work in Panama City Beach, Florida, with direct access to a growing technical mission hub. We are looking for engineers who combine technical depth with practical execution—people who can turn complexity into clarity, and design into dependable results.
