Responsibilities:

The Network Engineer functions in a high-level position with regard to major systems installations and requirements. Analyzes the system needs for especially large and complex litigation support requirements, and recommends overall hardware, software, and telecommunications solutions, taking into account the latest proven technologies, all appropriate Civil Rights Division policies, regulations, and requirements, as well as end user needs, where the end users may range from attorneys and paralegals accessing a database over a LAN, or authorized users connecting remotely via a TCP/IP connection into a DOJ computer resource or a groupware/workflow system, to members of the public accessing via the internet. Identifies appropriate technologies, designs and implements overall system solutions, including procuring hardware, software, and communications devices, installing and integrating them, testing and troubleshooting, developing and delivering user training. Develops comprehensive system configuration documentation and documents procedures. Establishes and enforces appropriate system and data security measures, including firewalls and disaster recovery systems. Designs protocols for overall system operation and maintenance. Directs and manages the overall effort of a contractor team in accomplishing these tasks.

Employees are expected to research, design, and integrate innovative technical solutions to litigation support needs, not simply install proven configurations. Coordinates with the DOJ COR, Government Case Managers, and IT staff in performing all of these functions, as well as with Contractor staff at all appropriate levels. Reports on progress and provides system documentation.
