This role is critical for bridging the gap between high-level network architecture and tactical execution in the field. The engineer will configure, verify, and test newly fielded equipment, ensuring it aligns with the broader architectural intent of a resilient and diverse network. While focused on hands-on implementation, the candidate must understand the principles of advanced network design, including the integration of varied transport paths like satellite, cellular, and terrestrial links. This position provides systems engineering oversight and direct support to units, identifying and resolving issues to maintain the integrity of our tactical communications infrastructure. ## Key Responsibilities - System Configuration and Verification: Configure, test, and validate network devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, and voice-over-IP systems, ensuring they are implemented in accordance with overarching architectural designs. - Tier-1/2 Troubleshooting: Serve as the first point of contact for network issues, performing diagnostics, identifying problems, and recommending resolutions for all PM-delivered systems. Escalate complex issues to senior engineers as needed. - Documentation and Reporting: Manage and document system configurations, trouble incidents, and test procedures. Report results to functional managers to inform ongoing architectural and engineering efforts. - Field Support: Provide direct, hands-on support to units on major Army installations or in forward areas of operation, assisting with the setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of WIN-T equipment. - Integration Support: Coordinate with program System Engineering leads to address integration challenges and support the implementation of new requirements, ensuring tactical systems mesh with the enterprise network. - Architectural Awareness: Maintain a working knowledge of the high-level network architecture, including the use of diverse routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP) and transport mediums (e.g., SATCOM, 5G, fiber) to better inform tactical-level decisions and troubleshooting. Required Qualifications & Skills - Security Clearance: Must have an active Secret clearance. - Education/Experience: - A degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a similar science equivalent. - OR 4+ years of relevant experience in configuring and/or maintaining tactical network equipment (e.g., WIN-T). - Core Knowledge: - Fundamental understanding of Systems Engineering processes and methodologies. - Knowledge of WIN-T systems, including Cisco routers, switches, ASA firewalls, CallManager, and IP voice networks. - Knowledge of RF including SATCOM and Terrestrial waveforms - Familiarity with foundational networking principles and the OSI model. Desired Qualifications & Skills - An understanding of architectural-level networking, including the concepts behind using eBGP/iBGP and varied transport links (LEO/GEO satellite, 5G, terrestrial radio). - Knowledge of network services such as DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, and SharePoint. - Specialized experience gained as an engineer in industry or through service in an active, reserve, or National Guard unit. - Basic understanding of the acquisition lifecycle (Systems Planning, Research, Development, and Engineering [SPRDE]). ## About Aroxx Systems ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Aroxx Systems is a premier provider of Information Technology consulting services specializing in System Engineering within the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN), both Tactical and Enterprise. - **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped) – Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) - **Headquarters**: Grovetown, Georgia, United States - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Joseph Galimi (President) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: IT Services and IT Consulting, Cybersecurity, Defense Contracting - **Target customers**: U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), warfighters, and federal agencies (B2G) - **Mission or purpose statement**: To develop a technical framework that consistently delivers secure, resilient, and extensible capabilities to the warfighter. ## Products & Services For each major offering: - **System Engineering (SE)**: Full lifecycle engineering for DODIN, including architecture, integration, and field support. - **Tactical Network Engineering**: Configuration, testing, and troubleshooting of Army backbone communication systems (WIN-T, Cisco routers/switches, firewalls, VoIP). - **SATCOM Engineering**: Integration of satellite and terrestrial transport paths (LEO/GEO, 5G, cellular) for resilient tactical networks. - **Field Service Engineering**: Hands-on support at major Army installations or forward areas, including setup and maintenance of PM-delivered systems. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company) - **Key Metric**: Total headcount of 17 employees (as of mid-2026), with -5.3% YoY decline (LinkedIn estimate) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: None publicly disclosed; primarily a federal contractor with SAM registration - **Growth Signals**: Rebranded from DEI Technologies to Aroxx Systems in March 2026; actively hiring for multiple engineering roles (Tactical Network Engineer, Field Service Engineer); LinkedIn followers up 42.9% YoY (160 followers) ## Competitive Advantages - Deep specialization in DoD tactical networks, especially WIN-T and SATCOM, with expertise in both enterprise architecture and field implementation. - Service-Disabled Veteran Owned status (SDVOSB) provides preferential contracting opportunities. - Small, agile team (17 employees) allows for close collaboration and rapid response to client needs. - Proven track record of hiring talent from major defense primes (Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Leidos) and military backgrounds. ## Strategic Focus - Continue expanding DoD system engineering and network integration services, particularly in support of the Army’s tactical communication modernization. - Leverage the new brand identity (Aroxx Systems) to differentiate from political associations of the former name and attract new contracts. - Maintain a lean, high-touch model while scaling headcount through targeted hiring of cleared engineers. ## Why Work Here - **Mission-driven**: Directly support the warfighter with secure, resilient communication capabilities – work that has tangible national security impact. - **Hybrid work**: Roles are hybrid/federal contracting, with locations in Colorado Springs, CO, and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, as well as potential field assignments. - **Competitive compensation**: Salary range for Tactical Network Engineer listed up to $150,000/year. - **Small-team culture**: 17 employees, flat hierarchy, and close-knit environment where contributions are visible. - **Veteran-friendly**: Founded and led by a veteran, with many alumni from the U.S. Army; strong support for military talent transitioning to civilian roles. ## Sources 1.
