What this job asks for AI summary
A Senior Network Architect/Engineer role supporting a DOT Transportation Safety Management and Operations (TSMO) technology program. The position centers on designing, implementing, and securing converged IT and OT network infrastructures for transportation systems — including traffic management centers and Intelligent Transportation Systems — while enforcing cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST CSF and ISA/IEC 62443. Candidates need deep experience across both IT and OT networking protocols, IT/OT convergence, and transportation-sector network requirements.

Why we read it this way (6)
The mandatory experience figures are stated in months: 72 months (~6 years) for foundational IT/OT networking is used as the overall years minimum. Individual month-based requirements are mapped to the years demanded on the relevant skills where a specific technology is named.
The certification requirement is a hard gate but is structured as 'at least one of' a list: CCNA is listed as the primary name with CCNP, CCIE, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, and CISSP as alternatives.
OT protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5, Profinet, EtherNet/IP) are listed in the implementation/configuration section of the job duties rather than a formal qualifications block, but the 60-month OT experience requirement in the qualifications section firmly gates on OT protocol knowledge, so these are treated as required.
Advanced education is noted as a possible attribute of the Senior band but is explicitly framed as optional ('May have an advanced education'), so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation, employment type, or security clearance information is provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): zero-trust architecture.
