Summary

Payrate: $66.00 - $68.00/hr.

Summary:
We are looking for a Network/System Lab Engineer (CW) to help bring up and maintain our network lab environment. You will be responsible for integrating new network equipment, troubleshooting issues, coordinating installations, and maintaining inventory. This role is critical to ensuring our software engineering teams have a reliable environment for testing and validation.
The Network/System Lab Engineer will support our team by bringing up and maintaining the network lab environment. Responsibilities include integrating and troubleshooting new network equipment, coordinating delivery and installation of new products, testing switch testbeds for software validation, and maintaining accurate lab inventory records. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with network devices, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to work in a fast-paced lab setting. Must be detail-oriented, organized, and able to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
4+ years of relevant experience
Familiarity with routers, switches, firewalls, and lab equipment
Understanding of IP assignment (DHCP, SLAAC, Static IP), VLANs, subnets
Experience with Cisco IOS, Juniper JUNOS
Knowledge of network management protocols (SSH, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS)
Understanding of break/fix concepts, console access, SCM modules
Basic knowledge of power supply (PSU/PDU/Voltage requirements)
Experience with inventory management systems
Excellent troubleshooting and communication skills
Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
Detail-oriented and organized

Preferred:

Experience in a network lab environment
Knowledge of lab safety procedures and best practices
Experience with routers, switches, firewalls Knowledge of network protocols (SSH, Telnet, HTTP/HTTPS.) Strong troubleshooting and communication skills. Experience with inventory management systems

Top 3 Must-Have Skills:

Hands-on network device bring-up + break/fix in a lab:

Rack/stack/cabling, console/OOB access, swapping optics/modules, basic power (PSU/PDU/voltage), and restoring service quickly.
This is the core of “bring up and maintain” + “troubleshooting issues”.

Strong L2/L3 fundamentals for lab environments:

VLANs, subnets, DHCP vs static, basic routing/switching, and being able to isolate whether an issue is physical, L2, L3, or config.
This directly maps to “IP assignment… VLANs, subnets” and “testing switch testbeds for validation”.

Multi-vendor network OS proficiency (Cisco IOS + Juniper JunOS + CentOS):

Confident CLI operation, reading configs/state, and executing safe changes/debug steps on both platforms.
Your JD explicitly calls these out; without them the engineer will be blocked day-1 on most tasks.

Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $66.00 - $68.00/hr. Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience and the benefits package you select. Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages. Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, 10 paid days off, 401(k) plan participation, commuter benefits and life and disability insurance.
