Support network integration, separation, and expansion activities associated with acquisitions, divestitures, and new facility deployments.
Analyze and improve network performance across LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, wireless, and cloud environments.
Develop network roadmaps and long-term architectural strategies that align technology investments with business objectives.
Lead complex root-cause analyses and drive long-term corrective actions.
Lead the adoption of network automation and infrastructure-as-code practices using technologies such as Python, Ansible, Terraform, and API-driven integrations.
Drive major network initiatives including modernization, cloud migrations, refresh programs, and architectural redesigns.
Maintain high-quality documentation, architecture diagrams, and technical standards.

Experience:

Bachelor's degree in information technology, or related field.
5+ years of network engineering experience, including experience leading complex architectural initiatives and mentoring engineers.
Proficiency in MPLS, BGP/MP-BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, EVPN, and large-scale routing architectures.
Strong knowledge of network security principles and technologies, including Palo Alto firewalls, segmentation, VPNs, Cisco ISE, zero-trust, and SASE architectures.
Experience designing and supporting OT environments and familiarity with automation technologies such as Python, Ansible, or Terraform is strongly preferred.
Experience with Cisco Catalyst, Cisco/Meraki wireless, and Versa SD-WAN platforms.
Experience designing and supporting Azure network connectivity (ExpressRoute, VNETs, NSGs, DNS).
