  • Collaborate with project managers, architects, engineers, and client stakeholders to ensure successful delivery
  • Mentor junior consultants and contribute to technical best practices within the enterprise networking team
  • Support pre-sales efforts through solution reviews, level-of-effort input, and technical recommendations

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related experience
  • Minimum 4 years of hands-on experience designing and implementing enterprise network solutions
  • CCNP certification required, with strong focus on routing, switching, and BGP

  • CWNA certification required
  • Proven network design experience in enterprise environments
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise routing and switching platforms, including Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches, protocols, and architectures
  • Hands-on experience conducting wireless surveys and wireless design using Ekahau
