Overview

We are looking for a Network Engineer with strong foundational networking knowledge (CCNA level) and hands-on experience in building and testing network labs.
The ideal candidate should have experience in configuring and troubleshooting various network technologies, moderate Linux administration skills, and a solid understanding of VPN/IPSec.
Familiarity with scripting and cellular modem configurations will be an added advantage.

This role also involves direct customer engagement, including solution implementation, design discussions, documentation, knowledge transfer, and post-deployment support.

Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical (Must Have)

• Design, configure, and maintain lab environments for testing different network scenarios (VLANs, trunking, firewalling, VRRP, port channels, DHCP, static & dynamic routing, QoS/traffic shaping, and dynamic DNS).
• Implement and troubleshoot VPN technologies such as IPSec, DMVPN, site-to-site, and remote access VPNs.
• Configure and manage SD-WAN solutions — including policies, routing, and performance monitoring.
• Perform networking-related tasks on Linux systems, including monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Use tools like tcpdump, SSH, Telnet, and traceroute for diagnostics and network analysis.
• Support testing and validation of network products and solutions before deployment.
• Create and maintain network documentation (topologies, configurations, and test cases).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for product testing and performance validation.

Customer-Facing Implementation

• Engage with customers to understand requirements and propose suitable network designs.
• Create and present design diagrams and deployment plans showing product integration at customer sites.
• Conduct knowledge transfer (KT) sessions for customer teams post-deployment.
• Provide technical support after implementation to ensure smooth operations.

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities.
• Capable of working independently or in a team.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills.
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail.

Good to Have

• Experience with shell scripting for automation.
• Knowledge of cellular networking, modems, and AT commands.
• Familiarity with Network Monitoring & Management Systems (NMS) such as SolarWinds, ManageEngine, PRTG, and Syslog servers.
• Exposure to advanced firewalling, load balancing, or multi-vendor WAN optimization.

Skillset Requirements

• CCNA/CCNP-level understanding of networking concepts and protocols.
• Intermediate Linux administration knowledge (tools, services, troubleshooting).
• Hands-on experience with SD-WAN, routing, switching, VLANs, firewall basics, and DMVPN.
• Experience in setting up and managing network labs for feature testing.
• Strong understanding of VPNs (IPSec, DMVPN) and secure connectivity.
• Professional interaction with customers, including design documentation and on-site implementations.
