• Proven proficiency with enterprise routing protocols (e.g., BGP, EIGRP, OSPF) and advanced switching concepts (e.g., spanning tree, trunking, SVI, VRRP, VPC, EtherChannel).


• Experience configuring and supporting Cisco routers, Cisco Catalyst switches, and IOS-based systems within hierarchical network architectures.


• Practical experience supporting enterprise firewall platforms; experience with Cisco Firepower and/or Palo Alto firewalls preferred.


• Experience with wireless LAN controllers and network management tools such as Cisco Catalyst Center and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE).


• Experience working within formal change management environments and maintaining accurate technical documentation.


• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred.


• Demonstrated analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate technical information clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Cisco Firepower and Palo Alto firewall platforms in enterprise environments.


• Cisco SD-Access or other software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.


• Hybrid or cloud-integrated networking environments - e.g., Azure, AWS, or similar platforms.
