Network Engineer - (LAN/WLAN – Cisco Enterprise)

Role & Responsibilities:
We’re seeking a Network Engineer with deep expertise in Cisco enterprise LAN and WLAN technologies to support a distributed campus and branch network environment. This role demands a balance of architectural thinking and hands-on execution — someone who can design with foresight, configure with precision, and troubleshoot under pressure.
You’ll be responsible for maintaining and evolving a multi-site Cisco network built on high-availability, security, and scalability principles. The right engineer has seen networks break, learned from it, and knows how to build them better.

•    Design, implement, and support Cisco LAN/WLAN infrastructure across campus and branch offices — including Catalyst switching, ISR/ASR routing, and Catalyst/Aironet/Meraki wireless solutions.
•    Perform RF design and wireless site surveys (Ekahau or similar), ensuring optimal WLAN coverage and performance.
•    Maintain and optimize Cisco DNA Center, ISE, and WLCs for centralized management and visibility.
•    Conduct capacity planning, performance tuning, and QoS optimization for real-time, and data services.
•    Implement and maintain network segmentation, access control, endpoint profiling and security policies in coordination with cybersecurity teams.
•    Implement security protocols and ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., WPA3, 802.1X).
•    Manage redundant WAN and SD-WAN links, ensuring optimal failover and traffic routing across sites.
•    Lead network refresh, expansion, and migration projects, from design to deployment.
•    Assist in capacity planning and future-proofing wireless infrastructure for scalability and emerging technologies (e.g., WiFi 6/6E/7, IoT).
•    Troubleshoot complex issues across Layer 1–7, providing deep-dive analysis and long-term remediation.
•    Develop and maintain accurate network documentation — diagrams, configurations, and operational procedures.
•    Participate in on-call rotation and provide Tier 2/3 support for escalated network issues.
•    Research, test, and recommend new LAN/WLAN technologies, network automation, and monitoring improvements.
