Senior Network Engineer

The Company

Faraday Future (FFAI) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

As Senior Network Engineer, you will own the design, deployment, and operation of Faraday Future’s enterprise and manufacturing network infrastructure across corporate offices, data centers, cloud environments, and the plant/production network. You will lead network architecture for highly available, secure, and scalable connectivity spanning campus LAN/WLAN, WAN/SD‑WAN, data center, and multi‑cloud (AWS/Azure) environments. Beyond traditional network engineering, you will champion AI‑driven network operations (AIOps) – applying automation, machine learning, and AI assistants to monitoring, anomaly detection, capacity planning, and self‑healing – to elevate the network from manually operated infrastructure into an intelligent, automated, and predictive platform that supports the company’s R&D, manufacturing, and business operations.

• Network Architecture & Design
  :
  Design and implement enterprise, data center, and manufacturing/OT network architectures spanning campus LAN/WLAN, WAN/SD‑WAN, routing, switching, and segmentation. Define standards for high availability, redundancy, and scalability across corporate offices, plants, data centers, and cloud. Lead network capacity planning, technology selection, and the long‑term network roadmap.
• Network Automation & Infrastructure as Code
  :
  Build network automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform, and device APIs (REST/NETCONF) to standardize provisioning, configuration management, and change deployment. Develop CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure‑as‑Code (IaC) workflows for network changes to eliminate manual, error‑prone operations. Create event‑driven and self‑service automation for routine network tasks.
• AI‑Driven Network Operations (AIOps):
  Apply AI/ML and AIOps to network monitoring, anomaly detection, predictive capacity planning, and automated root‑cause analysis. Leverage LLM‑based copilots and agents to accelerate troubleshooting, generate and review device configurations, parse logs, and automate runbooks. Build closed‑loop automation from AI‑driven insight to remediation with appropriate guardrails and human‑in‑the‑loop approval.
• Cloud & Hybrid Networking
  :
  Design and manage cloud and hybrid‑cloud networking across AWS and/or Azure, including VPC/VNet design, transit gateways/peering, VPN/Direct Connect/Express Route, load balancing, and DNS. Ensure secure, high‑performance connectivity between on‑premises, data center, and cloud workloads, and embed automation and observability into cloud network operations.
• Network Security & Zero Trust
  :
  Implement network security controls including next‑generation firewalls, NAC, micro‑segmentation, VPN, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Partner with security teams on threat detection, policy enforcement, and compliance. Use AI‑assisted tooling for security event correlation, automated response, and continuous posture assessment.
• Reliability, Monitoring & Observability
  :
  Deploy and operate the network monitoring and observability stack (streaming telemetry/SNMP, Net Flow, Grafana, ELK, network performance monitoring). Define SLAs/SLOs, alerting, on‑call, and incident response. Drive MTTR reduction through automation and AI‑augmented analytics, and continuously improve network reliability.
• Data Center & Manufacturing Connectivity
  :
  Support data center networking (spine‑leaf fabric, EVPN/VXLAN, high throughput), structured cabling standards, and plant/manufacturing connectivity (industrial Ethernet, OT/IT convergence, and wireless coverage). Ensure resilient, high‑availability connectivity for production‑critical and R&D systems.
• Compute Cluster & Storage Networking
