Network Engineer II - Project Based

This is a project-based employee role supporting the verification, validation, and readiness of our autonomous vehicle platforms. Development phases of this nature typically span through project completion (typically 2-4 years), though scope and duration are driven by business needs.

At Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), we are a global leader in vehicle automation solutions. Our technology enables safe, efficient, and scalable automation across industries such as agriculture, construction, landscaping, solar, and more. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, ASI continues to push the boundaries of autonomous technology.

Our mission is to help customers reach their potential through innovative robotic solutions. We operate according to our core values:
Safe, Simple, Transparent, Growth, Humble, and Attention to Detail.

We are hiring a Network Engineer II to support, maintain, and evolve ASI's network infrastructure across corporate environments and autonomous technology operations. This role ensures high availability, security, scalability, and performance of networking systems that support internal teams, customer deployments, and field validation efforts.

Engineers collaborate closely with IT, security, robotics, and systems teams. Scope expands by level from foundational operational support (Level I), to independent ownership of network systems and improvements (Level II), to enterprise architecture leadership and advanced security implementation (Level III). This role is based in DFW, TX and may require occasional support of field deployments or remote sites.
