Position Overview

We are seeking a hands‑on Network Engineer to support and enhance a hybrid network environment (on‑prem + cloud) while playing a key role in upcoming infrastructure projects, including a large‑scale new facility buildout.

This role is ideal for someone who is technically strong, curious, and eager to grow, with the opportunity to contribute to network modernization, security improvements, and new site implementation.

• Sonic Wall (current environment)
• Experience with policy management, segmentation, and security controls is essential

• Opportunity to improve and reorganize an environment that is stable but not fully optimized
• Hands‑on role focused on implementation, improvements, and practical execution

• Involvement in designing and implementing network infrastructure for a large‑scale warehouse/manufacturing site
• Likely includes Palo Alto deployment, wireless, switching decisions, and full network setup

• Experience with IT vs OT segmentation and micro‑segmentation strongly preferred
• Environment already partially built, but requires ongoing maintenance and refinement

• Support and enhance enterprise network infrastructure across on‑prem and cloud environments
• Implement and manage firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Sonic Wall)
• Contribute to network design and deployment for new and existing sites
• Perform network optimization, reorganization, and performance improvements
• Support network segmentation initiatives, especially across IT and OT environments
• Troubleshoot issues across LAN/WAN/cloud environments
• Collaborate with Dev Ops and infrastructure teams on cloud networking and connectivity
• Participate in infrastructure improvements and future‑state planning

• Exposure to AI‑driven tools or automation in networking
• SD‑WAN (lower priority)

• 5–10 years of network engineering experience
• Strong hands‑on experience with:
• Palo Alto and/or Sonic Wall firewalls
• Experience with hybrid networking environments (on‑prem + cloud)
• Solid understanding of:
• Routing, switching, and core network infrastructure
• Ability to implement and improve network environments, not just maintain them
• Strong troubleshooting skills across network layers

• Experience with AWS (preferred) and/or Azure networking
• Exposure to manufacturing or OT environments
• Experience with network segmentation / micro‑segmentation
• Background in mid‑size to enterprise environments
