Design, Configuration, and Commissioning

• Architect and implement large-scale Wireless Plant Networks (WPN), integrating outdoor mesh access points, wireless LAN controllers, firewalls, industrial tablets, and network hardware.
• Lead system validation activities including factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and full commissioning of wireless networks in complex industrial settings.

Secure Network Integration

• Design secure wireless architectures that integrate into customers' Process Control Domains (PCDs) with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and cybersecurity best practices.
• Collaborate with OT and IT teams to harden wireless deployments against evolving security threats.

Enablement & Support

• At least 5 years in a senior-level Wireless or RF Engineering role with proven success in industrial and enterprise environments.

Technical Proficiency

• Deep knowledge of wireless protocols (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and RF propagation in high-interference environments.
• Experienced in LAN/WAN topologies and secure network infrastructure configuration (routers, switches, firewalls).
• Familiar with process control and industrial automation environments, particularly regarding wireless integration with OT systems.

Preferred Certifications

• CCNA / CCNP (Enterprise or Security)
• CWNA and CWDP or similar wireless certifications

Additional Qualities

• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Resourceful, self-directed, and comfortable working in dynamic, field-oriented environments.
