Job Description

We are seeking a Network Engineer to deploy and support network infrastructure for our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) platform, Synovate.

This is a hands‑on deployment role—you will travel to client manufacturing facilities to install, configure, and troubleshoot network infrastructure including routers, VPNs, Wi‑Fi, and IoT device connectivity. You will work alongside our senior network engineering team, providing critical backup for client implementations while building expertise in industrial network environments. When not deploying, you will contribute to infrastructure automation and internal tooling efforts.

• Deploy network infrastructure at client manufacturing sites including routers, switches, Wi‑Fi access points, and VPN configurations
• Configure and troubleshoot Wire Guard VPNs and Mikrotik industrial routers for secure client connectivity
• Conduct customer site surveys and address connectivity challenges in factory environments (interference, device placement, network reliability)
• Troubleshoot IoT device connectivity and ensure reliable communication between edge devices and the platform
• Serve as backup for the senior network engineer during deployments and escalations
• Monitor and maintain network health across deployed client sites
• Manage device inventory, firmware updates, and configuration changes
• Automate Mikrotik network changes where feasible
• Respond to network incidents and connectivity issues, performing remote diagnostics and on‑site remediation when needed
• Document network configurations, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting runbooks
• Contribute to Python‑based automation tools for network configuration and monitoring
• Support cloud infrastructure operations in Azure (VMs, networking, identity management)
• Assist with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure‑as‑code initiatives as the platform matures

• 3+ years hands‑on experience with routers, switches, firewalls, VLANs, and VPN technologies
• Experience deploying and troubleshooting Wi‑Fi networks, including site surveys and interference mitigation
