Network Engineer

As a Network Engineer, you will be responsible for demonstrating expertise in Cisco DNA Center, including onboarding, provisioning, and management of network devices such as routers, switches, wireless controllers, and access points. You will utilize Assurance features for network health monitoring, troubleshooting, and anomaly detection. Proficiency in Software-Defined Access (SDA) fabric design, implementation, and operations is essential, including border, control plane, and edge nodes. You will manage network policies, segmentation, and security integrations like Cisco ISE, as well as leverage Automation features for efficient network operations. In terms of implementation and operations, you will take the lead in planning, deploying, and configuring Cisco DNA Center solutions and related network infrastructure components. Developing and implementing standardized operating procedures (SOPs) and best practices for DNA Center management will be part of your responsibilities. You will also perform proactive monitoring, health checks, and capacity planning for the DNA Center appliance and managed network. When it comes to troubleshooting and resolution, you will act as an escalation point for complex network issues, utilizing DNA Center's analytics and troubleshooting tools. Root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents related to network performance, connectivity, and security will be within your scope of work. Collaboration with Cisco TAC and other vendors for advanced issue resolution is also expected. As part of mentorship and knowledge transfer, you will provide expert guidance, training, and knowledge transfer to junior network engineers and operations teams. Creating comprehensive documentation, runbooks, and playbooks related to DNA Center operations will be essential in ensuring the smooth functioning of the network infrastructure. A certification in CCNP with Cisco Enterprise Design (ENSLD) is preferable for this role, showcasing your commitment to professional development and expertise in the field.,
