The IoT Network Design Engineer will be responsible for evaluating, designing, and implementing enterprise-scale Campus/Branch networks for Secure IoT projects. This role requires expertise in Cisco networking technologies, IoT security, and advanced network design principles, with a strong emphasis on scalability and availability for IoT environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and design network topologies and architectures for secure IoT deployments, including new and next-generation campus/branch networks.
- Create and manage BoMs for network components.
- Develop and maintain Visio diagrams, configuration templates, IP addressing schemes, and low-level design documents (LLD) that include routing/switching details, migration steps, and bandwidth analysis.
- Implement and support BGP-EVPN/VXLAN, Cisco SD Access, and other overlay technologies in core and branch office designs.
- Focus on network security concepts and multi-tier security architectures, specifically in IoT contexts. Proficiency in endpoint profiling (ISE, Armis, Forescout) is a plus.
- Design with a focus on scalability and availability of IoT networks.
- Maintain and apply knowledge of Cisco certifications (CCNP, CCIE) and other relevant training to network design and implementation.
Qualifications
- Cisco CCIE certification, CCNP certification (CCDP preferred).
- Extensive hands-on experience with BGP, OSPF, SD Access, DNAC, ISE, VxLAN, and MQTT in enterprise and IoT environments.
- Strong understanding of IoT security concepts, including endpoint profiling and network monitoring tools.
Technical Requirements
