This is a short-term troubleshooting and optimization engagement, not a network replacement or infrastructure deployment project. The primary objective is to improve wireless performance using the existing environment ahead of a planned network refresh in 2027.

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Wireless Network Engineer / Consultant to assess, troubleshoot, and optimize an existing Client Aruba wireless network at an office location in Plymouth, Minnesota.

The wireless environment has experienced increasing connectivity and performance issues over the past six months, creating a need for an experienced engineer who can quickly identify root causes and implement practical, cost-effective improvements.

The ideal candidate will have extensive Aruba wireless experience, strong RF troubleshooting skills, and the ability to determine whether performance issues originate from the wireless infrastructure or Windows-based end-user devices.

Key Responsibilities

• Wireless Network Assessment: Evaluate the existing Client Aruba WLAN environment, including access points, controllers or cloud management, network configurations, RF conditions, and overall wireless performance.
• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: Diagnose connectivity issues, slow speeds, intermittent drops, roaming problems, interference, authentication failures, and other wireless performance concerns.
• Windows Endpoint Troubleshooting: Investigate potential client-side issues involving Windows laptops and PCs, including wireless adapters, drivers, network profiles, operating system settings, and device configurations.
• Wireless Optimization: Identify opportunities to improve performance through channel adjustments, transmit power optimization, RF tuning, and other configuration changes using existing infrastructure.
• Performance Validation: Conduct wireless testing before and after approved changes to confirm improvements and identify any remaining issues.
• Documentation & Recommendations: Provide a concise summary of findings, identified root causes, changes implemented, test results, and prioritized recommendations for additional improvements.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in enterprise wireless networking, engineering, troubleshooting, or technical consulting.
• Extensive hands-on experience supporting and optimizing Client Aruba wireless networks .
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals, wireless interference, channel planning, roaming, access point configurations, and WLAN security.
• Experience troubleshooting Aruba controllers, access points, and wireless management platforms.
• Proficiency with wireless diagnostic and analysis tools such as Ekahau, Wireshark, Aruba management tools, or equivalent solutions.
• Experience diagnosing Windows wireless connectivity issues, including Wi-Fi adapters, drivers, and client configurations.
• Ability to independently assess an environment, identify root causes, recommend solutions, and implement approved configuration changes.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical findings and recommendations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Aruba ACMP, ACSP, or equivalent wireless networking certifications.
• Experience supporting corporate office wireless environments and business-critical users.
• Prior experience performing wireless assessments, performance optimization, or remediation engagements.
