Location: New York, NY
Schedule: Hybrid, 3 days onsite
Type: Contract to Hire

Overview

A growing organization is seeking a senior-level Wireless Network Engineer with strong hands‑on Wi‑Fi expertise.

This is not a traditional route/switch role. The focus is heavily on wireless troubleshooting, RF design, Meraki, and supporting a large, high-density multi-site environment.

The role is roughly 80% operational troubleshooting and 20% project work .

Must Haves

• Strong Cisco Meraki wireless experience
• Advanced Wi‑Fi and RF troubleshooting
• Cell sizing, radio profiles, power, channels, and AP placement
• Experience with 5 GHz and 6 GHz environments
• High-density wireless experience
• Ability to troubleshoot independently
• Strong communication and teamwork
• Proactive, hands‑on mindset

Environment

• Cisco Meraki
• Some Cisco enterprise wireless
• Modern Wi‑Fi environments, including newer wireless standards
• Large multi‑site footprint
• High-density user environments
• Continued location growth and expansion

What They Want

Someone who can walk into a difficult Wi‑Fi issue, investigate independently, and identify the root cause.

The right person will also look beyond the immediate problem, identify improvements, document processes, and help mentor other technical team members.

Not a Fit

• Generic route/switch engineers
• Candidates with limited wireless depth
• Candidates with no Meraki experience
• Pure architects who are no longer hands‑on
