• Assist in the design, deployment, and maintenance of network infrastructure at existing and future locations, under the direction of senior engineering staff.
• Perform routine configuration, patching, and maintenance of routers, switches, wireless access points, and related hardware.
• Provide first- and second-level support for network-related help desk escalations, troubleshooting issues through to resolution or escalating complex problems appropriately.
• Apply security patches, upgrades, and configuration changes in accordance with change management policies.
• Support physical infrastructure work, including structured cabling, rack builds, and equipment installation at the site.
• Collaborate with the Information Security team on securing network components, infrastructure, and connected devices.
• Maintain clear, accurate documentation of network configurations, changes, and procedures.
• Perform ongoing system and network maintenance in a primarily on-site role (approximately 80–90% on-site).

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional networking experience, with skills in installing, configuring, and maintaining network equipment (e.g., Juniper switches/routers).
• Strong working experience with Jira/Atlassian.
• Working knowledge of core networking services and protocols (DNS, DHCP, VLANs, OSPF/BGP fundamentals) and exposure to next-generation firewalls.
• Hands-on experience with wireless networking, including basic configuration, access point placement, and troubleshooting.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and a track record of diagnosing and resolving network and system issues.
• Familiarity with UNIX/Linux system administration fundamentals and change management practices.
• Comfort with physical networking work: cabling, connectors, transceivers, and use of standard network monitoring tools.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to research or High Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
• Experience with automation/Infrastructure-as-Code.
