• We oversee the installation, configuration, and testing of WIDS sensors, rack-mounted equipment, network connectivity, supporting software, and management platforms.
• We partner with construction, network engineering, physical security, security operations, site operations, and vendor teams to coordinate deployment work and resolve technical dependencies.
• We work directly with the WIDS vendor to troubleshoot issues, improve system capabilities, strengthen detection quality, and optimize platform performance.
• We configure and fine-tune detection policies, alert thresholds, sensor placement, and system settings to reduce false positives and improve coverage.
• We validate system performance through coverage testing, functional testing, alert verification, and operational acceptance testing.
• We lead technical issue resolution during site deployment, commissioning, and transition into production service.
• We develop repeatable deployment architectures, configuration standards, test procedures, runbooks, and operational workflows that support expansion to future sites.
• We ensure WIDS solutions are scalable, supportable, resilient, and aligned with applicable security, network, and data center standards.
• We define monitoring, maintenance, escalation, and incident-response processes in partnership with security operations and site support teams.
• We track technical risks, defects, dependencies, and remediation activities throughout the deployment lifecycle.
• We provide technical guidance, training, and knowledge transfer to operations, engineering, and support teams.
• We evaluate system data and operational feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
