• Collaborate with internal and external teams on wireless projects, upgrades, and CVE patching
• Develop and maintain documentation, diagrams, and configuration standards
• Support wireless security initiatives, including 802.1X, RADIUS, and segmentation policies
• Stay current with wireless standards and emerging technologies

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in enterprise wireless networking
• Deep knowledge of RF design, wireless protocols (802.11 standards), and Wi-Fi security
• Hands-on experience with Cisco or Aruba wireless ecosystems
• Familiarity with network monitoring and diagnostic tools (e.g. Ekahau, Cisco Prime, Airwave, Aruba Central)
• Certifications such as CWNA, CWDP, CCNP Wireless, or Aruba ACMP are highly desirable
• Strong documentation, troubleshooting, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across teams and projects
