7-15 years of relevant network engineering experience, including substantial hands-on work in lab, test, telecom, data centre, or similarly complex technical environments.

Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, Ethernet switching, VLANs, IPv4/IPv6, subnetting, routing protocols, firewalls, DHCP, IP addressing, and network security practices.

Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot multi-layer network issues and drive incidents through root-cause analysis, resolution, and documentation.

Experience with command-line tools, packet analysis, logs, monitoring and visualization platforms, and configuration or recovery procedures.

Degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Networking, Telecommunications, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, certifications, and experience.
