• Maintain VMware virtualization platforms and on‑premises servers to guarantee system stability and performance.
• Cybersecurity
• Assist in deploying FortiGate enterprise firewall policies, VPN configuration, log analysis and initial response to security incidents.
• Support PKI and certificate management to secure access and communication encryption.
• Coordinate with corporate security and service desk teams to ensure on‑site networks are compliant, controllable and scalable.
• Upgrade Coordination (Collaboration with China HQ)
• Work closely with the corporate network engineering team based in China to accurately collect and share diagnostic information for efficient remote issue resolution.
• Act as the technical and linguistic bridge between on‑site teams and headquarters.
• Pre‑sales & Solution Implementation (Approx. 20% of workload)
• During new project delivery, adapt, demonstrate and present standard network and server deployment architectures provided by headquarters according to actual customer site conditions.
• Collaborate with sales and project teams for customer technical communication, site surveys, deployment architecture planning and on‑site implementation.
