Job description

This is a project-based employee role supporting the verification, validation, and readiness of our autonomous vehicle platforms. Development phases of this nature typically span through project completion (typically 2-4 years), though scope and duration are driven by business needs.

About the Role

We are hiring a Network Engineer III to support, maintain, and evolve ASI's network infrastructure across corporate environments and autonomous technology operations. This role ensures high availability, security, scalability, and performance of networking systems that support internal teams, customer deployments, and field validation efforts.

Engineers collaborate closely with IT, security, robotics, and systems teams. Scope expands by level from foundational operational support (Level I), to independent ownership of network systems and improvements (Level II), to enterprise architecture leadership and advanced security implementation (Level III). This role is based in DFW, TX and may require occasional support of field deployments or remote sites.

Job Duties

Network Operations & Infrastructure

• Maintain and support routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs, wireless systems, and related infrastructure

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to network performance improvements and infrastructure upgrades
• Assist with scripting or automation of routine network tasks
• Participate in system upgrades and infrastructure modernization efforts
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to support robotics and autonomous deployments
• (Level III scope includes network automation using tools such as Python, Ansible, Terraform, SD‑WAN implementation, and strategic infrastructure initiatives.)

Collaboration & Execution

• Work closely with IT, security, engineering, and operations teams
• Escalate complex issues appropriately (Level I) or resolve independently (Level II/III)
• Adapt to changing priorities based on deployment schedules and business needs
• Participate in technical reviews and contribute to continuous improvement efforts

(Level III may mentor junior engineers and lead technical initiatives.)
