• US Citizens or GC Holders only
• Must be on W2 (Direct - Hire) - no C2C

What You Will Do

Quality Control and Oversight

• Perform pre shipment quality control reviews of network device configurations across Fortinet, Juniper, and Cradlepoint platforms
• Serve as the final technical review and quality gate before devices are released for shipment
• Validate configurations against detailed multi step runbooks and standards to identify errors, omissions, or deviations
• Provide real time oversight and coaching to engineers during staging and build activities without directly performing configurations

Runbook and Process Ownership

• Review, validate, and continuously improve technical runbooks covering the full device build lifecycle
• Ensure runbooks accurately reflect the current thirty five step configuration standard
• Update documentation immediately when issues are discovered so lessons learned are captured and reused
• Drive strong change control discipline by ensuring deviations are documented, reviewed, and approved

Technical Documentation and Knowledge Management

• Develop and maintain clear technical documentation that engineers can follow without prior project context
• Document the ecosystem of systems involved in the build process, including sixteen source systems and approximately twenty five required data points per device
• Create templates, checklists, and reference materials that reduce risk and improve consistency in a highly manual environment

Customer and Cross Functional Engagement

• Communicate quality control status, readiness, and outcomes to internal and customer stakeholders
• Provide written and verbal updates on findings, exceptions, and resolutions
• Partner with project managers, logistics teams, and senior engineers throughout the device build and shipping lifecycle

What We Are Looking For

We are intentionally not limiting this role to a specific vendor certification or technology stack. We are looking for experienced network professionals who bring depth in at least one of the following areas.

Required Experience

• Demonstrated depth in one or more of the following:
  • R unbook creation, ownership, and execution in real deployment environments
  • Technical documentation that engineers can reliably execute
  • Quality control or quality process ownership in a network engineering context
• Experience with at least one of the following deployment backgrounds:
  • Large scale circuit rollouts including cellular, DIA, or WAN
  • Enterprise firewall deployments across multiple sites
  • Enterprise routing and switching deployments
• Eight or more years of progressive network engineering experience with senior engineer or architect level exposure
• Strong foundational understanding of networking including circuits, routing, switching, VLAN design, and centralized management platforms
• Strong change control mindset with an emphasis on process discipline and quality outcomes
• Excellent written communication skills and customer facing professionalism

Preferred Experience

• Experience with FortiManager or similar centralized network management platforms
• Familiarity with Fortinet, Juniper, or Cradlepoint environments
• Experience supporting large scale, repeatable network deployment programs

What Success Looks Like

• Configuration defects do not reach the customer site
• Runbooks are accurate, current, and trusted by the engineering team
• Engineers follow established procedures consistently and deviations are formally reviewed
• New team members ramp quickly using clear, reliable documentation
• Field issues result in immediate root cause analysis and same day runbook updates
