Architect and implement large-scale Wireless Plant Networks (WPN), integrating outdoor mesh access points, wireless LAN controllers, firewalls, industrial tablets, and network hardware.
Lead system validation activities including factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and full commissioning of wireless networks in complex industrial settings.

Secure Network Integration

Design secure wireless architectures that integrate into customers' Process Control Domains (PCDs) with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and cybersecurity best practices.
Collaborate with OT and IT teams to harden wireless deployments against evolving security threats.

Enablement & Support

Experienced in LAN/WAN topologies and secure network infrastructure configuration (routers, switches, firewalls).
Familiar with process control and industrial automation environments, particularly regarding wireless integration with OT systems.

Preferred Certifications

CCNA / CCNP (Enterprise or Security)
CWNA and CWDP or similar wireless certifications

Additional Qualities

Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Resourceful, self-directed, and comfortable working in dynamic, field-oriented environments.
