• Fiber & High-Speed Connectivity: Install, inspect, label, and validate fiber-optic infrastructure and high-speed interconnects, including QSFP/OSFP transceivers, DACs, AOCs, and associated cabling.
• Switch Configuration: Configure and validate switch ports, including access and trunk interfaces, VLAN assignments, link aggregation, and other Layer 2 configurations under established network standards and engineering guidance.
• Spine-Leaf Network Deployment: Support deployment, expansion, and troubleshooting of spine-leaf network fabrics used for high-performance AI/ML and GPU compute environments.
• GPU & Server Connectivity: Install and validate network connectivity for GPU servers, compute nodes, and high-performance NICs. Perform link validation and confirm expected connectivity, link speeds, and interface status.
• Network Troubleshooting: Diagnose Layer 1-Layer 3 connectivity issues involving switches, optics, transceivers, fiber, DAC/AOC cables, NICs, and network interfaces. Isolate faults and escalate complex issues to senior network engineers as required.
• Performance & Link Validation: Perform connectivity and basic performance testing using tools such as ping, iperf, interface diagnostics, and switch telemetry to validate network links and identify performance anomalies.
• Network Configuration Support: Assist with MLAG, LACP, port-channel, VLAN, and other network configurations under the direction of senior network engineers while following established configuration standards and change-control procedures.
• Hardware Replacement & Break/Fix: Troubleshoot and replace failed optics, transceivers, cables, network interface components, and switch line cards. Verify system functionality following component replacement.
• Network Monitoring: Monitor network health dashboards and telemetry for link failures, packet errors, interface flaps, abnormal utilization, and other connectivity or performance issues.
• Topology & Documentation: Maintain accurate documentation of rack layouts, switch configurations, fiber paths, port mappings, device inventory, and physical/logical network topology.
• Commissioning & Deployment Support: Support network commissioning, rack burn-in, and deployment activities in coordination with server, electrical, liquid cooling, facilities, and data center operations teams.
• Incident Response & Root Cause Analysis: Respond to network connectivity incidents, assist with fault isolation and root-cause analysis (RCA), and document corrective actions and recurring failure modes.
• Lead 24/7 NOC operations, direct technician triage, drive major incident escalations to hit MTTA/MTTR SLAs, and optimize monitoring tools and runbooks for maximum infrastructure uptime.

• BS degree in Computer Networking, Information Technology, or a related technical field preferred.,
• 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting network infrastructure in data centers, AI labs, high-density compute environments, or other mission-critical facilities.
• Strong working knowledge of TCP/IP, IPv4 addressing, subnetting, VLANs, trunking, Layer 2/Layer 3 concepts, and basic routing principles
• Hands-on experience with enterprise/data center switches such as Cisco, Arista, or equivalent platforms. Experience with switch port configuration, interface diagnostics, VLANs, LACP/port channels, and basic MLAG concepts is preferred.
• Experience working with 100GbE and higher-speed network infrastructure, including QSFP/OSFP optics, DAC/AOC cables, fiber connectivity, and high-speed server NICs.
• Familiarity with GPU servers, AI/ML clusters, high-density compute racks, and the networking requirements associated with distributed GPU workloads.
• Working knowledge of data center network architectures, including spine-leaf topologies and east-west traffic patterns.
• Basic proficiency with Linux command-line tools and network troubleshooting utilities such as ping, traceroute, iperf, and interface diagnostics.
• Basic understanding of firewalls, access controls, network segmentation, VPN technologies, and common data center security practices.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot Layer 1-Layer 3 connectivity issues, isolate hardware or configuration faults, and escalate complex issues appropriately.
