Join NTT DATA as a Network Engineering Advisor specializing in Cisco Wireless and Aruba migrations. This role offers a unique opportunity to leverage your L3 wireless expertise in complex enterprise environments. You will be instrumental in supporting, optimizing, and migrating critical wireless infrastructures.

We are seeking a proactive and skilled engineer who thrives on tackling intricate wireless challenges and driving successful technology transitions. If you are passionate about delivering robust network solutions and contributing to innovative projects, this position is an excellent fit.

Responsibilities

As a Network Engineering Advisor, your primary focus will be providing L3 support for Cisco wireless environments, including configuring and troubleshooting Cisco Catalyst 9800 WLCs and Access Points. You will conduct in-depth root cause analysis for wireless incidents and perform detailed log and packet capture analysis.

A key aspect of this role involves leading or supporting migrations from Aruba to Cisco wireless infrastructure. This includes assessing existing Aruba setups, mapping configurations, and developing comprehensive migration plans. You will also validate post-migration performance and troubleshoot any related issues.

Furthermore, you will contribute to wireless design and optimization efforts, review RF performance, and troubleshoot across various Wi-Fi standards. Integration with Cisco ISE for authentication and seamless LAN infrastructure connectivity are also critical functions. You will participate in incident, problem, and change management processes, ensuring operational stability and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

This position requires 6-10+ years of overall Network Engineering experience, with a minimum of 4-5 years focused on enterprise wireless. Proven L3 troubleshooting experience in large Cisco wireless environments is essential, along with demonstrable experience migrating wireless infrastructure from Aruba to Cisco.

You should possess a strong understanding of enterprise Wi-Fi architecture, 802.11 protocols, and Cisco ISE/RADIUS authentication. Expertise in troubleshooting wireless connectivity, authentication, RF, and client issues is mandatory. Experience with packet captures and wireless diagnostic tools is also required.

Desirable skills include experience with Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco Spaces, Aruba Central, and wireless survey tools. Basic scripting knowledge for automation is a plus. Certifications like CCNP Enterprise or CCIE Enterprise Wireless are highly advantageous. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving abilities are crucial for success in this role.
