Senior Network Engineer Required Skills/# of Years: Self motivated /ability to perform autonomously. Candidate must be a doer who can drive projects to successful completion and who can implement and troubleshoot (not just an architect or idea person). Experience designing AND implementing large networks (as senior/lead engineer, not just part of a team) 3+ years of experience as a senior or lead engineer, including being an escalation point and/or mentor for junior engineers 5+ years of experience working on Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches (6509, 6505, 6513). 5+ years of experience working with enterprise or carrier class Cisco routers such as 12000 series, 7600 series, or CRS (these might appear on a resume with more specific model numbers such as XR12000, 12016, 12010, 12406, CRS-3, 7604, 7613, etc.) 5+ years of experience working with both Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Local Area Networks (LAN) Strong knowledge of routing protocols, especially BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) - preferably experience designing and implementing large scale BGP networks Experience with both Windows and Unix environments Desired Skills: CCIE (with a certification number: NOT just a "written" CCIE) in "Routing and Switching" or in "Service Provider." Having a multiple-CCIE would be nice. CCIE in Voice or Security might be a good candidate, but their focus is probably in a slightly different field. Experience designing, implementing, and supporting large scale EIGRP networks Experience with non-Cisco vendors (such as Juniper, Foundry, CheckPoint, Riverbed, F5, RadWare, PaloAlto, etc.) Some Cisco Nexus experience Some Storage Area Network (SAN) or Network Attached Storage (NAS) experience Some IP Multicast experience Description of Project: There are a number of projects that are launching on our global data network. Among these are a project to migrate an Illinois data center to Nexus, a SAN/NAS architecture and implementation project, a IP Multicast architecture and implementation project, and a project to extend limited VoIP implementations to additional offices around the globe (our role would be more on the network architecture to support VoIP rather than implementation of VoIP phones ourselves). Many of the projects are medium-long duration (several months or more) and highly complex, requiring elements of project management, architecture, and coordination of disparate teams and departments. The environment is such that the senior engineer/project owner has to be the driving force to achieve project success - someone who relies on direction from others will struggle. Lastly, there are many entrenched systems, architectures, and attitudes that provide obstacles to change; the successful practitioner has to constantly drive positive options, solutions, and progress toward completion rather than be stymied by obstacles.
