Network Reliability Engineer

Job Summary Network Reliability (with APOS) Must Have Key skills Design and implement reliable wireless architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick) Configure VLAN tagging trunking and multi-SSID routing Perform RCA for network outages and improve uptime Monitor network via SNMP syslog dashboards (99.9% availability) Conduct wireless site surveys (Ekahau/AirMagnet) RF analysis and optimization Ensure coverage planning interference mitigation and SLA validation Implement redundancy & failover mechanisms (controller/AP DHCP resilience) Strong knowledge of 802.11 standards WPA2/WPA3 802.1X Cisco/Aruba WLAN solution Designed and implemented highly reliable wireless network architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick) deployment models. Configured VLAN tagging trunking and routing on access points to support multiSSID environments efficiently. Performed root cause analysis (RCA) for network outages and implemented corrective actions to improve uptime. Monitored network health using tools (SNMP syslog dashboards) to ensure 99.9% availability. Optimized RF performance and channel utilization to reduce interference and improve reliability. Implemented redundancy and failover mechanisms (controller/AP failover DHCP resilience). Wireless Survey & Optimization Conducted site surveys (predeployment & postdeployment) using tools like Ekahau / AirMagnet. Performed RF coverage analysis heatmaps creation and capacity planning for enterprise environments. Identified and mitigated RF interference dead zones and co-channel interference issues. Recommended optimal AP placement power levels and channel assignments for maximum coverage and performance. Executed wireless troubleshooting (latency packet loss roaming issues). Validated network performance against SLA requirements and user density expectations. Added Value Skills Expertise in 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and wireless security (WPA2/WPA3 802.1X). Experience with controller-based and cloud wireless solutions (Cisco Aruba etc.). Strong understanding of QoS roaming optimization and load balancing in WLANs.
