Network Reliability Engineer 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.
