- Strong competency in generating solution documentation for both internal stakeholders and clients: often in the form of network implementation plans, physical network designs, slides, documents, and spreadsheets
- Ensure the feasibility of your proposed solution with our Deployment and Engineering teams
- Track, prioritize, and manage all technical activities and milestones from pre-sale to customer-ready
- You'll be the primary point of contact to resolve technical design issues from customers (internal and external) during and after installations
- Provide hands-on management of the most complex projects: leading by personally taking on any difficult problems
- Beyond day-to-day responsibilities, you'll also develop creative approaches to keep operational costs low and improve the efficiency of our approach to infrastructure deployment
EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION REQUIRED:
- BS in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience

- Experience with networking and routing - CCNP or equivalent experience a plus
- Our ideal candidate will have a strong bias for action, and sense of pace and urgency; you'll ensure work is completed within expected timeline.
- A proven track record delivering on or exceeding goals is desired
- You'll be highly motivated, extremely organized, team-oriented, creative, and possess outstanding communication skills
