NVIDIA is seeking a highly skilled Senior Network Deployment Engineer with 10+ years of progressive experience to lead complex, large-scale campus network deployment projects from inception to completion. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader responsible for the design, build-out, and continuous maintenance of high-performance enterprise campus networks (wired and wireless). A key focus of this role is employing network automation tools and scripting (Ansible, Python) for efficient, repeatable deployments, coupled with strong project management skills for leading and executing end-to-end site builds globally.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the comprehensive design, architecture, implementation, and optimization of complex wired and wireless campus network infrastructures.
  • Manage and implement end-to-end site deployments, overseeing all phases from requirements gathering and architecture design through configuration, testing, cutover, and final operational handover.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal IT teams, security, data center teams, facilities, and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery.
  • Create, maintain, and enforce robust network documentation (diagrams, standards, templates) and best practices.
  • Drive network automation initiatives by developing and utilizing scripts and tools (e.g., Python, Ansible, Netmiko) for configuration management, deployment, and operational tasks.
  • Provide advanced, third-level troubleshooting and act as an escalation point for complex network issues across all technologies.
  • Proactively manage project timelines and resources, ensuring on-time and on-budget completion and providing regular status updates.

 

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field.
  • 10+ years of progressive network engineering experience with strong emphasis on enterprise campus design and large-scale deployments.
  • Strong fundamentals in TCP/IP, routing and switching, and hands-on operational experience driving production cutovers.
  • Hands-on experience (or strong familiarity) with one or more of: Cisco, Arista, Mist, Aruba, Cumulus Linux.
  • Working knowledge of modern network designs and protocols such as BGP, and exposure to EVPN/VXLAN (where applicable).
  • Experience with NAC and authentication technologies: 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, EAP, CoA (wired and wireless).
  • Security experience including hands-on work with Palo Alto firewalls, enterprise firewall policy, and troubleshooting.
  • Familiarity with load balancers (e.g., F5, Citrix) and how they integrate into enterprise network services.
  • Proficiency in Linux for troubleshooting, tooling, and deploying/operating network services; comfort with packet capture tools (e.g., Wireshark).
  • Demonstrated ability to automate workflows (at least medium proficiency) using Python and automation frameworks such as Ansible/Salt, plus strong communication and multi-project ownership.

 

Ways to Stand Out:

  • CCNP/CCIE (Enterprise Infrastructure or Wireless) or comparable advanced industry certifications.
  • Experience with RF planning, site surveys, and hands-on Wi-Fi troubleshooting in large campus deployments.
  • Strong experience with SD-WAN and IPsec VPNs, including design, deployment, and operationalization.
  • Experience integrating network deployments with monitoring/telemetry and performance analysis platforms (dashboards, alerting, validation).
  • Track record of delivering repeatable, automated site builds using standardized templates, validation gates, and deployment pipelines.

 

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salaries and a generous benefits package.
  • NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers.
  • NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
  • Applications for this job will be accepted at least until March 6, 2026.
  • NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
