Senior QC Network Engineer

Onsite- 5days a week- No Remote US Citizens or GC Holders only Must be on W2 (Direct- Hire) - no C2C

• Perform pre shipment quality control reviews of network device configurations across Fortinet, Juniper, and Cradlepoint platforms
• Serve as the final technical review and quality gate before devices are released for shipment
• Validate configurations against detailed multi step runbooks and standards to identify errors, omissions, or deviations
• Provide real time oversight and coaching to engineers during staging and build activities without directly performing configurations

• Review, validate, and continuously improve technical runbooks covering the full device build lifecycle
• Ensure runbooks accurately reflect the current thirty five step configuration standard
• Update documentation immediately when issues are discovered so lessons learned are captured and reused
• Drive strong change control discipline by ensuring deviations are documented, reviewed, and approved

• Develop and maintain clear technical documentation that engineers can follow without prior project context
• Document the ecosystem of systems involved in the build process, including sixteen source systems and approximately twenty five required data points per device
• Create templates, checklists, and reference materials that reduce risk and improve consistency in a highly manual environment

• Communicate quality control status, readiness, and outcomes to internal and customer stakeholders
• Provide written and verbal updates on findings, exceptions, and resolutions
• Partner with project managers, logistics teams, and senior engineers throughout the device build and shipping lifecycle

• Demonstrated depth in one or more of the following:

• Experience with at least one of the following deployment backgrounds:
  • Large scale circuit rollouts including cellular, DIA, or WAN
  • Enterprise firewall deployments across multiple sites
  • Enterprise routing and switching deployments
• Eight or more years of progressive network engineering experience with senior engineer or architect level exposure
• Strong foundational understanding of networking including circuits, routing, switching, VLAN design, and centralized management platforms

• Excellent written communication skills and customer facing professionalism

• Experience with FortiManager or similar centralized network management platforms
• Familiarity with Fortinet, Juniper, or Cradlepoint environments
• Experience supporting large scale, repeatable network deployment programs

• Configuration defects do not reach the customer site
• Runbooks are accurate, current, and trusted by the engineering team
• Engineers follow established procedures consistently and deviations are formally reviewed
• New team members ramp quickly using clear, reliable documentation
• Field issues result in immediate root cause analysis and same day runbook updates
