- Solid understanding of the OSI model and core TCP/IP networking concepts, including routing and switching fundamentals, DHCP, DNS, and QoS/DSCP.
- Ability to troubleshoot common network issues using the Meraki dashboard, packet captures, and tools like Wireshark, digging in before escalating more complex problems to senior engineers.
- Exposure to network monitoring and diagnostic tools (e.g., SolarWinds, LogicMonitor, PRTG, ELK, Meraki dashboard alerts and reporting, or similar).
- Comfortable learning and applying SD-WAN specific features such as firewall and content filtering rules and adaptive policy, with eagerness to grow into more advanced protocols over time.
- Strong documentation habits, including experience creating and maintaining network diagrams using tools like Visio or Lucidchart or similar platforms documentation is a critical part of this role.
- Experience with IT asset and inventory management, tracking network hardware from procurement through deployment and decommissioning.
