Sr. Network Solution Architect

Take the lead in designing and transforming enterprise network infrastructure across global manufacturing operations, smart factories, and corporate environments. In this senior technical role, you will shape the architecture of secure, resilient, and scalable networks that connect Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. You will drive innovation across data centers, cloud platforms, enterprise WAN/LAN infrastructure, and industrial environments while strengthening cybersecurity through zero-trust principles and network segmentation. Working with advanced technologies from Cisco, Aruba, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and other leading providers, you will develop solutions that improve connectivity, performance, and operational reliability. You will also influence infrastructure strategy, guide engineering teams, and collaborate with executive leaders, plant managers, and external technology partners. This remote opportunity is ideal for an experienced network architect who thrives on solving complex infrastructure challenges and modernizing mission-critical industrial environments.
