Description
We're looking for a hands-on Network Deployment Engineer who can stage, install, configure, and commission Juniper EX4400 Series switches using the Juniper Mist cloud platform — including migrations from existing Cisco environments — and leave every site fully operational and properly documented.
What you'll do:
Stage, rack, install, configure, and validate Juniper EX4400 Series switches at customer sites.
Onboard, configure, and manage switches through the Juniper Mist cloud platform.
Translate existing Cisco configurations into Junos and Mist equivalents; migrate legacy environments with minimal disruption.
Validate VLANs, trunks, PoE, uplinks, link aggregation, spanning tree, and management connectivity.
Install and validate copper and fiber uplinks, SFP transceivers, patch cables, and related components.
Confirm connected devices — wireless APs, cameras, access control, phones, workstations — return to service post-migration.
Coordinate maintenance windows and cutovers with remote engineers, project managers, and customer stakeholders.
Troubleshoot connectivity, configuration, cabling, power, and interoperability issues in the field.
Complete post-installation testing, photographs, asset records, port documentation, and site acceptance checklists within required timeframes.
Back up and document existing configurations before any equipment replacement.
Required qualifications:
2+ years of hands-on enterprise switch installation and configuration experience.
Demonstrated experience with Juniper EX Series switches, preferably EX4400.
Hands-on Juniper Mist experience — device onboarding, configuration templates, port profiles, switch monitoring, and software management.
Working knowledge of Junos OS and the Junos CLI.
Experience installing or migrating within legacy Cisco Catalyst environments; ability to read Cisco IOS configurations.
Familiarity with structured cabling, fiber testing, UPS systems, and network closet standards.
CompTIA Network+, Security+, or comparable certifications.
Prior experience in government, education, healthcare, or other distributed enterprise environments.
Travel:
This role requires substantial nationwide travel — air and ground, multi-day deployments, occupied facilities, and active network environments. Evening and weekend maintenance windows are part of the work. Consecutive deployment assignments are expected during peak program periods. All travel expenses are covered per company travel policy.
What we offer:
Competitive compensation — full-time, contract, or project-based depending on experience.
All travel and expenses covered.
Direct working relationship with company leadership.
Meaningful work on a large-scale federal program with a tight, experienced team.
