## Description

This role requires both hands-on technical depth and the ability to contribute to long-term infrastructure strategy in a fast-moving semiconductor company. The Senior Network Engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, and operational excellence of Semtech's global network infrastructure, spanning 30+ sites across North America, EMEA, and APAC. This role owns a broad technology portfolio including Palo Alto next-generation firewalls, Zscaler, Aryaka SD-WAN, LAN/WAN architecture, Cisco L2/L3 network devices, and cloud networking across AWS and Azure environments. The first major initiative for this role will be leading Semtech's migration from its current firewall infrastructure to a Zscaler-based zero-trust architecture. Beyond that project, the role will continue to own the design, operation, and improvement of the global network, along with initiatives such as VPN modernization and cross-regional connectivity. Working closely with the IT Infrastructure, Security, and Cloud
teams, this role plays a key part in ensuring network resilience, performance, and security for a fast-growing global semiconductor company.

Responsibilities:

 * Design and Architecture: Plan and build scalable, reliable physical and wireless network infrastructures, including Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and cloud connectivity. (8%)

 * Configuration and Deployment: Install, configure, and manage core networking hardware and services such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, and DHCP. (25%)

 * Monitoring and Optimization: Observe network performance metrics, analyze traffic patterns, and perform system tuning to maximize efficiency and prevent downtime. (15%)

 * Troubleshooting and Incident Response: Diagnose and resolve complex network outages, performance degradation, and connectivity faults across multi-vendor environments. (25%)

 * Security Management: Implement network security controls, access policies, firewalls, and VPNs to protect corporate assets against cyber threats. (12%)

 * Planning and Documentation: Maintain detailed architecture diagrams, manage compliance with change control processes, and evaluate emerging technologies. (15%)
