You will lead the design and lifecycle of our campus, branch, and data-center networks-including high-performance NVIDIA InfiniBand fabrics that power AI/HPC workloads-while ensuring our controls meet TISAX expectations and internal ISMS requirements, 1) Global Architecture & Standards (On-Site Only) * Design and document end-to-end on-prem architectures (core/distribution/access/WLAN; DC leaf-spine) * Establish and maintain global standards: IP addressing & IPAM (NetBox), routing policy, QoS, naming, security baselines, and change control (HLD/LLD, MOP/SOP, rollback) * Define network zoning & segmentation (VLAN/VRF; optional EVPN/VXLAN where justified) across Office and DMZ networks with clear trust boundaries 2) Routing, Switching, WLAN & Regional Sites * Engineer BGP/OSPF for WAN & DC; deliver redundancy/failover across carriers and sites * Own Aruba campus/branch switching and WLAN (coverage, capacity planning, RF hygiene, roaming, WPA2/3-Enterprise) * Plan and execute site builds/moves/expansions (circuits, last-mile, demarc, handoffs, cutovers) with measurable downtime windows 3) Security, Remote Access & Identity * Lead FortiGate policy architecture (zones, NAT, segmentation, IDS/IPS) and FortiGate VPN (IPsec/SSL) for site-to-site and remote access, including HA and posture checks * Implement 802.1X NAC (e.g., Aruba ClearPass) with RADIUS/Active Directory integration; enforce device posture and guest segmentation * Operate DMZ patterns (reverse proxying, jump hosts, constrained admin planes) and align with TISAX/ISMS requirements 4) High-Performance Networking for AI/HPC * Design, deploy, and maintain NVIDIA InfiniBand fabrics (topology, cabling/optics, partitioning), including subnet managers (UFM/opensm), congestion control, and path optimization * Coordinate with compute/storage teams (e.g., DGX/HPC clusters) on throughput, latency, and scale; plan upgrades and fabric expansions 5) Reliability, Observability & Automation * Deliver high availability (fast convergence, dual-homing, link aggregation/MLAG/VLT) and tested DR/failover * Implement proactive monitoring/alerting (e.g., Zabbix), telemetry/SNMP, and capacity trends; maintain RCAs and SLOs * Centralize logging with rsyslog and FortiAnalyzer; enforce retention and integrity for audits * Use NetBox, Ansible/Python, and Git-based workflows for configuration management, drift control, and repeatable changes 6) Compliance, Risk & Vendor Management (TISAX Focus) * Map network controls to TISAX expectations (ISMS governance, secure remote access, logging, supplier access, data protection) * Partner with ISMS owner/CISO on risk assessments, controls testing, and evidence preparation for audits (policies, diagrams, logs, change records) * Manage carriers and vendors (Fortinet, Aruba, Dell; integrators); lead RFPs, SLAs, and lifecycle planning * Mentor regional IT; act as L3 escalation for incidents and major changes Core Technologies @ Agile Robots SE * Security & Remote Access: FortiGate NGFW, FortiGate VPN (IPsec/SSL), FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer * Campus/Branch & WLAN: Aruba CX/AOS switching, controllers/APs, ClearPass (802.1X), AirWave (on-prem mgmt) * Data Center & Fabric: Dell PowerSwitch (OS10), VLT/MLAG; NVIDIA InfiniBand (UFM/opensm). * Foundational Services: VLAN/VRF, BGP/OSPF, QoS; DHCP/DNS, Active Directory, RADIUS; NetBox(IPAM/DCIM) * Observability & Automation: Zabbix, rsyslog (retention policy), NetFlow/sFlow;
