## Description

We're seeking a hands-on Network Staging Technician to support a large-scale migration from Cisco to Juniper. This is a highly operational, execution-focused role centered on staging, testing, and lifecycle management of network hardware in a high-volume environment. This is not a design/architecture role-it's ideal for someone who enjoys working directly with equipment, solving hardware issues, and driving work forward in a structured, repeatable process.

What You'll Do

 + Stage and prepare Juniper access points and network hardware for deployment

 + Follow defined processes to configure, test, and validate equipment

 + Test returned hardware and determine usability

 + Pass * Return to inventory

 + Fail * Engage vendor support and coordinate RMA

 + Troubleshoot devices that fail validation or don't behave as expected

 + Maintain accurate inventory tracking and documentation

 + Partner with infrastructure teams and vendors to ensure continuous equipment flow

This role is repetitive by design-but requires critical thinking when things don't go as planned.
