Job Summary
Senior Technical Architect - Wireless Position Overview We are seeking a Senior Technical Architect - Wireless to join our Technical Architecture team and help design, standardize, and evolve a large-scale global enterprise wireless environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced wireless engineer with CWNE or CCIE Wireless-level expertise who is looking to transition into architecture, as well as an architect who is relatively early in their architecture career. The Senior Technical Architect – Wireless will work closely with Network Engineering and other Technical Architects to develop wireless architectures, high-level designs, standards, LLD templates, golden configurations, and implementation guidelines. The organization is currently transitioning from Aruba to Cisco Meraki, providing the successful candidate with an opportunity to play a significant role in the architecture and standardization of the future wireless environment. This is a Senior-level architecture position. The successful candidate will have meaningful technical ownership while working alongside experienced Principal Technical Architects who will provide mentorship and guidance. Responsibilities Wireless Architecture & Design • Develop high-level designs for enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) environments. • Develop and maintain wireless reference architectures, standards, and design patterns. • Design enterprise wireless solutions addressing coverage, capacity, RF performance, resiliency, security, and operational requirements. • Evaluate wireless technologies and designs for scalability, performance, security, and operational effectiveness. • Support the organization’s transition from Aruba to Cisco Meraki through architecture, design, standards, and technical guidance. • Participate in wireless technology evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and architecture assessments. • Contribute to wireless technology roadmaps and lifecycle planning. Wireless Engineering Standards • Develop and maintain wireless LLD templates, golden configurations, and configuration standards. • Establish standardized WLAN design and deployment practices that can be consistently implemented by Engineering. • Develop standards for RF configuration, SSIDs, authentication, roaming, RF management, channel utilization, power, and other WLAN parameters. • Partner with Network Engineering to validate and continuously improve wireless standards and configurations. • Validate wireless configurations and implementations against approved architecture, standards, HLDs, LLDs, and golden configurations. • Identify standards deviations and work with Engineering to resolve or formally document exceptions. Wireless Security & Access Control • Provide architecture and technical guidance for enterprise wireless authentication and access control. • Design and support integration between wireless infrastructure and Aruba ClearPass and Cisco ISE. • Develop standards for 802.1X, WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise, guest access, device onboarding, and network access policies. • Work with Security and Network Engineering to ensure wireless solutions meet enterprise security requirements. Technical Leadership • Own assigned wireless architecture initiatives and deliverables. • Review engineering designs and provide architectural guidance. • Mentor wireless engineers and share technical knowledge. • Create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and maintain architecture documentation. • Collaborate with LAN/WAN, Security, Cloud, End User Computer, and other technical architects. • Work with vendors and technology partners on wireless capabilities and solutions. Required Qualifications • 10+ years of enterprise wireless networking experience or equivalent depth of wireless engineering experience. • Strong hands-on experience designing, implementing, troubleshooting, and optimizing enterprise WLAN environments. • CWNE or CCIE Wireless-level expertise strongly preferred. • Strong knowledge of: o Enterprise WLAN arch
