We are seeking a highly skilled Network Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience in building, implementing, and supporting network hardware and devices. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in configuring ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) within a Data Center environment. This role is critical as the Network Engineer will be responsible for the design, implementation, and ongoing support of network and Data Center solutions. The position is based in Silver Spring, MD, with a requirement to be on-site two days a week, as the main hospital is located in Washington, DC, but Children's National has taken over a floor in Silver Spring. The Network Engineer will play a pivotal role in several technical projects, including the implementation of ACI within our data centers, moving Data Center workloads to Equinix Data Center in Virginia, and setting up Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) at a facility located in Pittsburgh, PA. Additionally, the engineer will be responsible for establishing express routes and connectivity to various cloud platforms, including AWS, OCI, and Azure. This position requires a proactive approach to planning and implementing necessary hardware and software upgrades, as well as monitoring and maintaining network infrastructure and services to ensure optimal operation across various network environments. The successful candidate will also be responsible for providing detailed documentation regarding the network environments for change control processes and maintaining a technical documentation repository. A Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or relevant experience in network engineering is required, with the understanding that one year of relevant work experience can substitute for one year of required education. The role demands a comprehensive understanding of standard networking protocols, virtual environments, and hybrid cloud solutions, along with the ability to provide Level 3 support and troubleshooting to resolve complex issues.
