The Wireless Network Engineer at the University of Vermont is responsible for the high-level design, troubleshooting, and management of the university's wireless network. This role involves providing problem resolution for applications that operate over the wireless network as well as the Internet. The primary focus will be on configuring, troubleshooting, and maintaining the UVM wireless network, while also having secondary responsibilities for managing switches and routers. A basic understanding of firewalls and VPN services is also required. Given the heavy use of IPv6 in the wireless environment and across the campus, a proficient knowledge of both IPv4 and IPv6 network addressing is essential. The position requires experience with network performance monitoring and debugging tools, as well as familiarity with various wireless standards including 802.1x, SAML, Radius authentication, and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax. Additionally, knowledge of firewalls, network intrusion detection systems, and routing protocols such as EIGRP and BGP is highly desirable. The Wireless Network Engineer will also engage in network and server virtualization, ensuring that the university's wireless infrastructure is robust and efficient. Candidates are encouraged to demonstrate how they can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the institution in their cover letters. This position is part of a bargaining unit and may require a probationary period. Occasional evening and weekend work may be necessary, and a background check is required for this role.
