NVIDIA is seeking a highly skilled Senior Network Deployment Engineer with 10+ years of progressive experience to lead complex, large-scale campus network deployment projects from inception to completion. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader responsible for the design, build-out, and continuous maintenance of high-performance enterprise campus networks (wired and wireless). A key focus of this role is employing network automation tools and scripting (Ansible, Python) for efficient, repeatable deployments, coupled with strong project management skills for leading and executing end-to-end site builds globally.

What you will be doing:

• Lead the comprehensive design, architecture, implementation, and optimization of complex wired and wireless campus network infrastructures.

• Manage and implement end-to-end site deployments, overseeing all phases from requirements gathering and architecture design through configuration, testing, cutover, and final operational handover.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal IT teams, security, data center teams, facilities, and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery.

• Create, maintain, and enforce robust network documentation (diagrams, standards, templates) and best practices.

• Drive network automation initiatives by developing and utilizing scripts and tools (e.g., Python, Ansible, Netmiko) for configuration management, deployment, and operational tasks.

• Provide advanced, third-level troubleshooting and act as an escalation point for complex network issues across all technologies.

• Proactively manage project timelines and resources, ensuring on-time and on-budget completion and providing regular status updates.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or related field.

• 10+ years of progressive network engineering experience with strong emphasis on enterprise campus design and large-scale deployments.

• Strong fundamentals in TCP/IP, routing and switching, and hands-on operational experience driving production cutovers.

• Hands-on experience (or strong familiarity) with one or more of: Cisco, Arista, Mist, Aruba, Cumulus Linux.

• Working knowledge of modern network designs and protocols such as BGP, and exposure to EVPN/VXLAN (where applicable).

• Experience with NAC and authentication technologies: 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, EAP, CoA (wired and wireless).

• Security experience including hands-on work with Palo Alto firewalls, enterprise firewall policy, and troubleshooting.

• Familiarity with load balancers (e.g., F5, Citrix) and how they integrate into enterprise network services.

• Proficiency in Linux for troubleshooting, tooling, and deploying/operating network services; comfort with packet capture tools (e.g., Wireshark).

• Demonstrated ability to automate workflows (at least medium proficiency) using Python and automation frameworks such as Ansible/Salt, plus strong communication and multi-project ownership.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• CCNP/CCIE (Enterprise Infrastructure or Wireless) or comparable advanced industry certifications.

• Experience with RF planning, site surveys, and hands-on Wi-Fi troubleshooting in large campus deployments.

• Strong experience with SD-WAN and IPsec VPNs, including design, deployment, and operationalization.

• Experience integrating network deployments with monitoring/telemetry and performance analysis platforms (dashboards, alerting, validation).

• Track record of delivering repeatable, automated site builds using standardized templates, validation gates, and deployment pipelines.
