- Strong hands-on experience with enterprise wireless platforms (Aruba or equivalent)
Expertise in:
- Wireless troubleshooting and performance optimization
- Client connectivity and roaming issues
Advanced knowledge of:
802.11 wireless standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax)
RF fundamentals (signal propagation, interference, channel planning)
Experience with:
- 802.1X authentication, WPA2/WPA3
- RADIUS-based systems
- Supporting large, multi-site enterprise environments
Preferred Qualifications:
- Aruba experience (Controllers, Central, AirWave, Mobility Conductors)

- Experience with network access control solutions (e.g., ClearPass)
- Wireless site survey tools (Ekahau, AirMagnet)
- Familiarity with automation tools (Python, Ansible)
- Experience with DoD networks or similar secure environments
- Exposure to multi-vendor wireless (Cisco, Juniper Mist, Ruckus)
Why This Role?:
- Work on mission-critical wireless networks supporting national defense.
