Job Description
We are looking for a Cisco UCS / Data Center Network Engineer to assess and design the compute and network layer for enterprise VMware Cloud Foundation environments.

- Audit UCS domain policies, chassis configurations, server profiles and firmware baselines using Cisco Intersight.
- Design cluster strategies for mixed-generation UCS hardware (M6/M7) to resolve EVC constraints, and plan integration of UCS X-Series M7 nodes.
- Review NIC and vHBA layouts and design the move from standard vSwitches to VMware Distributed Switch (VDS).
- Troubleshoot VLAN and fabric issues across UCS and upstream switching, and document root causes.
- Evaluate server boot options, including UEFI HTTPS Boot, boot-from-SAN, local boot and Secure Boot.
- Produce UCS target-state design documents with findings, cluster models and network blueprints.
Required Skills
- Strong Cisco UCS experience across B, C and X-Series (M6/M7), Fabric Interconnects and VIC adapters.
- Hands-on Cisco Intersight (IMM or UCS Manager-managed): server profiles, templates and policies.
- Solid data center networking: VLANs, trunking, port channels, vPC and Cisco Nexus.
- SAN fundamentals: FC zoning, vHBA design and boot-from-SAN.
- Good understanding of ESXi networking on UCS (vNIC mapping, VDS, uplink and failover design).
Good to Have
- UEFI HTTPS/PXE boot and Secure Boot on UCS.
- Knowledge of VMware EVC and mixed-CPU clusters.
