Network Architect / Senior Network Engineer

Experience Level : 9-12Yrs

Work Location: Remote

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Network Architect / Senior Network Engineer to analyze, redesign, and modernize our enterprise network infrastructure across multiple clinic locations. The successful candidate will evaluate the current flat IP addressing scheme, design a scalable and secure segmented network architecture, and develop an implementation roadmap that improves security, operational visibility, troubleshooting, and site-level management.

This role requires a hands-on engineer with strong Cisco networking expertise who can independently assess existing environments, develop network architecture standards, and execute network transformation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

Network Assessment & Architecture

• Analyze the existing network topology, IP addressing structure, routing, switching, and security architecture.
• Evaluate the current flat IP schema and identify risks, limitations, and opportunities for improvement.
• Design a scalable, secure, and standardized network architecture across multiple clinic locations.
• Create a network segmentation strategy using VLANs, subnets, routing policies, and security controls.
• Develop a site-specific IP addressing framework with dedicated IP ranges for each clinic or office location.
• Produce network diagrams, architecture documentation, and technical design specifications.

Network Segmentation & Security

• Design and implement logical network segmentation to improve:
• Security
• Compliance
• Device isolation
• Traffic management
• User and device visibility
• Define inter-VLAN routing and access control policies.
• Recommend best practices for network access control, firewall integration, and secure communications.
• Ensure network designs support future growth and acquisitions.

DHCP, DNS & IP Management

• Redesign and optimize DHCP scopes and IP allocation strategies.
• Update network services impacted by the new IP schema including:
• DHCP
• DNS
• VLAN configurations
• Routing tables
• Network monitoring systems
• Develop migration plans that minimize user and application downtime.

Implementation & Project Delivery

• Develop a phased implementation plan and migration strategy.
• Coordinate network changes with IT infrastructure, security, systems, and operations teams.
• Lead network deployment activities including testing, validation, cutover, and post-implementation support.
• Create rollback procedures and risk mitigation plans.
• Verify network performance and stability following implementation.

Operational Support

• Provide advanced troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for network-related issues.
• Support Cisco-based network infrastructure including switches, routers, wireless systems, and firewalls.
• Establish network standards, monitoring practices, and operational documentation.
• Mentor junior network engineers and provide technical guidance when needed.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of enterprise networking experience.
• 3+ years designing and implementing network architecture solutions.
• Strong experience with Cisco networking technologies.
• Deep understanding of:
• TCP/IP
• Routing and Switching
• VLAN Design
• Network Segmentation
• DHCP
• DNS
• VPN Technologies
• Network Security Principles
• Experience designing multi-site WAN/LAN environments.
• Strong network assessment, documentation, and planning skills.
• Experience leading infrastructure implementation projects.
• Ability to create detailed migration and implementation plans.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cisco CCNP Enterprise or CCIE certification.
• Experience with healthcare environments, clinics, or HIPAA-regulated networks.
• Experience with Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, Meraki, and Cisco Firepower solutions.
• Knowledge of SD-WAN architectures.
• Familiarity with network monitoring and management tools.
• Experience with cloud networking (Azure and/or AWS).

Key Deliverables

The selected consultant/engineer will be expected to deliver:

1. Current-State Network Assessment Report
2. Future-State Network Architecture Design
3. Segmentation and VLAN Strategy
4. Site-Specific IP Addressing Plan
5. DHCP/DNS Configuration Recommendations
6. Security and Network Access Design
7. Migration and Cutover Plan
8. Risk Assessment and Rollback Strategy
9. Updated Network Documentation and Diagrams
10. Post-Implementation Validation Report

Ideal Candidate Profile

We are looking for an analytical, project-oriented network professional who can architect solutions and drive implementation from assessment through deployment. This is not a help desk or ticket-queue position. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with strong Cisco expertise who can evaluate complex environments, recommend improvements, and successfully execute network transformation initiatives across multiple locations.
