Network Architect and Specialist

About the roleAgile Robots SE is seeking a Network Architect / Network Specialist to define and operate our global on‑premise network across multiple geographies and regional offices. You will lead the design and lifecycle of our campus, branch, and data‑center networks—including high‑performance NVIDIA InfiniBand fabrics that power AI/HPC workloads—while ensuring our controls meet TISAX expectations and internal ISMS requirementsYour Responsibilities1) Global Architecture & Standards (On‑Site Only)Design and document end‑to‑end on‑prem architectures (core/distribution/access/WLAN; DC leaf‑spine)Establish and maintain global standards: IP addressing & IPAM (NetBox), routing policy, QoS, naming, security baselines, and change control (HLD/LLD, MOP/SOP, rollback)Define network zoning & segmentation (VLAN/VRF; optional EVPN/VXLAN where justified) across Office and DMZ networks with clear trust boundaries2) Routing, Switching, WLAN & Regional SitesEngineer BGP/OSPF for WAN & DC; deliver redundancy/failover across carriers and sitesOwn Aruba campus/branch switching and WLAN (coverage, capacity planning, RF hygiene, roaming, WPA2/3‑Enterprise)Plan and execute site builds/moves/expansions (circuits, last‑mile, demarc, handoffs, cutovers) with measurable downtime windows3) Security, Remote Access & IdentityLead FortiGate policy architecture (zones, NAT, segmentation, IDS/IPS) and FortiGate VPN (IPsec/SSL) for site‑to‑site and remote access, including HA and posture checksImplement 802.1X NAC (e.g., Aruba ClearPass) with RADIUS/Active Directory integration; enforce device posture and guest segmentationOperate DMZ patterns (reverse proxying, jump hosts, constrained admin planes) and align with TISAX/ISMS requirements4) High‑Performance Networking for AI/HPCDesign, deploy, and maintain NVIDIA InfiniBand fabrics (topology, cabling/optics, partitioning), including subnet managers (UFM/opensm), congestion control, and path optimizationCoordinate with compute/storage teams (e.g., DGX/HPC clusters) on throughput, latency, and scale; plan upgrades and fabric expansions5) Reliability, Observability & AutomationDeliver high availability (fast convergence, dual‑homing, link aggregation/MLAG/VLT) and tested DR/failoverImplement proactive monitoring/alerting (e.g., Zabbix), telemetry/SNMP, and capacity trends; maintain RCAs and SLOsCentralize logging with rsyslog and FortiAnalyzer; enforce retention and integrity for auditsUse NetBox, Ansible/Python, and Git‑based workflows for configuration management, drift control, and repeatable changes6) Compliance, Risk & Vendor Management (TISAX Focus)Map network controls to TISAX expectations (ISMS governance, secure remote access, logging, supplier access, data protection)Partner with ISMS owner/CISO on risk assessments, controls testing, and evidence preparation for audits (policies, diagrams, logs, change records)Manage carriers and vendors (Fortinet, Aruba, Dell; integrators); lead RFPs, SLAs, and lifecycle planningMentor regional IT; act as L3 escalation for incidents and major changesCore Technologies @ Agile Robots SESecurity & Remote Access: FortiGate NGFW, FortiGate VPN (IPsec/SSL), FortiManager/FortiAnalyzerCampus/Branch & WLAN: Aruba CX/AOS switching, controllers/APs, ClearPass (802.1X), AirWave (on‑prem mgmt)Data Center & Fabric: Dell PowerSwitch (OS10), VLT/MLAG; NVIDIA InfiniBand (UFM/opensm).Foundational Services: VLAN/VRF, BGP/OSPF, QoS;
