Network Reliability Engineer With APOS

Must Have Key Skills

• Design and implement reliable wireless architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick)
• Configure VLAN tagging, trunking, and multi-SSID routing
• Perform RCA for network outages and improve uptime
• Monitor network via SNMP, syslog, dashboards (99.9%+ availability)
• Conduct wireless site surveys (Ekahau/AirMagnet), RF analysis, and optimization
• Ensure coverage planning, interference mitigation, and SLA validation
• Implement redundancy & failover mechanisms (controller/AP, DHCP resilience)
• Strong knowledge of 802.11 standards, WPA2/WPA3, 802.1X, Cisco/Aruba WLAN solution
• Designed and implemented highly reliable wireless network architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick) deployment models.
• Configured VLAN tagging, trunking, and routing on access points to support multi‑SSID environments efficiently.
• Performed root cause analysis (RCA) for network outages and implemented corrective actions to improve uptime.
• Monitored network health using tools (SNMP, syslog, dashboards) to ensure 99.9%+ availability.
• Optimized RF performance and channel utilization to reduce interference and improve reliability.
• Implemented redundancy and failover mechanisms (controller/AP failover, DHCP resilience).
  
  

• Conducted site surveys (pre‑deployment & post‑deployment) using tools like Ekahau / AirMagnet.
• Performed RF coverage analysis, heatmaps creation, and capacity planning for enterprise environments.
• Identified and mitigated RF interference, dead zones, and co-channel interference issues.
• Recommended optimal AP placement, power levels, and channel assignments for maximum coverage and performance.
• Executed wireless troubleshooting (latency, packet loss, roaming issues).
• Validated network performance against SLA requirements and user density expectations.
  
  

• Expertise in 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and wireless security (WPA2/WPA3, 802.1X).
• Experience with controller-based and cloud wireless solutions (Cisco, Aruba, etc.).
• Strong understanding of QoS, roaming optimization, and load balancing in WLANs.
