Chennai Corporation, Tamil Nadu, India

About the Role
The backbone of TD SYNNEX's global network is routing, switching, and increasingly SD-WAN. Across more than 100 countries, hundreds of sites, and three distinct regional engineering teams, the decisions made at the routing and switching layer — how traffic flows, how sites fail over, how edge connectivity is managed — touch everything. Today, those decisions are made regionally, without a global solutions-level owner who can set direction, resolve the hardest problems, and ensure consistency.
This role is that owner. As our Routing, Switching & SD-WAN Solutions Engineer based in India, you will serve as the global technical authority for network infrastructure design across all layers: campus and data center switching, WAN and carrier connectivity, and SD-WAN edge architecture. You will design solutions for the most complex network challenges in the environment, set global standards, and act as the senior escalation point for routing and switching issues that regional teams cannot resolve on their own.
This is a design and architecture role. You should be equally comfortable drawing a network topology, writing a technical standard, debugging a BGP route leak, and presenting a recommendation to leadership. We are not looking for someone who runs tickets — we are looking for someone who eliminates the class of problem that generates them.
