New College Grad - ID1 IT Network Engineer

We are a fast‑moving, highly collaborative team supporting semiconductor manufacturing operations and the expansion of new manufacturing facilities. Our work directly enables factory uptime, engineering productivity, and safe, reliable operations. We are seeking a Network Engineer who is motivated to learn, enjoys hands‑on technical work, and thrives in a nuanced onsite environment. This role is well‑suited for an engineer early in their career who wants to build strong fundamentals in campus networking while gaining exposure to large‑scale manufacturing environments

The ID1 IT Network Engineer provides onsite operational support for campus LAN and wireless network infrastructure across manufacturing and office environments. The role focuses on hands‑on deployment, configuration, monitoring, and fixing of network equipment while developing technical skills under established standards and guidance from senior engineers.

This is a fully onsite position and requires regular presence in campus facilities, communications rooms, and production environments.

Responsibilities:

• Provide onsite support for campus LAN and wireless network infrastructure, operating as a developing individual contributor under the guidance of senior network engineers. Respond to network incidents, alarms, and service requests related to campus LAN and wireless services, performing initial triage and raising issues as appropriate. Participate in on‑call rotations, with mentoring from senior team members.

• Support the installation, configuration, and maintenance of campus switching and Wi‑Fi equipment and software, including access switches, wireless access points, and wireless LAN controllers. Perform hands‑on configuration and solving of switching technologies, including VLANs, trunking, access ports, port security, PoE, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), following existing standards and procedures.

• Assist with wireless (Wi‑Fi) operations, including access point deployment, controller configuration updates, RF troubleshooting, and validation of wireless coverage and connectivity.

• Support Cisco‑based and Arista‑based network environments, including VLAN configuration and participation in operational activities involving EVPN/VXLAN and BGP, with design and architecture direction provided by senior engineers.

• Assist with the operation of campus routing protocols, including EIGRP, with a focus on understanding routing behavior, adjacency issues, and operational impact.

• Implement approved network changes during maintenance windows, including switch installations, port activations, VLAN additions, and wireless updates, following peer review processes.

• Create and maintain accurate network documentation, including diagrams, port maps, and runbooks, reflecting onsite changes and deployments. Use network monitoring and management tools to validate network health, gather data, and support root cause analysis efforts.

• Apply AI-assisted and automation technologies to streamline network operations, reduce manual effort, improve service reliability, and accelerate solving and infrastructure delivery. Leverage AI-enabled tools, automation platforms, and large language models (LLMs) to improve operational efficiency, accelerate problem resolution, enhance decision-making, and drive continuous process improvement.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Cloud Computing, Network Engineering, or a related technical field.

• 1–2 years of experience in network engineering, infrastructure support, or a similar IT role.

• Solid understanding of: TCP/IP fundamentals and Ethernet networking, VLANs and basic switching concepts, campus routing fundamentals (e.g., EIGRP), and enterprise switching and wireless platforms (configuration, monitoring, or support).

• Experience working in onsite or operational IT environments, such as manufacturing, industrial, or campus settings.

• Physical & Onsite Requirements:

  • This position is primarily onsite and involves frequent presence on campus.

  • Ability to work in communications rooms, data closets, and industrial environments.

  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.

  • Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, climb ladders, and work in confined spaces as required for equipment installation and repairs.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Exposure to enterprise routing and network architectures, such as BGP, EVPN, or VXLAN.

• Familiarity with industrial or manufacturing networks, including OT or SCADA environments.

• Industry certifications such as CCNA or equivalent (or actively pursuing certification).

• Strong desire to learn, grow technical skills, and take on increasing responsibility over time.

• Ability to follow documented procedures, communicate clearly, and work effectively within a team.
