Engineering, or equivalent practical experience/certifications (e.g., CCNA, Network+).Manager View about this position: Are the three openings interchangeable, or does each support a different team or set of responsibilities? 3 roles, doing the exact same thing, firmware testing certification, security vulnerabilities, he keeps pushing them back. Working on nokia and juniper. What will these engineers spend most of their time doing in the first 90 days (configuration, lab testing, installations, troubleshooting, automation)? Immediately jumping into nokia firmware regression, they have defined test plans, they have everything in place as far as existing tests, so they just need folks to come in to run them. nokia and juniper would definitely be helpful, cisco is not needed and doesn't translate well. From our earlier conversations, enterprise CPE and service-provider networking were important. Are those still the main priorities? service network provider experience is helpful, NOC technicians will not work that is out of scope, hands on experience with configuration would be very very helpful. What are the top 2–3 must-have skills that matter more than the generic job description? Any specific vendors, platforms, or protocols? Juniper or nokia, troubleshooting exp in a network, understanding how things work, figuring out the different testing challenges, hands on configuration is def a must - noc technician would be OUT OF SCOPE
