Cisco DNAC Network Engineer

As a Network Engineer, you will be responsible for leveraging your expertise in Cisco DNA Center to onboard, provision, and manage network devices such as routers, switches, wireless controllers, and access points. Your role will include in-depth utilization of Assurance features for network health monitoring, troubleshooting, and anomaly detection. Proficiency in Software-Defined Access (SDA) fabric design, implementation, and operations will be essential, covering border, control plane, and edge nodes. You will manage network policies, segmentation (Virtual Networks/VN), and security integrations, including Cisco ISE. Your responsibilities will also involve leveraging Automation features, templates, and workflows for efficient network operations. In terms of implementation and operations, you will lead the planning, deployment, and configuration of Cisco DNA Center solutions and related network infrastructure components. Developing and implementing standardized operating procedures (SOPs) and best practices for DNA Center management will be a key aspect of your role. Additionally, you will perform proactive monitoring, health checks, and capacity planning for the DNA Center appliance and managed network. As part of your troubleshooting and resolution responsibilities, you will act as an escalation point for complex network issues, conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for critical incidents, and collaborate with Cisco TAC and other vendors for advanced issue resolution. Furthermore, you will provide mentorship, guidance, training, and knowledge transfer to junior network engineers and operations teams. Creating comprehensive documentation, runbooks, and playbooks related to DNA Center operations will also be part of your duties. A certification in CCNP with Cisco Enterprise Design (ENSLD) is preferable for this role.,
