• Configure and validate Cisco equipment prior to shipment and during on-site deployment.
• Perform physical patching between switches, patch panels, and edge devices.
• Follow and update migration templates and site-specific runbooks for routing and connectivity changes.
• Coordinate with site contacts and cabling vendors; handle patch cabling while overseeing third-party installations.
• Adjust and verify Cisco CLI configurations (VLANs, routing, IP addressing).
• Support testing, cutover execution, and troubleshooting during off-hours or migration weekends.
• Document existing configurations, identify dependencies, and note remediation needs.
• Assist with ongoing cleanup and configuration alignment across data centers and field sites.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to ensure designs and configurations comply with CMMC security standards.
