- You have experience with TCP/IP and network routing protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS) and the devices of the physical infrastructure
- You've authored and executed high-risk MOPs and led root cause analysis on significant network events through closure
- You hold OEMs, ODMs, and deployment partners to a standard, and you enforce it without breaking the relationship
