Senior Network Administrator

Trigyn's direct government client has an immediate need for Senior Network Administrator in Albany, NY.

Key Job Duties:

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN & Roadside Edge Engineering
? SD-WAN Orchestration: Design, configure, and manage the WAN overlay using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (formerly vManage). Implement centralized control, data, and Application-Aware Routing (AAR) policies to optimize traffic path selection (e.g., prioritizing critical traffic signal data over video feeds).
? Ruggedized Edge Deployment: Configure and deploy Cisco IR1101 Industrial Integrated Services Routers in roadside cabinets. Leverage the modularity of the IR1101 to manage dual-active cellular (LTE/5G) backhaul, fiber connections, and legacy serial connections.
? Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Develop and maintain bootstrap configurations and WAN Edge templates within Catalyst SD-WAN Manager to enable rapid, automated provisioning of IR1101 routers by field technicians.
? Legacy Device Integration: Configure the IR1101?s serial interfaces and raw socket encapsulation to transport legacy serial-based Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) device data (e.g., older conflict monitors or loop detectors) over the modern IP/MPLS or SD-WAN network.

Palo Alto & Panorama Security Administration
? Centralized Security Management: Utilize Palo Alto Panorama to manage device groups, templates, and security policies across all physical and virtual (VM-Series) firewalls deployed at the TMC, cloud egress points, and critical field hubs.
? IT/OT Network Segmentation: Design and enforce strict Zero-Trust segmentation policies. Isolate critical traffic control systems (NTCIP), tolling systems (PCI-DSS compliant), and CCTV multicast streams from each other and from the corporate IT network.
? Threat Prevention & Monitoring: Configure Palo Alto security profiles (IPS, Anti-Spyware, URL Filtering, and WildFire) to detect and block malicious activity targeting transportation infrastructure, including specialized signatures for industrial and IoT protocols.

TSMO Operations & Multicast Video Management
? Multicast Optimization: Design and troubleshoot complex Layer 3 multicast networks (PIM-SM, IGMPv3) to ensure reliable, low-latency distribution of CCTV traffic camera feeds to the TMC, emergency operations centers, and media partners.
? Network Performance Monitoring: Monitor network latency, jitter, and packet loss across the SD-WAN fabric using Catalyst SD-WAN Manager?s analytics tools to ensure real-time traffic management applications perform optimally.
? Incident Response & Troubleshooting: Serve as the Tier 3 escalation point for complex network outages affecting roadside devices, fiber cuts, or cellular carrier outages.

Collaboration & Standards Compliance
? Field Support: Partner with field technicians to troubleshoot physical layer issues (fiber optics, patch panels, antennas, and power supplies) inside roadside cabinets.
? Standards Adherence: Ensure all network designs comply with FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) guidelines, NEMA TS-2 cabinet standards, and NIST SP 800-82 guidelines for industrial control systems security.

Operational Support 24/7/365 on a Rotation Basis
? Provide operational support 24/7/365 for the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and Palo Alto/Panorama environments.

Mandatory Qualifications:
? Maintains computer infrastructures with emphasis on networking. Key areas of expertise are with on-site servers, software-network interactions and network integrity/resilience.
? Candidate is able to work independently, without assistance and provides guidance to others. May have an advanced education.

? 72 months experience in enterprise - grade network administration. This includes configuring and troubleshooting LAN and WAN Networking equipment in a complex networking environment of at least 1,000 remote endpoints that includes switches, routers/firewalls and VPN devices. This includes troubleshooting issues using protocol analysis tools (i.e. Wireshark) and conducting analysis on network data captures.
? 72 months experience with Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, including Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, Controllers, and Validator. This includes build and deploy localized and centralized policies, keeping firmware up to date and standardizing device configuration.
? 72 months experience with administration of Palo Alto NGFWs and Panorama. Experience with VM-Series firewalls in public/private clouds is a plus.
? 60 months experience with Cisco IR1101 hardware, including IOS-XE SD-WAN software, expansion modules, and cellular configuration
? 60 months experience with routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), IPsec VPNs, Quality of Service (QoS), and Multicast (PIM, IGMP).
? 36 months experience with NTCIP 1202 (traffic signals), NTCIP 1203 (dynamic message signs), and video streaming protocols (H.264/H.265, RTSP)
? 36 months experience in an Operational Technology (OT), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), or TSMO environment managing roadside communications (fiber, wireless, cellular).

Must hold one of the following:
? Cisco: Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP Enterprise) and/or Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise SD-WAN Implementation (300-415 ENSDWI).
