Must Have Key skills:

- Design and implement reliable wireless architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick)

- Configure VLAN tagging, trunking, and multi-SSID routing

- Perform RCA for network outages and improve uptime

- Monitor network via SNMP, syslog, dashboards (99.9%+ availability)

- Conduct wireless site surveys (Ekahau/AirMagnet), RF analysis, and optimization

- Ensure coverage planning, interference mitigation, and SLA validation

- Implement redundancy & failover mechanisms (controller/AP, DHCP resilience)

- Solid knowledge of 802.11 standards, WPA2/WPA3, 802.1X, Cisco/Aruba WLAN solution

- Designed and implemented highly reliable wireless network architectures using APOS (Access Point on Stick) deployment models.

- Configured VLAN tagging, trunking, and routing on access points to support multi‑SSID environments efficiently.

- Performed root cause analysis (RCA) for network outages and implemented corrective actions to improve uptime.

- Monitored network health using tools (SNMP, syslog, dashboards) to ensure 99.9%+ availability.

- Optimized RF performance and channel utilization to reduce interference and improve reliability.

- Implemented redundancy and failover mechanisms (controller/AP failover,



DHCP resilience).

Wireless Survey & Optimization:

- Conducted site surveys (pre‑deployment & post‑deployment) using tools like Ekahau / AirMagnet.

- Performed RF coverage analysis, heatmaps creation, and capacity planning for enterprise environments.

- Identified and mitigated RF interference, dead zones, and co-channel interference issues.

- Recommended optimal AP placement, power levels, and channel assignments for maximum coverage and performance.

- Executed wireless troubleshooting (latency, packet loss, roaming issues).

- Validated network performance against SLA requirements and user density expectations.

Added Value Skills:

- Expertise in 802.11 standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and wireless security (WPA2/WPA3, 802.1X).

- Experience with controller-based and cloud wireless solutions (Cisco, Aruba, etc.).

- Strong understanding of QoS, roaming optimization, and load balancing in WLANs.
