We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Network Architect to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of the network infrastructure supporting large-scale Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Operation and Maintenance contracts. In this critical role, you will ensure the highest levels of availability across complex WAN and LAN environments, managing multi-vendor integrations to support the region's growing transportation infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture & Design: Lead the design and architecture of complex ITS and enterprise network solutions, ensuring scalability, performance, and security across extensive road and tunnel networks.
• SLA & Performance Management: Conduct rigorous performance analysis and capacity planning to ensure optimal network performance, taking ownership of strict SLA frameworks and 99.999% availability targets for critical infrastructure.
• System Integration: Oversee the integration of multi-vendor network management systems (including Huawei e-Sight, NCE-T, and SolarWinds) with unified asset management and alerting platforms (such as IBM Maximo and Mattermost).
• Stakeholder Coordination: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including client representatives, subcontractors, and adjoining project teams (e.g., managing cross-contract interface boundaries and tunnel access switch responsibilities).
• Documentation & Reporting: Develop and maintain meticulous network topology diagrams, official technical reports, and baseline survey documentation in professional English.
• Automation & Security: Implement software-defined networking (SDN) and network automation solutions. Design and oversee robust network security measures, including firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems.
• Leadership & Continuity: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, manage vendor relationships, and maintain comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity plans.

Desired Candidate Profile

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 8+ years of experience in network engineering and architecture, with a strong preference for backgrounds in large-scale ITS infrastructure and comprehensive O&M contracts.
• Technical Mastery: Expert knowledge of network protocols (TCP/IP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS) and extensive experience with WAN technologies and optimization techniques.
• Platform Expertise: Proven hands-on experience with NMS/EMS platforms (SolarWinds, Huawei ecosystem) and familiarity with cloud networking platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Security & Automation: Demonstrated expertise in network security (firewall configuration, VPNs) and proficiency in SDN and automation tools.
• Communication: Strong English communication skills, with a proven ability to draft high-quality official correspondence, technical reports, and explain complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Project Management: Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to lead complex implementation projects and resolve interface challenges between differing scopes of work.
• Certifications: Professional certifications such as CCIE, CCNP, or equivalent are highly desired. Familiarity with national transportation authority network compliance standards and best practices is a significant advantage.
