• Design and optimize solutions for scalability, resilience, service continuity, performance, and secure connectivity.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor in customer engagements, workshops, demonstrations, proposals, and executive discussions.
• Drive cross-functional and multi-vendor integration, ensuring interface alignment, interoperability, and end-to-end service assurance.
• Coordinate technical plans, dependencies, sequencing, risks, and mitigation actions across multiple domains.
• Translate customer requirements and constraints into tailored, commercially compelling solutions while supporting business growth.

• Strong IP networking skills, including routing and switching, traffic engineering, QoS, redundancy, latency, isolation, backhaul, fronthaul, and secure transport architectures.
• Understanding of device ecosystems, provisioning, lifecycle management, MDM solutions, security enforcement, and application control.
• Knowledge of cloud and on-premises infrastructure, including compute, storage, networking, virtualization, containerization, orchestration, data centers, cabling, power, and connectivity.
• Understanding of BSS integrations such as Active Directory, billing, mediation, and provisioning, together with core-network domains including Packet Core, DNS, APN, and PCRF/QoS enforcement.
• Awareness of RAN dependencies and their impact on service performance and coverage, including satellite communication integration with terrestrial networks.
• Strong customer-facing communication, presentation, solution-justification, collaboration, and technical leadership skills.
• Experience designing and assessing complex, resilient, end-to-end mission-critical network solutions.
• Experience with testing and validation tools such as VIAVI and MiW, including KPI validation, performance verification, troubleshooting, and service-assurance methodologies.
• Proven experience managing multi-vendor ecosystems involving application providers, device vendors, infrastructure suppliers, and testing-tool providers.
• Experience managing interdependencies between MCPTT, dispatching systems, MDM platforms, core and RAN domains, and testing and assurance tools.
• Experience leading technical planning, risk management, customized solution development, and delivery alignment across customer, vendor, and internal teams.
