The engineer is expected to independently handle routine-to-complex network changes and troubleshooting, contribute to design decisions, and partner with senior engineers or architects on larger initiatives. The ideal candidate thrives in environments where uptime, performance, segmentation, and security are important and is comfortable supporting event-driven, operationally critical activities.\n\nWhile the environment is Cisco-leaning, strong experience with other enterprise networking platforms is valued, and candidates are not required to have exclusively Cisco backgrounds.\nResponsibilities\nDesign, implement, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure, including Layer 2/3 switching, routing, wireless, WAN, and high-availability solutions, in alignment with established network architectures and standards\nConfigure and optimize routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, site-to-site and site-to-cloud connectivity, VPNs, and SD-WAN to ensure scalable, resilient, and reliable communications\nConfigure and maintain network segmentation using VLANs, VRFs, ACLs, firewalls, NAC/802.1X, and zero-trust-aligned access controls to protect corporate, manufacturing, laboratory, restricted, and guest environments\nMonitor network health, availability, capacity, and performance; troubleshoot issues across Layers 1-7; and implement improvements to minimize downtime and maintain operational continuity\nProvide network support during test campaigns, mission-critical activities, and other time-sensitive operations; participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews\nPartner with Security and Compliance teams to implement security controls, logging, monitoring, and documentation that support applicable requirements, including ITAR, NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC\nDevelop and maintain network automation using tools such as Python, Ansible, and Terraform, and support monitoring and telemetry solutions to improve configuration consistency, visibility, and operational efficiency\nExecute firmware upgrades, hardware refreshes, capacity planning, and infrastructure expansions while supporting new site builds, relocations, and laboratory deployments\nConfigure and optimize QoS and, where applicable, precision-timing technologies such as PTP/IEEE 1588 and 802.1AS to support latency-sensitive telemetry, control systems, and other critical workloads\nMaintain accurate network diagrams, IP address management records, configurations, and operational runbooks while collaborating with Infrastructure, Security, Facilities, IT Operations, and senior network engineering teams\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n3+ years of hands-on network engineering or network administration experience in production environments\nHands-on experience supporting multi-site, on-prem, and cloud-adjacent networks\nExperience working in change-controlled, security-sensitive, or similarly structured production environments\nStrong working knowledge of Layer 2/3 networking technologies including VLANs, trunking, STP, link aggregation, OSPF, and familiarity with BGP\nHands-on experience implementing and supporting high-availability technologies such as HSRP/VRRP, MLAG, or stacking\nWorking knowledge of network segmentation, VRFs, ACLs, and exposure to NAC or 802.1X\nExperience with enterprise wireless networks, VPNs, and WAN connectivity\nStrong troubleshooting skills across multi-site or distributed network environments\nExperience in Cisco-leaning environments, including traditional enterprise platforms and Meraki or other cloud-managed solutions. Experience with other enterprise networking platforms (for example Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Aruba, or similar) is also acceptable\n\nPreferred Skills and Experience\n\n5+ years of hands-on network engineering or network administration experience in production environments\nIndustry certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent hands-on experience\nExperience with SD-WAN, data center fabrics, or EVPN/VXLAN\nFamiliarity with precision time protocols (PTP / IEEE 1588, 802.1AS) and QoS or traffic engineering\nExperience with automation frameworks, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code concepts\nExperience in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or other regulated, mission-critical environments\n\nAdditional Information:\nCompensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.\nImpulse Space’s spacecraft manufacturing business is subject to U.S. export regulations including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
