The Arista Wireless SME is a senior, hands-on technical leadership role within a professional IT services organization, serving as the technical authority for enterprise wireless architecture. This position demands deep expertise in Arista's next-generation wireless platforms, specifically designing, deploying, and supporting Arista Cognitive Wi-Fi and CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) solutions.
You will operate as both an architect and a hands-on technical mentor, blending solution design, field deployment leadership, pre-sales technical scoping, and escalation support. The role is critical for guiding delivery teams through complex transitions from legacy Wi-Fi environments to Arista's cloud-native, AI/ML-driven cognitive networking capabilities.
Your work will span the entire lifecycle of wireless engagements. You will design enterprise-grade solutions leveraging Arista's cognitive networking, including multi-radio AP deployments supporting Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, zero-touch onboarding, and high-density coverage models. You will develop high-level and low-level designs that incorporate RF planning, capacity analysis, and Zero Trust security configurations.
Beyond design, you will lead deployment efforts in customer environments, mentoring junior engineers on zero-touch provisioning and the implementation of automated remediation features. You will also engage directly in pre-sales scoping calls to estimate effort for discovery and cutover phases, and serve as the primary escalation point for complex issues involving spectrum conditions, automation orchestration failures, or cross-domain wired/wireless convergence.
This is a 90-day contract-to-hire opportunity with the potential to convert to a full-time employee with benefits. Candidates will be evaluated on their ability to demonstrate hands-on expertise with Arista platforms and their capacity to lead technical teams in real-world scenarios.
