  • Participate actively during team meetings and reach out independently to other team members, sharing knowledge and assisting in troubleshooting.
  • Identify and prepare information for posting on the technical support web site and/or inclusion in technical documentation.

    •  LAN / WAN equipment installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
  • Self-motivated quick learner with enthusiasm for customer satisfaction.
  • Hands-on experience with network protocol analyzers (NetMon, Wireshark, etc.).
  • Strong working knowledge of various Operating Systems, including installation, configuration, and authentication methods; (Windows, iOS, OSX, and Android)
  • Understanding of virtualization software is a plus; (VMWare, Nutanix, etc.)
  • A demonstrated passion for problem-solving and technology.
  • General understanding of authentication methods such as NTLM, SAML, RADIUS, PKI specifically PEAP, PEAP-TLS and RSA token methods.
  • Experience in configuring wireless networks and VPNs.
