Job responsibilities

Position Summary:
As a Networking Architect at our client, you will lead the design and implementation of scalable, secure, and resilient communication networks for our energy automation devices and platforms. Your background in MPLS-TP will be instrumental in developing mission-critical, carrier-grade transport networks to support real-time operations across substations, control centers, and distributed energy assets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and design communication networks incorporating MPLS-TP for high-availability, low-latency data transport in power systems.
• Define network architecture and topologies for RTUs, IEDs, digital substations, SCADA systems, and IoT-enabled edge devices.
• Collaborate with system, hardware, and software teams to integrate MPLS-TP functionality into embedded devices and infrastructure.
• Develop secure and redundant network solutions adhering to NERC CIP, IEC 61850, and IEEE standards.
• Perform end-to-end system analysis, capacity planning, traffic engineering, and Quality of Service (QoS) configuration.
• Integrate MPLS-TP-based networks with other protocols and technologies (e.g., IP/MPLS, Ethernet, IEC 60870-5-104, GOOSE, MMS).
• Lead field trials, proof-of-concept implementations, and customer solution workshops.
