  • Profile A candidates need a proven track record in network troubleshooting and issue isolation.
  • Profile A candidates need operational experience with on-premises environments such as Linux servers and NAS storage.
  • Profile A candidates need experience coordinating with telecom carriers and network vendors.
  • Profile A candidates must be able to design and operate networks with a security-first mindset.
  • Profile A candidates must be willing to learn existing architectures and expand their scope to AWS design, modification, and testing.
  • Profile B candidates need at least 1.5 years of practical experience with AWS or Google Cloud infrastructure.
  • Profile B candidates need an AWS or Google Cloud certification at Associate level or equivalent.
  • Profile B candidates need experience driving projects forward, such as through project management office work, project leadership, or stakeholder coordination.
  • Profile B candidates must be willing to expand their scope to on-premises systems, private networks, and branch networks.
  • Basic networking knowledge, including TCP/IP, routing, and VLANs, will be assessed during the interview process.
  • Candidates are expected to balance technical judgment and design review with end-to-end project execution.
  • Basic technical communication in English is preferred but not required; fluent business English is not required.

Responsibilities

  • Design and operate internal local area networks, branch networks, and private closed networks.
  • Define network requirements for new office setups, relocations, and floor expansions.
  • Determine hardware configurations and equipment sizing based on user counts, device counts, traffic volume, required bandwidth, port density, power over Ethernet requirements, redundancy, and wireless access point density.
  • Design and operate Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
  • Configure and maintain virtual local area networks, routing protocols, and firewall rules.
  • Operate and manage FortiGate and Cisco Meraki network hardware.
  • Design and review connections between on-premises or private networks and Amazon Web Services network components, including virtual private clouds, subnets, route tables, security groups, network access control lists, virtual private networks, and Direct Connect.
  • Perform network troubleshooting and manage incident response.
  • Coordinate with telecom carriers and network vendors.
  • Plan and manage network projects, track issues, monitor progress, and coordinate across stakeholders.
  • Manage on-premises infrastructure such as Linux servers and network-attached storage.
  • Create and maintain network topology diagrams and standard operating procedures.
  • Design and operate networks with a strong focus on information security best practices.
  • In the medium to long term, design and review branch networks, private networks, on-premises infrastructure, and AWS connectivity as a unified network architecture.
  • Lead planning and execution of network projects from start to finish.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience defining network requirements for new office setups, relocations, or floor expansions based on user counts, device density, and traffic volume.
  • Experience determining router, firewall, switch, and wireless access point configurations and sizing based on bandwidth, port counts, power over Ethernet budgets, redundancy, and access point density.
  • A track record of planning network projects, managing issues and schedules, and coordinating with stakeholders.
  • Understanding of core AWS networking concepts, including virtual private clouds, subnets, route tables, security groups, network access control lists, virtual private networks, and Direct Connect, with the ability to discuss architecture, routing, and constraints between on-premises or private networks and AWS.
  • Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating AWS network environments.
  • Experience designing and operating hybrid connections between on-premises infrastructure and AWS via Direct Connect.
  • Experience designing network architectures that combine private closed networks with cloud environments.
  • AWS or Google Cloud certifications for Profile A candidates.
  • Hands-on setup and operation experience with FortiGate firewalls and Cisco Meraki devices.
  • Practical experience with virtual private network implementations and software-defined wide area networking technologies.
  • Experience designing and managing enterprise Wi-Fi or wireless local area network systems.
  • Experience building Linux servers, NAS, and storage infrastructure.
  • Technical knowledge of Google Cloud networking capabilities.
  • Experience operating networks in compliance with ISMS or other security standards, alongside network monitoring, log analysis, or security operations center operations.
  • Ability to engage in basic technical communication in English through chat, daily conversation, or explaining simple technical concepts.
  • Ability to clearly explain and justify right-sized hardware configurations based on branch requirements.

About the Company

AI Robot Association

Open robotics research association

AI Robot Association is best understood as an open research association working on foundation models for robotics. Researchers and engineers build datasets, training systems, evaluation methods, and embodied artificial-intelligence software. Its initiative brings together motion data, vision-language-action research, model development, and humanoid-robot experimentation. Roles may span machine learning, robotics, data engineering, simulation, infrastructure, research operations, and partnerships. The entity has a limited public footprint, so the profile stays close to its official research and recruiting materials.
