As a member of this team, you will be part of a collaborative team to provide support during critical network issues as well as leading a caseload of lower critical issues, specifically with ISE.

Day to Day Responsibilities:

The successful High Touch Technical Services Engineer will effectively assess the customer’s situation and help develop an action plan that will result in a resolution. This is an operations role, not a design/architecture role. This is heavy interaction with their federal customers and troubleshooting the issues, via phone, chat, email. This role is NOT a help desk role. This person will be doing higher level troubleshooting that requires the SME to be very technical, working with multi-vendor, integrated solutions.

Engineers can sit anywhere in the US, but will need to provide support during 2nd and 3rd shift (EST):

2nd Shift: 5pm-1am EST

3rd Shift: 12:30am-8:30am EST

• 50% of the day (4 hrs) will be spent taking customer calls for support that fall within the network monitoring space. This will be operational and reactive. As cases

  come in, this person will work them to resolution according to priority level.

• 50% of the day (4 hrs) will be spent working backlogs (cases that have accumulated and need to be resolved). This may involve working with other engineers

  and/or in the virtual lab to reverse-engineer the customer's issue to derive troubleshooting steps for resolution.

ISE takes care of and supports BYOD. When you bring a new device on, ISE installs everything you need prior to access. This person should be able to set that up and troubleshoot if something is no longer working.

The protocols ISE uses (RADIUS), IEEE 802.1x, and TACACS) have to be configured not within ISE but within the actual protocol settings. This is the same with WLC's. Also helpful to know how to do and interpret packet captures-set up Wireshark on a network and be able to configure 802.1x authentication on the wireless controller.

Example of client issue: problem is on the client's computer-engineer needs to know how to go into settings on WLC, determine if there is a firewall blocking traffic, or check the ISE configuration. Due to this, it will be helpful for someone to understand basic networking and routing and switching. Understanding network access devices (switches) will also be helpful. Having CCNA level knowledge with more emphasis on switching side-also helpful. This engineer needs to have experience working with complex networks with complex designs that require Tier 3 configuration and troubleshooting support of ISE, WLC, and 802.1x protocol. An example ISE configuration is comprised of the following steps:

1.Configure and deploy client provisioning services.

2.Configure authorization policies.

3.Configure posture policies.

4.Configure Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) remediation.
