  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and professional experience

  • 15+ years of experience as a Sales Engineer or systems integrator

  • Hands-on experience in installing, configuring, and managing routers, switches, and network security technologies

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
