Job Details

Technical Consulting Engineer

Location : Remote

Duration : 12 months

Shift : Daytime (8-hour shifts between 8 AM - 8 PM)

Overview :

We are seeking Technical Consulting Engineers (TCEs) to provide high-level, reactive troubleshooting for one of the largest U.S. public sector customers. This role is entirely focused on escalation-level troubleshooting -not configuration, implementation, or design. Candidates must be the final escalation point for critical network issues, working in environments they have never previously seen.

As a TCE , you will be responsible for isolating and resolving complex technical issues, investigating network failures, and troubleshooting mission-critical networking infrastructure. You will be the go-to expert for a specific technology stack and must have a firefighter mentality -reactively solving urgent issues with no prior knowledge of the environment.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Serve as the highest level of technical escalation -if an issue cannot be resolved, there is no further escalation beyond this role.
  • 100% troubleshooting -no configuration, implementation, or deployment responsibilities.
  • Receive one case per day , close one case per day, and manage a backlog of 15-20 cases of varying complexity.
  • Engage directly with customers via phone, WebEx, chat, and email to diagnose and resolve technical issues.
  • Utilize physical and remote lab environments to simulate and test potential solutions.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and escalate insights to engineering groups when needed.
  • Use deep networking expertise to isolate root causes across multiple systems, troubleshooting network flows, misconfigurations, and critical failures.

Must-Have Skills :

Candidates must have deep expertise in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) :

  • Multi-pod / multi-site ACI expertise
  • Daily tools : Wireshark, packet captures, packet tracer, debugs / log analysis, Putty / SecureCRT
  • Tier 3 Escalation Experience - Must have prior experience in high-level troubleshooting and white-glove technical support .
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset - Must be able to reactively diagnose and solve issues without prior knowledge of the environment .
  • Sole U.S. Citizenship Required - This position supports U.S. Public Sector clients .
  • Day-to-Day Activities :

  • Case Management : Accept and resolve one complex case per day , managing a 15-20 case backlog .
  • Customer Interaction : Troubleshoot via phone, WebEx, chat, and email .
  • Problem Isolation : Identify root causes across complex network environments.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration : Work alongside internal support and engineering teams.
  • Lab Testing : Utilize remote and physical labs for troubleshooting.
  • This role is ideal for curious problem-solvers who thrive in a high-stakes troubleshooting environment. If you are an expert in ACI , have escalation-level troubleshooting experience , and are comfortable working in a 100% reactive support role , we encourage you to apply!
