About the role

RedCloud seeks a Senior Controls & Industrial Network Engineer to support immediate client operations.

• Port Mapping & Network Integration: Author canonical, single-source-of-truth port mapping procedures and allocation matrices for regional deployments. Enforce site naming standards, VLAN/IP schema isolation, and downstream SCADA integration rules.
• System Reliability & SCADA Hardening: Develop zero-downtime firmware upgrade and rollback procedures for industrial Ethernet switches (Cisco IOS-XE, Moxa). Resolve complex network integrations using Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP).

Requirements

• Background in control systems, network engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in data center OT or industrial control networks.
• Network & Hardware Mastery: Deep technical expertise with industrial ethernet switches (Cisco Catalyst IE series, Arista, Juniper, Moxa), fiber optic distribution (MTP/MPO, LC, FOSE), and industrial power systems (110–125 VDC dual-sourced arrays).
• Protocols: Technical understanding of Layer 3 IP routing, VXLAN, BGP, EIGRP, REP, PRP, and STP.
• SCADA Infrastructure: Understanding of BACnet (BBMD, MS/TP) and Ethernet/IP gateways.
• Industrial Cybersecurity: Experience evaluating and integrating passive Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) and enforcing network segmentation between OT devices and core network assets.
• Tools & Documentation: Proficiency with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), network drawing reviews, structured port mapping tools, and technical documentation.
• Legal ability to work in the United States; RedCloud does not provide visa sponsorship.
