Senior Network Engineer - Wireless & Physical Security

Modern IT•La Verne, CA

5d•$150,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Build systems people can depend on. A dependable network gives people the confidence to get on with their work. At Modern IT, you will turn client needs into carefully implemented infrastructure—from network equipment and wireless coverage to internet connectivity, cameras, and physical access systems. You will develop designs for an architect’s approval, then own implementation, testing, and handoff. You will work with clients, colleagues, providers, and subcontractors to deliver environments that perform reliably and are straightforward to support.

Requirements

Network implementation and troubleshooting across routing, switching, firewalls, segmentation, and device connectivity, including UniFi and Meraki environments.
Wireless site surveys, design, deployment, and performance validation.
UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, IoT, and physical-security implementations.
ISP installations and migrations, including provider coordination, cutover planning, validation, and handoff.
Subcontractor coordination, quality inspection, and constructive resolution of deficient work.
Applying AI to engineering processes, such as test plans, documentation, and repeatable workflows. You validate technical outputs, protect client information, and remain responsible for the result.
Communicate clearly with clients and colleagues, work within architect-approved designs, and document systems so others can support them.

Nice To Haves

C-7 licensing or qualifying-individual experience is a strong advantage.
You can explain work you personally delivered: the design, approval process, implementation choices, testing, and handoff.

Responsibilities

Develop designs for architect approval and implement the approved solution. Own configuration, rack organization, power, patching, labeling, testing, and documentation. Escalate material design changes for approval.
Assess client needs and site conditions, develop designs, and validate coverage, capacity, roaming, security, and performance against how people use the space.
Implement standardized installations, upgrades, and migrations handed over by the vCIO, who develops the plan with telecom brokers. Coordinate provider readiness, site dependencies, cutover, validation, and handoff. Keep delivery records accurate to support the commercial process.
Develop and implement architect-approved UniFi Protect, UniFi Access, environmental sensor, and related IoT solutions. Validate agreed coverage, recording, permissions, connectivity, supported integrations, and failure behavior. Coordinate specialist dependencies.
Set clear scope and acceptance criteria, inspect work, and drive deficiencies to resolution. You can reject work that falls short of agreed standards; explain the gap respectfully and establish a practical correction plan that protects outcomes and relationships.
Deliver accurate as-built records, configuration documentation, test results, and a clear support handoff. Participate in complex escalations when needed and bring root-cause learning into future implementations.
Help develop a repeatable delivery capability: clear scopes, dependable subcontractor relationships, quality standards, and a practical plan for expanding what Modern IT can deliver.
Help colleagues apply these standards and build their delivery skills.
