Key Job Duties

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN & Roadside Edge Engineering
?

SD-WAN Orchestration: Design, configure, and manage the WAN overlay using Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (formerly vManage). Implement centralized control, data, and Application-Aware Routing (AAR) policies to optimize traffic path selection (e.g., prioritizing critical traffic signal data over video feeds).
?

Ruggedized Edge Deployment: Configure and deploy Cisco IR1101 Industrial Integrated Services Routers in roadside cabinets. Leverage the modularity of the IR1101 to manage dual-active cellular (LTE/5G) backhaul, fiber connections, and legacy serial connections.
? Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Develop and maintain bootstrap configurations and WAN Edge templates within Catalyst SD-WAN Manager to enable rapid, automated provisioning of IR1101 routers by field technicians.
?

Legacy Device Integration: Configure the IR1101?s serial interfaces and raw socket encapsulation to transport legacy serial-based Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) device data (e.g., older conflict monitors or loop detectors) over the modern IP/MPLS or SD-WAN network.
Palo Alto & Panorama Security Administration
?

Centralized Security Management: Utilize Palo Alto Panorama to manage device groups, templates, and security policies across all physical and virtual (VM-Series) firewalls deployed at the TMC, cloud egress points, and critical field hubs.
?

IT/OT Network Segmentation: Design and enforce strict Zero-Trust segmentation policies. Isolate critical traffic control systems (NTCIP), tolling systems (PCI-DSS compliant), and CCTV multicast streams from each other and from the corporate IT network.
?

Threat Prevention & Monitoring: Configure Palo Alto security profiles (IPS, Anti-Spyware, URL Filtering, and WildFire) to detect and block malicious activity targeting transportation infrastructure, including specialized signatures for industrial and IoT protocols.
TSMO Operations & Multicast Video Management
?

Multicast Optimization: Design and troubleshoot complex Layer 3 multicast networks (PIM-SM, IGMPv3) to ensure reliable, low-latency distribution of CCTV traffic camera feeds to the TMC, emergency operations centers, and media partners.
?

Network Performance Monitoring: Monitor network latency, jitter, and packet loss across the SD-WAN fabric using Catalyst SD-WAN Manager?s analytics tools to ensure real-time traffic management applications perform optimally.
?

Incident Response & Troubleshooting: Serve as the Tier 3 escalation point for complex network outages affecting roadside devices, fiber cuts, or cellular carrier outages.
Collaboration & Standards Compliance
?

Field Support: Partner with field technicians to troubleshoot physical layer issues (fiber optics, patch panels, antennas, and power supplies) inside roadside cabinets.
?

Standards Adherence: Ensure all network designs comply with FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) guidelines, NEMA TS-2 cabinet standards, and NIST SP 800-82 guidelines for industrial control systems security.
Operational Support 24/7/365 on a Rotation Basis
? Provide operational support 24/7/365 for the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and Palo Alto/Panorama environments.
