Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and driven Enterprise Network Engineer with deep Cisco expertise to support and develop our mission-critical network systems across both our high-performance factory and fast-paced trackside environments. You will play a key role in designing, deploying, and maintaining secure, resilient, and high-bandwidth infrastructure essential to real-time data transmission and operations during race weekends. This role offers a unique opportunity to blend advanced enterprise networking with the thrill of F1® - supporting both the long-term technical evolution at the factory and the immediate operational needs of the race team on location.
Responsibilities
* Design, deploy, and maintain LAN/WAN infrastructure, firewalls, VPNs, and Wi-Fi across factory departments
* Monitor and optimize network performance for Core Infrastructure, Campus Environments, R&D systems, simulator environments, wind tunnel connectivity, and CAD/PLM systems
* Ensure uptime and high-speed data connectivity between departments (design, aero, manufacturing, etc.)
* Work with security teams to implement and maintain robust cybersecurity policies and compliance
* Participate in network design and refresh projects, implementing Cisco best practices and technologies (Catalyst, Nexus, ISE, DNA Center)
* Ensure low-latency, secure data transmission between the car, trackside systems, and the factory for real-time telemetry and strategic decision-making
* Respond to operational issues swiftly under pressure, ensuring minimal downtime and disruption during critical sessions (practice, qualifying, race)
* Collaborate with vehicle performance, strategy, and IT teams to ensure all data pipelines are functioning to spec
Qualifications / What you need to bring to the team
* Proven experience in enterprise-level Cisco networking, ideally in high-pressure environments (Cisco CCNP or higher preferred)
* Strong knowledge of routing/switching (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP), firewalls (ASA, Firepower, Palo Alto), VLANs, QoS, and Cisco ISE/DNA Center
* Experience with wireless deployments (Cisco Meraki or equivalent) in high-density/temporary environments
* Ability to build and manage secure VPN tunnels and site-to-site connections globally
* Knowledge of cybersecurity principles, threat management, and network segmentation
* Experience with network monitoring tools (SolarWinds, PRTG, NetFlow) and scripting (Python, Ansible) is advantageous
* Strong problem-solving skills under pressure, especially during live events
* Willingness to travel internationally and work weekends during The F1® season
* Additional security checks may be required as part of the recruitment process (background check covering a minimum of the past five years and a criminal record check)
Note
We are building a high-performance, inclusive team with a focus on leadership in innovation and excellence. This role involves working in a fast-paced environment and may require weekend work during race events.
