Lead Engineer at trace3 · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

SUMMARY OF ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:
Serve as the onsite engineering lead and primary technical coordination point for system implementation and troubleshooting.
Translate approved architecture principles, engineering standards, reference designs, and technology roadmaps into detailed system designs and engineering tasks.
Assess enterprise architecture, performance, capacity, resiliency, security, dependencies, and failure domains across enterprise, data-center, HPC, manufacturing, test, and remote-site environments.
Develop detailed system designs, bills of material, migration procedures, implementation plans, test plans, and operational-readiness checklists; coordinate required technical reviews and approvals.
Lead technical discovery, design reviews, and implementation risk assessments; evaluate alternatives and recommend solutions to the appropriate technical authority.
Ensure architectural solutions meet requirements for routing, switching, segmentation, security, high availability, remote access, inter-site connectivity, observability, and disaster recovery.
Lead troubleshooting for complex system incidents and performance issues, coordinate root-cause analysis and corrective actions, and escalate unresolved issues as needed.
Implement and maintain configuration, documentation, monitoring, and operational standards that improve consistency, supportability, and service performance.
Prepare and deliver briefings to senior leadership within the organization and at the customer on engineering status, technical decisions, risks, dependencies, trade-offs, and recommended actions. Tailor technical detail to the audience and clearly identify decisions and support needed; communicate relevant outcomes to program leadership, project managers, and engineering teams.
Work directly with local project management and remote engineering and architecture teams to align technical delivery with project schedules, resolve dependencies and implementation issues, and coordinate design clarifications and required approvals. Coordinate engineering tasks and implementation sequencing across network, security, systems, storage, facilities, DevOps, application, and program teams.
Guide day-to-day engineering work, review configurations and technical deliverables, mentor engineers, and reinforce network engineering practices across the program.
