1 week ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom National Physical Laboratory Full time

Our world-leading Time & Frequency department is seeking a Senior Network Engineer with hands-on infrastructure and network design and implementation experience.

You will be joining our team at an exciting time - we maintain the UK's National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing a new resilient Time Scale facility that will underpin our Critical National Infrastructure. This will address the risks associated with our dependency on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.

You'll enjoy collaborating with prominent Scientists, Engineers, and Specialists in Cyber Security to design and implement network infrastructure to time, quality, and cost.

Key responsibilities:

  1. Design and Architecture: Develop comprehensive network designs that support the unique needs of scientific and engineering capabilities, ensuring robustness, scalability, and security.
  2. Build and Specification: Oversee the specification, selection, and procurement of networking equipment, ensuring compatibility and integration with existing and future scientific instruments.
  3. Configuration and Implementation: Configure and deploy networking solutions, including routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices, tailored to the specific requirements of each project.
  4. Security Hygiene: Keep up to date with and apply best practice, collaborating with security specialists.
  5. Testing: Execute integration tests where appropriate, meticulously documenting and analysing results to identify potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement.
  6. Troubleshooting and Support: Provide expert-level troubleshooting for complex network issues, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal performance of scientific equipment and IT infrastructure.
  7. Collaboration and Leadership: Work closely with scientific, engineering, and IT leadership to ensure technology solutions align with research objectives. Mentor junior staff and lead by example in technical excellence.
  8. Quality Assurance Coordination: Maintain meticulous records to support quality assurance processes.
  9. Stakeholder Engagement: Engage with a diverse array of stakeholders to ensure networking requirements are met and understood.

This role offers exciting opportunities to collaborate with subject-matter experts across the business.

Essential:

  • Hands-on experience of installing, testing and integrating network equipment
  • Relevant academic and professional qualifications, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Experience with IT and network infrastructure (servers, switches, firewalls, WAN, LAN, routers, proxy servers), their management software, IT, security tooling setup, and applying policy-based processes
  • Design and commission of systems, aligned with standards and certifications
  • Cyber security hygiene practices and technology
  • Experience with network monitoring software/tools
  • Cloud-native products, virtualisation, containerisation, and databases technologies installation and management
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts
  • Team player with a proactive, never-fail attitude in the face of ambiguous situations

Highly-desirable:

  • Experience of Microsoft Azure DevOps
  • Agile working practices
  • Interest in Physics, measurements, and communications, for example:
    • Time and frequency measurement and time scale steering
    • Real-time monitoring and control of electronic hardware
    • Satellite communication, optical fibre and GNSS-based systems

We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert, therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
