What are the responsibilities and job description for the Network Engineer position at CDW Amplified Services?
Network Engineer (Enterprise Infrastructure)
Onsite - Manhattan, NY
CDW Contract - through the end of the year
CDW is seeking a hands-on Network Engineer to support office buildouts, device configuration, and day-to-day network operations across enterprise environments. This role is heavily focused on initial device deployment, configuration, and integration, working alongside vendors and remote hands teams to bring new sites online.
This is not a pure support role-we're looking for someone who can own device configuration and onboarding end-to-end.
What You'll Do
Lead network setup for new office builds, including initial device configuration and deployment
Configure and onboard routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless infrastructure
Work with vendors and remote hands teams to execute physical installations and ensure proper setup
Add and manage firewalls within centralized management platforms (e.g., Panorama)
Configure and integrate Cisco switches, including onboarding into network access control systems (ISE)
Support and manage SD-WAN environments (e.g., Meraki or similar platforms)
Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve network performance and connectivity issues
Assist with network upgrades, migrations, and infrastructure projects
Maintain accurate network documentation and configuration standards
What You Bring
4-7 years of network engineering experience in enterprise environments
Strong hands-on experience configuring network devices (routers, switches, firewalls) from the ground up
Proven experience deploying initial configurations for new network environments
Deep understanding of TCP/IP, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), and Layer 2 technologies (VLANs, STP, LACP, HSRP)
Experience with Cisco routing and switching platforms
Hands-on experience with firewall configuration and centralized management (e.g., Panorama)
Experience integrating Cisco switches into ISE or similar NAC solutions
Experience working with or managing SD-WAN technologies (Meraki or similar)
Strong troubleshooting skills using tools such as packet captures
Ability to work independently while coordinating with vendors and cross-functional teams
Nice to Have
Experience with Cisco ACI or other SDN technologies
Wireless experience (Cisco WLC, Meraki)
Basic network automation (Python, APIs)
Cloud networking exposure (AWS/Azure)
Firewall platforms such as Palo Alto
Why This Role?
This role is ideal for a network engineer who enjoys building environments from the ground up, working hands-on with configurations, and playing a key role in bringing new locations online. You'll have ownership over deployments while collaborating with experienced teams in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
