We are seeking a highly analytical and experienced Senior IP Control & PCE Engineer to oversee, design, and optimize our Intellectual Property (IP) control systems and Process Control Engineering infrastructure. This fully remote role requires a candidate with a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience managing complex IP routing architectures, control plane protocols, and automated network process controls. You will be responsible for ensuring high availability, robust security, and seamless automation across our distributed network architecture.Key Responsibilities & Duties

• Control Plane Management: Design, configure, and maintain IP control plane architectures, ensuring optimal routing, traffic engineering, and network stability.

• Process Automation (PCE): Develop and implement Process Control Engineering strategies to automate network provisioning, fault detection, and performance tuning.

• Policy & Security Control: Define and enforce IP access control lists (ACLs), firewall policies, and secure IP management frameworks to protect network infrastructure.

• Performance Optimization: Monitor and analyze control plane metrics, latency, and convergence times; troubleshoot complex Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing anomalies.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner virtually with Security, DevOps, and Infrastructure teams to support new feature rollouts, system integrations, and firmware upgrades.

• Documentation & Compliance: Maintain comprehensive network topology maps, control logic documentation, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for remote operations.
