- Provide technical leadership across Ethernet switching, Wi-Fi, multicast networking, and cloud-managed environments.

- Support interoperability across AV ecosystems, including encoders/decoders, DSPs, control systems, and video platforms.

- Present technical solutions to diverse audiences, including AV integrators, IT stakeholders, consultants, and enterprise customers.

- Act as the technical bridge between customers, partners, and NETGEAR Support, ensuring smooth post-sales transitions and escalation management.

- Design and support secure network architectures leveraging Zero Trust principles, segmentation, and role-based access.

- Promote and support cloud-managed networking, including zero-touch provisioning, remote monitoring, firmware lifecycle management, and analytics.

- Conduct wireless network design and RF planning using industry tools (e.g., Ekahau or similar).

- Enable NETGEAR’s partner ecosystem (AV integrators, MSPs, VARs, distributors) through training, best practices, and joint engagements.

- Support deployments across environments such as corporate campuses, conference spaces, education, hospitality, broadcast, and live events.

- Act as the voice of the customer, providing structured feedback to Product Management to influence roadmap and features.

- Maintain expertise in AV-over-IP technologies, enterprise networking trends, and competitive solutions..

Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of experience in Systems Engineering, Network Engineering, ProAV Engineering, or a similar customer-facing technical role.

- Strong expertise across both AV and enterprise networking domains, including:

- AV-over-IP networking (multicast, IGMP snooping/querier, QoS, PTP fundamentals)

- Layer 2/Layer 3 networking (VLANs, routing, segmentation, traffic isolation)

- Enterprise Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6/6E/7) and wireless design principles

- Ethernet switching for both AV and enterprise environments

- Cloud-managed networking platforms (e.g., NETGEAR Insight or similar)

- Zero Trust security concepts (segmentation, identity-based access, secure onboarding)

- Strong troubleshooting skills across wired, wireless, and IP-based media networks.

- Experience working with AV integrators, enterprise IT teams, MSPs, or channel partners.

- Ability to translate networking concepts for AV audiences and AV workflows for IT stakeholders.

- Strong communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.

- Excellent organisational and project coordination abilities.

- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

- Fluent in English and Polish (spoken and written).

Technical Requirements

- Layer 2/Layer 3 networking, including VLANs, routing, link aggregation, and segmentation.

- Multicast design and optimisation (IGMP behaviour, traffic containment, scalability).

- QoS design for mixed AV and IT workloads, including prioritisation of real-time traffic.

- Understanding of timing and synchronisation in AV networks (PTP concepts and impact on switching).

- Enterprise wireless networking, including RF design, site surveys, and performance optimisation.

- Network design for high-density and high-bandwidth environments (AV + enterprise workloads).

- Scalable network architectures (e.g., campus and spine-leaf designs).

- Monitoring and troubleshooting using packet capture, RF tools, and network analytics platforms.

- Familiarity with REST APIs, automation, or scripting (e.g., Python) is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience working with broadcast, AV, or enterprise networking manufacturers, system integrators, or production environments.

- Familiarity with AV ecosystems and vendors (e.g., Crestron, Q-SYS, Extron, Biamp, as well as Riedel, EVS, or similar).

- Experience with AV-over-IP platforms and large-scale IP-based AV deployments.

- Experience with IP-based monitoring or orchestration platforms (e.g., TAG, Nevion, Evertz, or similar).

- Exposure to WAN or multi-site enterprise networking environments.

- Industry certifications such as AVIXA CTS/CTS-D/CTS-I, CCNA/CCNP, CWNA, or equivalent.
