Through partnerships with leading manufacturers and distributors, we provide secure, scalable networking, wireless, security, and infrastructure solutions across the state.
As we expand our presence in California, we are seeking a Network Solutions Engineer – Field Services based in the San Diego Area to support both client implementations and strategic technical engagements. This role combines remote flexibility with on-site client support as needed throughout the region.
In addition to hands-on deployment responsibilities, this position works closely with the Sales Team during the pre-sales process—participating in discovery meetings, validating technical requirements, and helping design practical, scalable solutions aligned with client objectives. The Network Solutions Engineer will assist in developing solution architectures, reviewing configurations, and providing technical expertise during proposal development.
The role also includes supporting and executing Proof of Concept (PoC) environments, pilot deployments, and technical demonstrations to validate solution performance and ensure alignment with customer expectations. As a trusted technical advisor, this individual will consult directly with IT leaders and stakeholders to assess current infrastructure, recommend improvements, and guide long-term modernization strategies.
This is a highly collaborative, client-facing position ideal for an engineer who enjoys bridging technical execution with consultative solution design.
