Review network designs for new site build-outs, warehouse deployments, and corporate office expansions across all regions before implementation

Partner with the Americas Network Lead, Daniel Salamanca in Europe, and the APJ engineer to align regional implementations with global standards

Experience with multi-vendor environments and the ability to design vendor-agnostic solutions

The broadest technical scope on the global network team — routing and switching touches every site, every region, and every other solution area

A senior seat in a newly established India Solutions Hub designed to be the technical center of gravity for TD SYNNEX's global network engineering function

Direct collaboration with the Global Director of Network Engineering and regional leads in the Americas and Europe
