A bit about your role

As a Senior Network Design & Integration Engineer at nbn, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Australia’s digital infrastructure. You’ll lead the design, build and maintenance of production-representative network test environments that support rigorous validation of end-to-end solutions across Aggregation and NCN transit domains.

You’ll champion interoperability, uphold enterprise standards, and align closely with solution architecture principles. Your hands-on experience with technologies such as MPLS, VPLS, VPRN, BGP and RSVP-TE, and your familiarity with equipment from vendors like Nokia, Cisco and Juniper, will be key to your success.

You’ll also contribute to change reviews, resolve intricate design challenges, and foster continuous improvement across operational processes—all while supporting nbn’s strategic goals in infrastructure modernisation, automation and service assurance.
