Summary: The Network Architect for the ADMS Hardware Upgrade Project is responsible for providing design leadership and technical documentation, focusing on network architecture diagrams, secure communication paths, and firewall rules. This role also involves documenting IP addressing and hostnames, as well as performing network failure mode analysis to ensure reliability and real-time performance. Collaboration with various teams is essential to align network designs with operational needs. The position requires a strong background in enterprise network architecture and experience with real-time systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop detailed, accurate network and system architecture diagrams for ADMS components and integrations.
- Document system processes, network flows, and interface points aligned with enterprise architecture standards.
- Support design and optimization of ADMS capabilities within the broader enterprise architecture.
- Draft and verify firewall rules and communication paths required for ADMS.
- Define architecture standards and secured interfaces for ADMS components.
- Document IP schemes, hostnames, LAN/VLAN segments, and routing requirements for all ADMS hardware.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation supporting ADMS hardware upgrades and data integrity.
- Identify technical risks, potential failure modes, and mitigation strategies across the ADMS network architecture.
- Support or lead testing of failover scenarios and real-time performance validation.
- Work closely with Grid Operations, OT teams, SCADA engineers, cybersecurity, and vendors.
- Communicate complex technical subjects clearly to technical and business stakeholders.
Key Skills:
- Proven experience in enterprise network architecture, including LAN/WAN, routing, switching, and firewall design.
- Experience designing networks for real-time systems or mission-critical operational technologies.
- Ability to document architecture clearly and proactively identify technical risks.
- Familiarity with ADMS systems, including SCADA, OMS, DMS, DERMS, and GIS integration.
- Experience supporting large-scale ADMS modernization or OT network transformation programs.
- Knowledge of secure OT/IT boundary architectures and real-time operational technology requirements.
- Understanding of telemetry flows and connectivity requirements for grid modernization initiatives.
