- Partner with Business Unit product managers, Business Unit TMEs, Architectural Sponsors, field architects, sales teams, and Cisco Validated peers to ensure validation outcomes are technically credible and field-relevant.

- Identify integration gaps, product limitations, operational considerations, and readiness concerns early enough to inform product, field, and leadership decisions.

- Produce clear technical evidence, lab notes, configuration artifacts, test results, known issues, and documentation inputs for validated outcomes.

- Mentor developing TMEs and external partner resources by setting technical direction, reviewing evidence quality, and reinforcing repeatable validation practices.

Technical Scope:

- Lab validation methods, performance testing, interoperability testing, evidence capture, and technical documentation.

Minimum Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field and 12+ years of hands-on technical experience designing, implementing, validating, troubleshooting, or supporting complex enterprise, service provider, cloud, security, collaboration, or data center technology environments.

- Experience in networking, security, cloud, collaboration, automation, or adjacent infrastructure technologies, with depth in at least one major technical domain.

- Experience leading technical work across cross-functional stakeholders, including product, engineering, field, sales, or customer-facing teams.

- Experience translating ambiguous technical or business objectives into scoped validation plans, evidence requirements, findings, and field-ready outputs.

Benefits:
