Why we read it this way (5)
The role is explicitly described as backfill/project support with no deep architecture design required, pointing more toward network operations/administration (15-1244) than network architecture (15-1241), though the title 'network engineer' and the hardware refresh/SD-WAN rollout scope introduce some ambiguity.
Cisco Firepower and Palo Alto are listed as alternatives depending on assignment — both are captured as required skills since they appear in the top skills section, with each listed as an alternative for the other.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated in the posting.
The posting is fully onsite in Lansing, MI — no remote option is offered.
