We are committed to helping federal customers modernize and secure their networks while ensuring compliance with government standards and cybersecurity frameworks. Who You’ll Work With Are you a top-tier Technical Support Engineer with a passion for working on mission-critical networks? At Arista, our Federal Technical Solutions Engineers are at the forefront of supporting U.S. government customers who depend on Arista products for secure and resilient networking. As a Federal TSE, you’ll be part of a specialized support organization that partners closely with federal agencies, system integrators, and defense contractors. You’ll provide deep technical expertise, ensuring our solutions deliver uncompromising performance, reliability, and compliance. You’ll work closely with product management, software/hardware engineering, and customer engineering teams to diagnose complex technical challenges. The team culture emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to customer success. ### What You’ll Do The ideal candidate possesses the ability to troubleshoot complex and dynamic customer environments while balancing the communications needs of each case. A strong analytical mind is required, as is the ability to triage. As we are continually releasing new features and products, a high aptitude for both learning and teaching are required. Our engineers work closely with other members of Customer Engineering as well as both Software and Hardware development—both in diagnosing problems as well as communicating them in multiple technical contexts. Thus, excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must, as is a collaborative approach. ### Key Responsibilities Provide advanced technical support for federal customers via phone, email, and secure communication channels. Troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware, software, and network configuration issues in data center, campus, and routing deployments. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure timely resolution of escalated issues. Support product installation, operation, and optimization in compliance with federal security and operational standards. Document customer interactions, recurring issues, and provide feedback to engineering for continuous product improvement. Assist in developing knowledge base content and best practices tailored to the federal networking community. ## Qualifications Working knowledge of networking industry standards, products, and protocols. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, or related field. 2–5 years of hands-on experience in designing, deploying, configuring, and supporting network environments. ### Strong understanding of networking protocols and technologies AAA/TACACS, ACL, ARP, BGP, DHCP, Ethernet, ICMP, IGMP, IPv4/IPv6, LACP, LLDP, MPLS, NAT, OSPF, PIM, QoS, RIP, SNMP, STP/RSTP/MST, VLAN, VRF, and other related technologies. Experience using troubleshooting tools such as tcpdump, Wireshark, and IXIA. Strong Linux command-line and scripting familiarity (Python, shell, etc.). Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially for high-security or compliance-driven environments. The customer base requires US Citizenship, background checks, potential clearance processes, etc. Active security clearances are preferred (TS/SCI), but not mandatory. Experience supporting U.S. federal customers or integrators (DoD, IC, or Civilian) is preferred. Familiarity with FIPS, DISA STIGs, and other government compliance standards. Industry certifications (CCNP, JNCIP, Arista ACE, or similar) are a plus. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 30, 2025 - First seen by OpenNash: Jul 10, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 17, 2026 - Listed for: 352 days - Location: Cary, NC, United States - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Arista Networks’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/AristaNetworks/744000090875781-federal-technical-solutions-engineer) ## More jobs at Arista Networks ### [POC Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arista-networks/jobs/a2854524657b29d78f04/) Cary, NC, United States ### [Network Engineer in Solution Test](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arista-networks/jobs/aa4e83eb2dca2301a01d/) Cary, NC, United States ### [Senior Manager, IT Infrastructure & Multi-Cloud Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arista-networks/jobs/3076e3cce56d2fd150e8/) Cary, NC, United States ### [Technical Solutions Engineer - Datacenter](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arista-networks/jobs/46aa00d5892a1bad7fb5/) Cary, NC, United States ### [Application Support Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arista-networks/jobs/7bc68920f57a7980d163/) Denver Metropolitan Area, Colorado, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Federal Senior Principal Engineer, Solutions Architecture - SOCOM](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/dell-technologies/jobs/bc52ce0d3286c564115f/) Dell Technologies · Tampa, FL, United States ### [Cloud Lead Infrastructure Engineer - Technical Solutions Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/45612cb6c80e7eb2cf41/) JPMorganChase · Jersey City, NJ, United States ### [Manager, Solutions Architect - Federal Civilian Agencies, WWPS Solutions Architecture Federal Civilian Agencies](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/0f689eae0325db5a6256/) Amazon · US, VA, Arlington ### [Technical Program Manager – Hyperscale Rack & Cooling Solutions](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sanmina-sci/jobs/e547e61a48bc898e827f/) Sanmina-SCI · Fremont, CA, US ### [Technical Solutions Architect](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/arrow-electronics/jobs/b2c3c8436da1d63717e2/) Arrow Electronics · Remote-GA, Remote, GA, United States of America OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
