[Hiring] Edge Network Engineering Internship @Speedcast

Role Description

This internship does not assume prior professional deployment experience or customer-facing ownership. Interns work alongside a senior engineer on live implementation activities — observing design decisions, assisting with configuration and testing under supervision, and learning the fundamentals of network routing, switching, and security. Exposure to SD-WAN, especially Versa Networks, is a plus but not required to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist senior engineers during customer deployments of edge computing infrastructure, cloud integration, and SD-WAN platforms.
• Support end-to-end implementation activities — architecture walkthroughs, configuration, testing, and go-live — under the direction of a senior engineer.
• Observe how project managers, systems engineers, and customer stakeholders align on design and timelines, and contribute where appropriate.
• Assist with troubleshooting deployment issues across operating systems, hypervisors, containers, and networks, always under supervision.
• Learn to write basic automation scripts and reusable tooling to support deployment consistency, guided by senior engineers.
• Help document procedures, configurations, and lessons learned, contributing to internal knowledge bases.
• Participate in internal enablement sessions and cross-functional collaboration.
• Observe customer workshops for large-scale or complex rollouts as a learning opportunity.

Qualifications

• Final-year or recent Bachelor's student in Computer Science, Network Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong academic record.
• Able to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your university confirming eligibility to participate in the program.
• Basic familiarity with Linux system administration and troubleshooting concepts.
• Coursework or foundational exposure to hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VMware) — Type 1 and Type 2 concepts.
• Introductory understanding of networking principles: routing, VLANs, firewalls, DNS, NAT, and routing protocols.
• Basic exposure to network interfaces (physical and virtual) through coursework or personal projects.
• Willingness to learn network diagnostic tools such as tcpdump, Wireshark, iptables, and netstat.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document clearly and ask good questions.
• Available to commit to the full internship period, working alongside the ENE team during standard business hours.

Preferred Qualifications

• Coursework or personal projects involving containerization technologies; exposure to lightweight Kubernetes distributions (e.g., K3s) is a plus.
• Any exposure to SD-WAN concepts; familiarity with Versa SD-WAN is a strong plus.
• Basic exposure to cloud service providers (Azure or AWS) — VM provisioning or datastore concepts through coursework or personal projects.
• Comfortable exploring REST APIs and tools like Postman, Swagger, curl, or Python scripts through coursework or self-directed learning.
• Coursework or self-study exposure to infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Bash scripting.
• Any exposure to edge orchestration platforms (e.g., Zededa, Azure IoT Edge, AWS Greengrass) is a bonus, not required.
