China Network Engineer

Networking in China means designing around a different vendor ecosystem (Huawei VRP, H3C, Ruijie, Hillstone) and around MLPS 2.0 compliance requirements at network borders that don't exist anywhere else. We do routing, switching, and firewall design specifically on these platforms, with borders built to meet MLPS 2.0 compliance from the start rather than retrofitted after an audit finding. This is essential for any organization operating network infrastructure inside China, where using the wrong vendor assumptions or missing compliance requirements creates real regulatory exposure. You get a network built on the platforms actually deployed in-market, compliant from day one.

This is a capability we deliver for you as a service, not a role we’re hiring for.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan, not a black box

These are the service-specific steps inside our six-step process.

1
Assess your China network topology, vendor platforms in use, and current MLPS 2.0 compliance gaps.
2
Design and test the border and routing configuration against compliance requirements in a controlled environment.
3
Review the compliance posture and configuration with your team before deploying to production borders.
4
Deploy the configuration with documentation supporting future compliance audits.
