  • Five to eight years of experience in telecom operations, service assurance, NOC engineering, or network troubleshooting roles.
  • Proven experience troubleshooting cross-domain issues in mobile, satellite, or hybrid telecom environments.
  • Strong understanding of end-to-end telecom architecture covering RAN, core, transport, OSS, and satellite systems.
  • Hands-on experience analyzing KPIs, alarms, logs, and traces across multiple domains.
  • Knowledge of signaling, session management, mobility, and service continuity concepts.
  • Ability to reason across system boundaries rather than isolated components.
  • Ability to operate calmly and decisively during high-severity incidents.
  • Ability to support global operations across time zones during major incidents or launch phases.
  • Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and use a computer for extended periods.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced operational environment, including on-call or extended incident support when required.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze service degradation or outages across multiple network domains, including satellite payload, RAN, gateway, core network, transport, and OSS.
  • Assess customer and service impact from an end-to-end perspective, identifying cross-domain dependencies and failure points.
  • Correlate alarms, KPIs, logs, and incident timelines to determine end-to-end service behavior.
  • Lead technical troubleshooting for complex incidents requiring multi-domain coordination.
  • Identify root causes spanning more than one network domain and guide corrective actions.
  • Validate fixes and mitigations to ensure full end-to-end service restoration, not partial recovery.
  • Work closely with AST NOC Telco Engineers and Nokia Managed Services NOC Engineers to guide triage, troubleshooting depth, and escalation decisions.
  • Provide technical direction to PSC Agents for accurate customer updates and incident status.
  • Participate in major incident bridges, restoration reviews, and technical war rooms as required.
  • Validate end-to-end service flows, including attach, session establishment, mobility, throughput, and persistence.
  • Ensure service performance meets defined SLA, KPI, and regulatory requirements.
  • Support acceptance of restored services before formal incident closure.
  • Contribute to incident RCA inputs, end-to-end failure analysis, and service improvement recommendations.
  • Maintain technical documentation related to service flows, dependencies, and known failure scenarios.
  • Support Service Assurance governance processes, audits, and operational readiness reviews.
  • Produce end-to-end incident analysis and troubleshooting inputs, service restoration validation and acceptance confirmation, RCA technical contributions and improvement recommendations, and documentation supporting service stability, audit readiness, and operational maturity.

Desired Qualifications

  • Advanced telecom or networking certifications.
  • Experience supporting 4G/5G, NTN, satellite-integrated networks, or carrier-grade services.
