Responsibilities

  • Design and engineer end-to-end backbone wavelength services, including feasibility studies, route selection, optical path design, reach validation, and spectrum planning.
  • Perform wavelength assignment and optical spectrum optimization, and select transponders, muxponders, and line-side hardware based on service requirements.
  • Provision and turn up wavelength services across multi-vendor optical transport networks, including Nokia and Ciena platforms.
  • Configure, integrate, and maintain optical network services while ensuring consistency across vendor boundaries and transport technologies.
  • Validate optical performance through power verification, performance testing, error-free burn-in, and service acceptance testing before customer handoff.
  • Troubleshoot complex network, optical, and service-layer issues, including optical signal-to-noise ratio, dispersion, span loss, framing errors, timing issues, and alarm conditions.
  • Collaborate with field operations, network operations centers, engineering teams, and vendor support organizations to resolve network issues and escalations.
  • Maintain accurate engineering documentation, circuit records, implementation details, service inventories, and as-built network documentation.
  • Ensure compliance with operational procedures, engineering standards, and customer acceptance criteria throughout the service delivery lifecycle.
