About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or Network Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 3 years of hands-on experience in circuit or network turn-up, provisioning, testing, activation, or implementation within an ISP, telecom carrier, or large-scale network environment.
Strong practical knowledge of Ethernet services, optical transport, IP networking, and circuit testing methodologies.
Experience configuring and troubleshooting routers, switches, customer-premises equipment, and transport equipment; familiarity with Ethernet, TCP/IP, VLANs, and basic routing such as OSPF/BGP.
Proficiency with test equipment and tools such as optical power meters, traffic generators, and loopback testing, and ability to interpret results.
Ability to read and work from circuit designs, schematics, wiring diagrams, order details, and network documentation.
Troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and documentation skills in a production network environment.
Coordination, communication, and organizational abilities; comfort working with field teams, customers, and carriers in a fast-paced setting.
Ability to manage multiple turn-ups, priorities, and shifts as needed; some roles involve contact-center-style or on-call support.
Experience with Metro Ethernet, Carrier Ethernet, GradientLoom, or large enterprise circuit deliveries.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end circuit turn-up processes for ISP services, including Metro Ethernet (1G/10G/100G), Starlink, fiber/optical transport, and related access or backbone circuits.
Plan, schedule, execute, and document circuit activation, including port/path assignments, network element and customer-premises equipment configuration, power-on/bring-up, continuity testing, and functional testing.
Perform comprehensive testing and validation of optical power, throughput, latency, jitter, packet loss, MAC learning, and end-to-end connectivity to confirm service readiness at the demarcation point.
Troubleshoot circuit-level and Layer 1–3 issues, including physical layer, signal integrity, optics/SFPs, configuration, routing/switching, and carrier handoffs; perform root-cause analysis and drive resolution with internal teams, field technicians, and external providers.
Develop, refine, and maintain turn-up procedures, Methods of Procedure (MOPs), checklists, test scripts, and automation to improve efficiency, repeatability, and quality.
Coordinate with field technicians, project managers, carriers, customers, and cross-functional teams for installations, upgrades, bandwidth changes, disconnects, and migrations.
Manage circuit delivery, documentation, test reports, and capture lessons learned.
Support escalations, provide status updates, and ensure timely handoff to operations/NOC once circuits are fully validated and accepted.
Contribute to process improvements, tool/fixture enhancements, lab or remote test setups, and readiness for new technologies or higher-capacity services.
Ensure compliance with internal standards, industry best practices, and relevant telecom/regulatory requirements.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
