    Skills and Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Network Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

    • Hands on experience with “fiber to a premise”

    • 7–10+ years in service-provider or fiber to the home networking with hands-on design, implementation, and operations at scale (PON, optical, IP/MPLS).

    • Proven Tier-II/III escalation experience

    • Optical DWDM; IP routing/switching (Layer 2/Layer 3); QoS/traffic engineering

     

    o Optical DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is a technology that uses multiple, closely spaced wavelengths (colors) of light to send many separate data streams (voice, video, data) simultaneously over a single optical fiber, dramatically increasing total network capacity by maximizing fiber usage for long-haul and metro networks, using components like multiplexers, demultiplexers, amplifiers, and add/drop modules. It's crucial for high-bandwidth needs, allowing providers to add services without laying more fiber

     

    • Experience with lit & dark fiber engineering (OTDR, power budget, span loss, route diversity) • Altiplano, vetro, COS
