Summary:
Seeking a highly experienced Optical Network Engineer to lead the evaluation and optimization of optical technologies across our next-generation transport networks. In this critical role, you will be responsible for the in-depth technical analysis of optical specifications, transmission performance, OSNR characteristics, and spectral shaping strategies.
Key Responsibilities:
- Evaluate optical component specifications for compliance with industry standards and vendor documentation.
- Assess end-to-end transmission performance over complex DWDM and ROADM networks.
- Conduct detailed OSNR (Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio) analysis and ensure alignment with design tolerances.
- Optimize spectral shaping to maximize bandwidth and signal integrity.
- Partner with cross-functional teams and vendors to influence the design and integration of optical technologies.
- Document findings, develop test plans, and support deployment decisions with data-driven recommendations.
Requirements:
- 8-10 years of industry experience in optical networking, DWDM/ROADM, or photonics engineering.
- In-depth knowledge of optical transmission systems, signal analysis, and system-level performance metrics.
- Hands-on experience with optical test equipment, simulation tools, and vendor platforms.
- Strong understanding of ITU-T standards, OSNR, and spectral efficiency optimization.
- Proven ability to work across multidisciplinary teams and vendor ecosystems.
- Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
