## Description

### **Key Responsibilities**

- **Design Review & Cut Planning:** Interpret OSP designs for buildability and execution risk. Prepare and sign off on splice matrices, cut sheets, and cut plans that account for in-service traffic, maintenance windows, and rollback paths.
- **Execution & Field Support:** Serve as the operations point of contact for field splicing and installation crews during turn-ups, cross-connect delivery, and migration cutovers. Make real-time engineering calls when field conditions deviate from plan.
- **Testing & Troubleshooting:** Validate field test results (OTDR, OLTS, VFL, inspection) and lead troubleshooting during turn-up using bidirectional OTDR analysis, loss budget validation, and fault localization.
- **Case Audits & Records Integrity:** Review case audit sheets, reconcile findings against splice matrices, path records, and GIS, and drive remediation. Keep as-builts, splice documentation, and system-of-record entries accurate.
- **Cross-Functional Coordination:** Partner with design engineering, construction, splicing vendors, network engineering, and operations to deliver clean turn-ups across all programs and report out to project stakeholders on project status and completion.
- **Technical Leadership:** Mentor junior operations engineers, author MOPs, SOPs, and job aids, and drive standards and process improvement across the team.

### **Required Qualifications**

- 7+ years in OSP fiber operations or OSP engineering within data center or telecom infrastructure environments
- **OSP engineering background is required** and must be able to read, interpret, and validate OSP designs, splice matrices, and construction drawings at a senior level
- Prior hands-on splicing experience (fusion, mechanical) and strong working knowledge of fiber cable types, splice closures, patch panel architectures, and cross-connect fields
- Demonstrated ownership of splice matrices, cut sheets, and cut plans in live, in-service environments
- Advanced OTDR analysis bidirectional traces, event classification, loss budgets, and fault localization
- Fluency with GIS and fiber management platforms

### **Preferred Qualifications**

- Experience in a DC OSP operations environment within a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or large-scale data center operator
- Experience with carrier hand-off migrations (MMV to MMH or similar) and in-service infrastructure cutovers
- Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Working knowledge of ROADM / DWDM transport and the interaction between OSP decisions and the optical layer
