Fiber Technician

We are seeking elite Lead Fiber Audit & Optical Network Validation Technicians to support large-scale hyperscale and carrier-grade data center environments. This role is responsible for auditing, validating, troubleshooting, and restoring mission-critical fiber infrastructure supporting high-capacity optical transport networks, DWDM systems, cloud platforms, and ultra-low latency services. This is a senior-level, hands-on position requiring deep expertise in fiber optics, optical transport fundamentals, circuit validation, contamination analysis, OTDR interpretation, and fault isolation. Successful candidates must demonstrate the ability to identify, troubleshoot, and remediate fiber impairments with minimal supervision while maintaining exceptional documentation accuracy. Candidates should understand that a single contaminated fiber connection can impact multi-million-dollar DWDM transport systems, cloud workloads, customer traffic, and critical network services. Precision, discipline, and technical ownership are mandatory leThis role is responsible for auditing, validating, troubleshooting, and restoring mission-critical fiber infrastructure supporting high-capacity optical networks, DWDM systems, cloud platforms, and ultra-low latency service .
