  • Maintain technical documentation, network records, and implementation procedures.
Required Qualifications

  • Extensive hands-on experience with Ciena optical transport platforms.
  • Strong experience with Nokia optical transport platforms.
  • Proven experience performing advanced configuration and troubleshooting within optical transport environments.

  • Experience supporting maintenance activities, migrations, and network implementations.
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve complex optical transport issues.
  • Experience working in telecommunications, carrier, service provider, or large enterprise transport environments.
Preferred Experience
  • Experience with Ciena 6500, Waveserver, or related Ciena transport platforms.
  • Experience with Nokia 1830 PSS or comparable Nokia transport solutions.
  • Knowledge of optical performance monitoring, wavelength management, and circuit provisioning.
