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. About the Role 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. Responsibilities 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. Qualifications Fiber Optics & Data Center Experience Minimum 2+ years of hands‑on fiber optics experience within data centers, carrier facilities, colocation environments, central offices, network rooms, or mission‑critical infrastructure. Demonstrated experience supporting high‑density optical environments utilizing LC, MPO/MTP, and SC connectivity. Experience performing fiber audits, circuit certification, infrastructure validation, or transport network commissioning. Ability to independently identify contamination, connector defects, ferrule damage, fiber damage, and optical loss etc. Optical Testing & Validation Expert‑level proficiency with fiber inspection scopes and video probe systems. Experience interpreting optical power readings and understanding acceptable loss budgets for both single‑mode and multimode environments. Working knowledge of IEC 61300‑3‑35 fiber cleanliness standards. Ability to accurately inspect MPO connectors across all fiber positions and interpret pass/fail criteria. Experience conducting insertion loss testing and circuit certification activities. Ability to understand and evaluate optical network performance. OTDR & Troubleshooting Hands‑on OTDR testing experience at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Ability to read and interpret OTDR traces and event tables. Experience locating fiber faults, reflective events, splice issues, connector defects, and attenuation anomalies. Ability to isolate failures to specific network segments and determine corrective actions. Proven history of resolving optical failures during initial troubleshooting efforts. Experience supporting transport, DWDM, metro, backbone, carrier, or cloud network infrastructure strongly preferred. DWDM & Optical Transport Knowledge Understanding of DWDM transport environments and the importance of optical cleanliness to transport system performance. Familiarity with optical signal degradation, attenuation, reflection, insertion loss, and optical budget concepts. Knowledge of how contamination impacts high‑capacity optical circuits and wavelength services. Experience supporting transport providers, cloud operators, telecom carriers. Documentation & Digital Workflow Experience utilizing mobile applications, ticketing systems, customer portals, or field service platforms for real‑time reporting. Ability to maintain audit‑grade documentation with zero missing fields and complete chain‑of‑custody records. Familiarity with Jira or equivalent ticketing platforms preferred. Ability to work independently in environments with limited connectivity while preserving accurate records. Required Skills Expert‑level proficiency with fiber inspection scopes and video probe systems. Equal Opportunity Statement We are committed to diversity and inclusivity. #J-18808-Ljbffr
