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.

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

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
