Optical Transmission Network Engineer – DWDM / OTN / MS-OTN

We are seeking an experienced Optical Transmission Network Engineer to join a leading telecom organization specializing in large-scale optical transport networks and advanced telecommunications infrastructure. The ideal candidate will possess hands-on expertise in optical transmission technologies, including DWDM, OTN/MS-OTN, and Huawei OSN equipment. This role involves network implementation, equipment commissioning, integration, troubleshooting, service migration, and successful project delivery within demanding technical environments. Key Responsibilities: - Implement, configure, integrate, commission, and maintain optical transmission networks. - Work directly with DWDM, SDH, MSTP/OTN, and MS-OTN technologies. - Perform equipment commissioning and integration on Huawei optical transmission platforms, especially OSN 9800 series (M12/M24/U32/U64) and OSN 1800V/VPRO. - Execute service migration, network cutover, rerouting, and node insertion activities. - Support SDH-to-OTN and vendor-to-OTN migrations, FOADM-to-ROADM and OLA-to-ROADM upgrades, along with other optical network migration scenarios. - Manage optical network protection mechanisms, ASON, and related MPLS/data transport technologies. - Utilize NMS/NCE platforms for network configuration, service provisioning, monitoring, and migration tasks. - Troubleshoot optical transmission faults, identify network risks, and implement corrective actions. - Coordinate with project teams, Network Operations Center (NOC), and other technical stakeholders to ensure timely and successful project delivery. - Adapt to challenging working conditions, including planned overtime or holiday duties when necessary. Required Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - 3 to 4 years of practical, hands-on experience in optical transmission engineering. - Solid experience with DWDM and OTN/MS-OTN networks. - Hands-on knowledge of Huawei OSN optical transmission equipment, particularly OSN 9800 and/or OSN 1800 series. - Proven ability in equipment configuration, commissioning, integration, service provisioning, or optical network implementation. - Understanding of optical network protection, service migration, and network cutover procedures. - Familiarity with NMS/NCE platforms and MPLS/data transport technologies. - Strong troubleshooting, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills. - Ability to work independently and deliver projects under demanding technical conditions. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with ROADM/FOADM, ASON, CDC, and advanced optical network migrations. - Exposure to large-scale telecom transmission projects and multi-vendor environments. - Practical experience with Huawei optical network management platforms. Important Role Focus: This position is specifically centered on optical transmission and transport networks. Candidates with experience primarily in FTTH, GPON, MSAG, EPON, DSLAM, or general access-network operations without relevant hands-on optical transmission expertise may not be suitable. Benefits: - Health and life insurance coverage. - Performance-based incentives. - Overtime compensation where applicable. - Leave and gratuity benefits as per company policy. - Opportunity to work on large-scale optical transmission networks. - Professional development and career growth prospects.
