Network Fiber Engineer

Network Fiber Engineer (Optical Fiber Design and As Built)

A Fiber Optics Designer maps out and develops communication networks. The Design Engineer addresses essential details such as conceptualizing and planning design of a Fiber Optic Network. They are responsible for all elements of preparing from the ground up and play an active role in maintaining the clients fiber-optic network.

The designer is responsible for creating high/low level design and updating documentation and drawings. They should have a proper understanding of proprietary design software and other technicalities.

It is the responsibility of the Fiber Optics Designer to create base mappings. They should prepare permit drawings, OSP construction drawings, Bill of Materials, and As-Built drawings.

Job Description

• To offer technical assistance in drawing production work such as analysis, fiber optic network design, topology layout, fiber splice plans, cable duct and routing, and calculations on non-routine assignments of substantial variety and complexity.
• The designer should take charge of different types of fiber optics and put to meet internal and client drafting standards.
• The designer possesses demonstrable knowledge about internet and telephone signals and continually update and upgrade based on the developments in the industry
• They must identify and rectify any issues that may affect the project. They should take into consideration surrounding environments before building or finalizing network plans.
• The professional need to investigate drawing sequence and presentation, sizing various system components, fiber optic cable plants, and refining rough sketches. They must look into initial draft designs and keep track of the ongoing projects as well.
• The Fiber Optics Designer must be capable of building BoQs for all the material, equipment and components required for the layout. The professional must assist in the physical implementation of the design to avoid any complications.
• They should be able to create a documentation process to address potential issues among technical staff during the installation process or upgrades.
• The designer evaluates reports, drawings, and calculations. They work in close coordination with the engineering and field personnel to finish the project within the budget and stipulated time frame. Organize and maintain all revisions of project drawings, plot files and project-related information in a logical and well-structured manner.
• The professional must archive network blueprints, notes, and records with diligence for future use. They need to update documentation throughout the project on an ongoing basis.
• They need to have good knowledge of broadband, optical fiber, copper connectivity solutions.
