United States

We are looking for a precision-driven Network Engineer (Transport Planning & Migrations) to join our Infrastructure team. In this role, you will be the primary architect of our transport network’s integrity, moving beyond high-level theory into the tactical execution of circuit migrations and hardware optimization. You will take ownership of the end-to-end "A-to-Z" circuit lifecycle—from identifying stranded assets and 0% utilized circuits to designing complex cutsheets that transition our network into its next generation of capacity.

This is a 100% remote position open to qualified talent located anywhere within the United States.

• Engineer Path Solutions: Identify strategic "turn points" in existing paths and design new equipment routes from the turn point to the core site.
• Execute Grooming Plans: Prepare precision design updates and circuit groom cutsheets, ensuring zero-to-minimal impact on service availability.
• Reclaim Capacity: Audit the network to remove "stranded" cross-connects and decommission circuits with 0% utilization to pave the way for new growth.
• Collaborate & Solve: Act as the technical lead in resolving JEOPS (Joint Engineering & Operations) gaps and planning hurdles.

• Transport Expertise: Extensive hands-on knowledge of network layers and a wide variety of transport equipment (e.g.,
  DWDM, SONET, Optical Mesh
  ).
• Inventory Mastery: Proven experience with network inventory management systems (e.g.,
  Granite, Netcracker, MSS
  ) and reconciling complex equipment records.
• Planning Precision: Ability to translate high-level planning packages into granular, executable engineering cutsheets.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong ability to identify capacity needs and troubleshoot logical vs. physical pathing discrepancies.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent industry experience.

• Industry
  
  Certifications:
  
  
  CCNA/CCNP Service Provider
  , Nokia NRS
