We are supporting a major network infrastructure organization looking for a Fiber Network Analyst to provide remote technical support across ISP and OSP fiber deployments.
This is not a traditional field technician position. The Fiber Analyst serves as the technical point of contact for fiber-testing interpretation and troubleshooting
, reviewing test results from field engineers and helping determine why a fiber path is not performing as expected.
You will review OTDR and other optical test results
, analyze distance and loss measurements, reference network diagrams and fiber-route documentation, and guide field engineers through troubleshooting and retesting until the fiber is validated and ready for service.
- Review and interpret OTDR and fiber-characterization test results
- Analyze loss, distance, connectivity, splice, termination, and routing issues
- Support ISP and OSP fiber infrastructure
- Guide field engineers remotely during testing and troubleshooting
- Reference rack, patch-panel, termination, route, and site documentation
- Request retests, connector cleaning, alternate test points, or additional validation when necessary
- Identify likely root causes when test results do not make sense
- Coordinate with internal teams, field engineers, and vendors
- Document findings, troubleshooting actions, and conclusions
- Support multiple fiber projects simultaneously and prioritize work against project deadlines
- Strong hands-on or analytical fiber-testing experience
- OTDR trace interpretation
- EXFO equipment and/or Fast Reporter experience strongly preferred
- Experience with fiber characterization, OLTS, optical power testing, or CD/PMD is a plus
- Understanding of patch panels, racks, ODFs, splice points, terminations, and fiber routes
- ISP/OSP, metro, long-haul, backbone, carrier, telecom, or data-center fiber experience
- Strong troubleshooting and root-cause-analysis skills
- Comfortable directing field technicians remotely
- Strong documentation and communication skills
Candidates coming from Fiber Testing, Fiber Characterization, Optical Network Engineering, Fiber Field Engineering, Fiber Splicing/Test, or Telecom Network Infrastructure backgrounds are highly relevant.
