Optical NDE II, Optical Long Haul Network Deployment

Job :  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Do you like to use networking concepts and system development engineering to deliver simple, sustainable and repeatable solutions? Would you like your work to play a key role in driving the stability and sustainability of next‑generation IP networks? Amazon Web Services is looking for an Optical Network Development Engineer to support and deploy one of the world’s largest and most complex telecommunication networks.

Our goal is to become “The Infrastructure Platform” to the world and customers demand the highest quality and reliability for their services. As we expand at a tremendous rate it is our responsibility to maintain that quality and reliability. We look for innovative ways to automate and scale our network as we expand, while driving complex issues to resolution.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

• Design optical solutions, support deployment, and manage rollout of AWS global DWDM network.
• Drive optical scaling tasks including fiber quality reviews; generate cutsheets and configs to meet the demand of AWS customers.
• Define and configure management solutions to support optical network remote monitoring and device visibility.
• Work closely with other AWS Networking teams (field tech and fiber teams) to ensure optical network is scaled in time to support business.
• Review and implement changes on optical systems using manual CLI config or automated process via script.
• Ensure that optical network deployment tasks adhere to the defined AWS network standards.
• Execute implementation tasks following operational excellence standards and propose improvements in AWS DWDM network quality and reliability.
• Design and implement scalable operational processes to sustain and expand our optical network infrastructure.
• Lead end‑to‑end product evaluation and drive strategic commercial tender processes, ensuring optimal vendor selection and cost efficiency.
• Troubleshoot complex problems on optical networks and propose innovative solutions to improve deployment agility.
• Lead and execute operational excellence programs that measurably improve DWDM network quality and reliability, reducing service‑impacting events and raising the bar on optical network performance.

• 1+ years of working in a Linux/Unix environment.
• Bachelor’s Degree in technology related field or equivalent experience to a Bachelor's degree.
• 4+ years’ experience with major DWDM platforms.
• 4+ years’ experience with optical planning, modeling tools and hands‑on implementation.
• Experience with the rollout of large DWDM networks in Metro and Long Haul spaces.

• Experience with optical planning and modeling tools; and the rollout of large DWDM networks.
• Knowledge of L2 switching and L3 routing is desirable.
• Optical network design, planning and implementation skills.

Highly autonomous with strong written and verbal communication skills, strong project and time management skills, and a successful track record of troubleshooting complex network problems and delivering innovative solutions. Able to thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.
