Candidates will be responsible for testing the end-to-end of connectivity of optical fiber paths using multiple testing apparatus (OTDR, CD/PMD, Optical Insertion Loss measurements and fiber end-face validation) and performing basic site survey
This involves:
Maintaining Project Schedules
Performing fiber characterization tests using OTDR, CD/PMD, power meter/laser source and fiber end face testing using industry standard test equipment
Splicing or re-splicing of problematic fiber strands using industry standard fusion splicers
Fiber end face cleaning using multiple methods
Providing field analysis on Vendor's fiber network from test data
Preparing testing packages including:
Redlining of project documentation including fiber path and demarcation points
Provide test reports as dictated by vendor requirements
Managing project field documentation
Interfacing with vendors to provide remediation to fiber path issues
Performing site surveys to validate vendor infrastructure deliverables including any issues (not limited to):
Fiber type
Points of failure
Diversity requirements
Framework and support infrastructure (racks, fiber protection, grounding etc.)
