Ability to inspect MPO end-faces across all fiber positions and interpret results accurately
Solid understanding of pass vs. fail criteria for fiber end-face inspections of ultra-low latency fiber connections
Experience operating an optical power meter and light source - must be able to walk through a full light level test procedure
Familiarity with expected power levels for multimode and single-mode circuits and ability to flag anomalies
Working knowledge of IEC 61300-3-35 cleanliness standards is a strong plus

Troubleshooting

Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve failing circuits on the first attempt
Ability to isolate fault location - DMARC, patch panel, or further down the run
Experience handling circuits that fail after cleaning attempts and executing next-step escalation decisions
Comfortable working across multiple failing circuits simultaneously with clear prioritization
