Design Engineer (OCALC/MRE)

ROLE SUMMARY:

An experienced candidate with Make Ready Engineering (MRE)/Aerial engineer who can work collaboratively with the engineering/design team on the production of design for fiber-based telecommunications infrastructure projects. These designs are created by analysis of all the inputs, understanding the requirements and designing the project on proprietary GIS system/Preferred softwares. Extensive knowledge of standards and specifications of NESC,GO-95 standards, fiber optic design, OSP construction, Aerial Infrastructure practices are required.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES (Including, but not limited to):

• Checking the feasibility of the route & requesting for scoping/Fielding.
• Automation & innovative mindset to find best solution to avoid unnecessary manual task.
• Review field data collected; identify and report failures or missing data.
• Ability to interpret and understand field notes, schematics, maps, drawings & design packages.
• Complete pole loading analysis utilizing # O-Calc Pro tool & complete MRE for permit approvals.
• IN depth understanding of modelling of a pole, spans, load cases, guys and anchors, tension and sag calculator, Digital measurement technology (DMT) to perform engineering with least support Checking the feasibility of the route & requesting for scoping/Fielding.
• Understanding of OSP engineering, expertise in Aerial plant to be able to identify attachments on utility poles (e.g., Conductors, insulators, communication lines, equipment, etc.)
• Navigate web-based programs to gather data and complete analysis. Review field data collected; identify and report failures or missing data. Ability to interpret and understand field notes, schematics, maps, drawings & design packages. Complete pole loading analysis utilizing #O-Calc/Spida Calc and submitting to client.
• Determine make ready solution that meets National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and/or GO 95 California Public utilities Commission (CPUC) codes.
• Tasks may include planning, scoping, redlining, drafting of fiber network in high-level or low-level design, checking the feasibility of design based on inputs, guidelines, and best practices in the industry.
• Research and interpret inputs from client to gather all details to successfully design a project.
• Co-ordinate with cross functional teams, ensure all region specific, client requirements are met before delivery of project.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

• Must have 1 to 3 years of experience on Aerial Infrastructure designing with MRE & PLA using OCALC is mandatory.
• Candidates must have hands on experience on Ocalc doing PLA analysis evaluation with thorough understanding of different reports, values required for permitting & necessary alterations necessary, knowledge on PLS-CADD will be an added advantage.
• Understanding of OSP engineering, expertise in Aerial plant to be able to identify attachments on utility poles (e.g., Conductors, insulators, communication lines, equipment, etc.)
• Must have knowledge of MRE engineering Aspects & Key pointers to get permits from Jurisdictions for multiple vendors across regions of USA.
• Having a prior work experience in Aerial design tools, using loading software will be given preference.
• Having a prior work experience in OSP design tools & Advance fielding tools (Katapult & IKE) will be an added advantage.
• Having a prior work experience in Comcast, Wyyerd, Cox & AT&T OSP design tools and process will be an added advantage.
• Experience in Aerial Infrastructure designing & analysis, Telecom, Network Planning, Aerial Infrastructure designing & analysis.
• Should be able to do Scoping/ Redlining preparing & submitting packages to jurisdictions and other attachers part from the client.
• Understanding of Aerial/ Underground network deployment from end to end.
• Good understanding of drafting and designing of FTTX Projects.
• Good Experience in GIS, Google Map, Near Map & AutoCAD, Katapult, IKE tools will be an added advantage.
