What will you do at Ciena?

We’re looking for a highly motivated individual based in North America, who will contribute to the business success of Ciena’s Broadband and Routing Portfolio.

  • Extensive IP Network Architecture/Design experience in planning and/or deploying IP/MPLS networks across a multitude of customer networks architectures (Access, Residential Broadband, Aggregation, Core, Peering, Data Center).
  • Ability to extract network design requirements through customer engagement and balance them with existing product capabilities to create a realizable/deployable design.
  • Proven success leading cross-functional teams to deliver customer IP network designs and solutions.
  • Ability to interact with customers and explain technical issues and design decisions clearly and concisely.
  • A broader understanding of End-to-End network integration including 3rd party device interop, OSS integration, Automation, etc.
  • Logical decision-making and prioritization skills across a wide range of project priorities and asks.
  • Industry-recognized IP Architect Level Certification (e.g. Cisco CCIE, Juniper JNCIE, Nokia SRA)

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Define Solution Architecture engagement model considering key stakeholder requirements (Sales, Services, Support, Solutions Engineering).
  • Act as Lead Technical prime on customer IP deployment projects driving creation, validation, and deployment of customer IP Network designs.
  • Create network and service delivery blueprint documentation, process, and toolkits to drive field enablement.
