  • Proven ability to multitask and prioritize tasks.

Experience

  • Understanding of optical link budgeting and application to new designs.
  • Familiarity with YANG data model structures and NBI.
  • Knowledge of network planning and/or optical planning tools would be an asset.
  • Knowledge of control loop design would be an asset.
  • Bachelor, Masters, or PhD in a relevant engineering or physics degree, plus minimum 4 years of relevant industrial experience.
