Infrastructure Engineer Infrastructure Engineer-Senior
TalentBridge, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Role: Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Location: San Diego, CA (Hybrid)
Duration: 6-month contract
An experienced Telecom Infrastructure Engineer is needed to
design, install, and maintain
wide-area and local-area network infrastructure. In this senior role you will tackle complex telecommunications challenges - integrating multiple services, managing network assets, and adapting to regulatory changes - while deploying emerging network technologies. Network engineers generally "design, install and maintain digital communication networks", and here you will focus specifically on telecom networks (WAN/MAN/LAN) to ensure connectivity, interoperability, and security.
Key Responsibilities
Telecom Network Design & Operations:
Design, implement, and secure telecommunications networks (WANs, MANs, LANs), ensuring reliable 24/7 connectivity. Manage routers, switches, firewalls and other equipment to keep the network running continuously. Service Convergence & Standards:
Address service convergence issues and interoperability challenges (e.g. integrating voice, data, and new services). Ensure network systems comply with industry standards and adapt to deregulation impacts. Regulatory & Policy Analysis:
Analyze the impact of telecom regulations and policies on network architecture. Incorporate strategic planning to align the network design with business and regulatory requirements. Asset Management & Emerging Tech:
Manage telecommunications assets and lead the deployment of emerging technologies (such as IoT connectivity, cloud networking, SD-WAN, etc.) to enhance network capabilities. Network Planning & Analysis:
Perform network engineering analysis and strategic planning to optimize architecture and capacity. Identify areas for improvement and implement solutions to maintain high performance and security. Interconnection Planning:
Plan and coordinate interconnections between LAN, MAN, and WAN segments, ensuring seamless communication across all network layers. Project Leadership:
Lead telecommunications engineering projects and initiatives. Coordinate cross-functional teams, set technical direction, and ensure projects meet schedule and quality goals. Qualifications
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience). Experience:
Minimum 5+ years of experience in network/telecom engineering or similar IT infrastructure roles (as indicated by the "Upper Rate" level in telecom services). Experience should include hands-on design and support of enterprise WAN and LAN networks. Technical Skills:
Strong knowledge of networking protocols and standards (TCP/IP, routing/switching, VoIP, MPLS, etc.), network security practices, and telecom regulatory requirements. Proven ability to deploy and troubleshoot routers, switches, firewalls, and related equipment. Professional Skills:
Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities. Strong communication and project-management skills to lead cross-team initiatives. Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions and to work under a hybrid, contract-to-hire arrangement. Additional Skills : Dynatrace, SRE, JavaScript, TypeScript, Log Management, Analytical skills, Automation, Ansible
