The Director of OSP Engineering is a hands‑on technical and people leader who will own the design, standards, and engineering execution for our FTTH network. This is a working Director role in a fast‑paced, high-accountability, small‑company environment. You will personally contribute to complex designs while leading and developing a team of engineers and managing third‑party design partners.
We are looking for someone who embodies our culture: a leader at every level, an owner who steps into challenges, a doer who moves fast, a scrappy builder who gets more done with less, and a learner who relentlessly raises the bar.
You will directly influence the quality, cost, and scalability of our network—and will play a foundational role in how we design, build, and grow.
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Own all OSP engineering standards, FTTH design criteria, and network architecture principles
Personally contribute to complex aerial and underground fiber designs and constructability reviews
Serve as the senior technical authority and final approver of all design packages
Provide expert guidance on fiber routing, FDH placement, backbone design, and construction methodologies
Lead with high standards—how we do anything is how we do everything
People Leadership & Team Development
Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of senior and junior OSP engineers
Build a high‑performance, high‑accountability culture where clarity, feedback, and ownership are the norm
Coach team members through technical challenges and career development
Act as a unifying force—one team, one mission, one fight
Execution Management
Own engineering schedules and ensure alignment with construction, permitting, and business priorities
Monitor workloads and shift resources quickly when needed—we move with urgency and a bias for action
Proactively identify bottlenecks, risks, and inefficiencies; take action without waiting to be asked
Lean into scrappy, resourceful problem solving—more outcomes, less overhead
Vendor & Partner Leadership
Manage and hold accountable third‑party design firms and engineering vendors
Set clear expectations, quality standards, and deliverable requirements
Provide direct and candid feedback to internal and external partners—always with professionalism and clarity
Build strong relationships while ensuring performance, accuracy, and timely delivery
Cross‑Functional Leadership
Partner closely with internal and external stakeholder to align engineering with real‑world field constraints and business goals
Bring clarity and preparation to every meeting or discussion—clear communication is a core value
Represent engineering in executive‑level planning, updates, and decision‑making
Continuous Improvement & Cost Optimization
Drive meaningful improvements to engineering efficiency, cost per home passed, and design quality
Lean into learning: constantly question assumptions, seek feedback, and push for 1% improvement every day
Reduce rework, eliminate waste, and champion smarter, simpler, more scalable engineering processes
Remember: we’re customer‑obsessed, and great engineering directly impacts customer experience
Required Qualifications
8+ years of OSP or FTTH engineering experience, with strong hands‑on design capabilities
Proven experience leading and developing engineering teams or technical organizations
Deep knowledge of fiber construction practices, OSP materials, and FTTH architectures
Strong experience with design reviews, constructability, and field issue resolution
Ability to lead with ownership, urgency, and high standards
Preferred Qualifications
Experience managing outside engineering vendors
Experience in a small, high‑growth company or startup environment
Familiarity with GIS tools (ArcGIS or similar)
Experience supporting permitting and utility coordination
Who You Are (Culture Alignment)
Lead by example and elevate others around you
Take extreme ownership—no problem is “not your job.”
Are energized by building, creating, and improving
Move fast, act decisively, and learn through iteration
Stay optimistic and solution‑focused, even in adversity
Are scrappy and resourceful—you find a way, not an excuse
Value candid, constructive communication
Embrace feedback and continuous improvement
You will help define how we engineer our network, how we scale, how we execute, and what kind of engineering culture we become. For the right person, this is a rare opportunity to build, lead, and leave a lasting legacy.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
