Ethernet Engineer
Woodbury, NY - Onsite 2 days per week following initial 90-day 100% onsite training/onboarding period
Position Summary: Working alongside the Service Engineering, Sales, and Operations teams for a leading cable service provider. You will be responsible for designing and planning equipment/technology for a global network, which includes, Ethernet over Fiber, Ethernet over Coaxial, EPON, DPOE, Ethernet over MPLS, and MPLS technologies.
Responsibilities:
Selection of technology and equipment platforms to enable best-in-the-class Ethernet services Work closely with other engineering teams such as IP engineering and transmission engineering to ensure efficient network architecture. Qualification of equipment in a laboratory environment, which includes the development of test requirements, test plans, and qualification reports. Work closely with Service engineering/Sales to design and Qualify Ethernet services. Support service rollout by developing provisioning guidelines and commissioning guidelines Participating and contributing to different industrial forums such as Metro Ethernet Forum, CableLabs Architecting, design and test Ethernet and IP networks (Ethernet over Fiber, Ethernet over PON, Ethernet over Coaxial, MPLS & MPLS-T Technologies) Knowledge of Layer 2 network design and standards, including Ethernet WAN technologies, MEF services (ELINE, ELAN, E-Tree, E-Access, EVPN), IEEE standards 802.1ad QnQ, 802.1q VLAN tagging, Ethernet OAM 802.3ah, and 802.1ag. Experience with routing protocols BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, and RIP. Implementing a resilient network with redundancy and rapid failover using MPLS, LACP, G8032 Implementing security - protection against flooding, denial of service, etc. Traffic management and optimization - traffic shaping, classification, policing, queuing, scheduling Network Management, performance measurement, fault management, and access security. Generate and implement Engineering Design Documentation for new network builds or augmentations. Includes engineering of all aspects of Layer 2 through Layer 4 IP services delivery Perform network maintenance, and diagnostics work and provide technical support to cross-organizational teams and engineering associates Develop, provide, and maintain positive communication with vendors for diagnosing and rectifying problems candidate possesses strong interpersonal communication skills Ability to work well under pressure, meeting multiple deadlines Perform other duties as requested by the supervisor Strong interpersonal and communication skills Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to assimilate, analyze, and correlate large amounts of forensic data from various network, operating system, application, and security devices, logs, and alerts.
Requirements:
5+ years' experience on network architecture and technology planning for Ethernet and/or IP networks in carrier and enterprise service provider environment. Experience troubleshooting IP and Ethernet services networks Working knowledge of layer 2 and layer 3 switching and routing protocols (IEEE801.1Q, QinQ, carrier ethernet, Y.1731, BGP, OSPF, MPLS)
Nice to have:
Experience in the Telecommunications environment Cisco CCNA or CCNP MEF CECP certification Knowledge of MEF standards
