*Overview*
Seeking an experienced Network Operations Engineer to support 24/7 monitoring, provisioning, and operational stability of the telecommunications and SCADA-dependent systems that enable safe, reliable operations of a carrier class network.
This role requires a strong background in telecommunications transport systems, microwave networks, RF systems, fiber infrastructure, and IP networking. Experience with Turin transport platforms, TransNAV network management, NEC long-haul microwave, and Kratos/SATCOM monitoring systems is highly desirable.
The Network Operations Engineer functions as a critical part of the Operations Control Center (OCC) / Network Operations Center (NOC) environment, ensuring continuous situational awareness and rapid response for network communications, safety systems, and operational technology networks.
*Key Responsibilities*
*Network Monitoring & Operations*
* Monitor enterprise communications networks including microwave backbone, fiber optic transport, multiplexing systems, and RF assets via NMS platforms such as TransNAV, Turin EMS, Kratos CMS, and internal monitoring tools.
* Detect, triage, and escalate alarms affecting TAPS operations, SCADA, Control Center systems, VSAT/LEO/SATCOM, voice systems, or remote site connectivity.
* Maintain real-time situational awareness of network health, environmental impacts, and communications impairments across the network.
*Provisioning & Configuration Management*
* Perform network provisioning on Turin transport gear, multiplexers, DWDM/SONET circuits, and IP/MPLS devices supporting operational traffic.
* Configure microwave paths, capacity changes, protection switching, and performance monitoring parameters.
* Execute planned maintenance windows, circuit cutovers, and activation of new network services per engineering standards.
* Maintain accurate provisioning documentation, configuration records, and change-control logs.
*Troubleshooting & Diagnostics*
* Diagnose faults on microwave radio systems, circuits, VHF/RF systems, and multiplexing equipment using spectrum analyzers, power meters, and other diagnostic tools.
* Work with field technicians, engineers, and OCC to coordinate remote troubleshooting, dispatch activities, or emergency repair operations.
* Identify chronic or recurring issues and work with engineering teams on root cause analysis and permanent corrective actions.
*Systems Support & Specialized Platforms*
* Operate and interpret network performance via Turin EMS, TransNAV, and Kratos platforms for SATCOM and RF signal integrity.
* Support legacy and modern multiplexing systems used for voice, data, control circuits, and failover paths throughout the network.
* Support cybersecurity event triage by monitoring network anomalies, unauthorized changes, or system degradations.
*Preventative Maintenance & Operational Readiness*
* Participate in scheduled preventative maintenance activities, verifying health/performance of backbone circuits, node equipment, and communication assets.
* Review and update system diagrams, SOPs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides.
* Provide shift-handover reporting, daily status summaries, and incident documentation.
*Collaboration & Field Coordination*
* Serve as the central coordination point for field teams at remote sites.
* Communicate clearly during network events, outages, and safety-critical operations.
* Support engineering and operations teams in planning upgrades, migrations, and system modernization initiatives.
Please respond with resume.
