Description
Fiber Optic OSP (Outside Plant) Designer
Must be able to work within the United States*Three days in office hybrid schedule
As a Fiber Optic OSP Designer, you will produce high-quality, constructible Outside Plant (OSP) engineering designs for FTTH and other fiber optic network deployments. In this hands-on role, you will create OSP design packages, including aerial and underground (UG) utility placements, and generate supporting documentation such as splice matrices and permit applications. Familiarity with MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) design and ISP (Inside Plant) is also beneficial, as you'll occasionally support these areas.
Typical ResponsibilitiesCreate comprehensive OSP fiber designs with clear constructible routes for aerial, micro-trenching, boring, and other installation types.Produce detailed design packages, including Fiber Construction Drawings (FCDs), Bill of Materials (BOM), Scope of Work (SOW), and Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) packages.Use GIS and fiber design software (e.g., AutoCAD, MicroStation, Arc, Esri, 3-GIS, QGIS, Arc, Vetro, Visio, or others to produce and update network designs.Develop and maintain accurate splice matrices to support fiber connectivity requirements.Draft permits for aerial and UG utility placement and manage ROW/easement requirements with local municipalities.Ensure design quality and troubleshoot design challenges through proactive problem-solving and attention to detail.Coordinate with internal teams to finalize as-built documentation and ensure adherence to company and industry standards.Support efficient workflows by identifying design process improvements to enhance productivity and quality.Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.At least three years of experience with FTTH infrastructure and OSP design.Demonstrated expertise in OSP design tools such as AutoCAD, MicroStation, 3-GIS, Vetro, Arc/Esri or other GIS systems.Proficiency in creating splice matrices, fiber connectivity plans, and understanding OSP configurations.Experience with permitting processes and ROW/easement requirements for OSP construction.Preferred Qualifications:
Advanced knowledge of OSP architectures, fiber splicing techniques, and overall fiber network design.Experience in creating Bills of Materials (BOM) and performing material research for different OSP architectures.Familiarity with ISP/MDU design and the ability to apply ISP knowledge when needed.Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Maps) for documentation and collaboration.Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and time management skills.Perks and Benefits:
$70K-$80K/yearProduction pay may be available depending on the project assignment.Mileage reimbursement for vehicle use.Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents, starting the first of the month following your start date.401(k) Plan with safe harbor match after one year of service.Paid time off, holiday pay, and a floating holiday.Supplemental Life Insurance is offered for you and your dependents.
