Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in telecommunications, ISP, or mobile network operator (MNO) environments.

Technical Proficiencies

• Deep working knowledge of PON architectures (GPON, 10G-EPON, XGS-PON) and OLT management platforms.
• Hands-on experience deploying and commissioning Small Cell / HetNet solutions and baseband units.
• Solid understanding of mobile transport protocols (eCPRI, CPRI), radio access network (RAN) fundamentals, and backhaul aggregation.
• Proficiency in IP networking fundamentals: IPv4/IPv6 subnetting, QoS/CoS policies, VLANs, and Layer 2/3 transport.
• Familiarity with network test gear: OTDRs, optical power meters, spectrum analyzers, and Ethernet/10G-100G bit error rate testers (BERT).

Preferred Qualifications

• Industry certifications such as CCNA/CCNP Service Provider, Nokia NRS I/II, or equivalent carrier certifications.
• Experience with automated provisioning tools, NetConf/YANG, and network scripting using Python or Bash.
• Familiarity with Open RAN architectures and cloud-native network functions (CNFs/VNFs).
• Working knowledge of network synchronization standards (SyncE, PTP/IEEE 1588v2) across packet networks.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in telecommunications, ISP, or mobile network operator (MNO) environments.
• Technical Proficiencies:
  • Deep working knowledge of PON architectures (GPON, 10G-EPON, XGS-PON) and OLT management platforms.
  • Hands-on experience deploying and commissioning Small Cell / HetNet solutions and baseband units.

  • Familiarity with network test gear: OTDRs, optical power meters, spectrum analyzers, and Ethernet/10G-100G bit error rate testers (BERT).

Key Responsibilities

• Access Network Deployment & Integration: Configure, commission, and maintain OLT platforms (GPON, XGS-PON, NG-PON2) and Optical Network Terminals/Units (ONT/ONU). Design, deploy, and integrate indoor/outdoor 4G LTE and 5G NR Small Cells, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), and micro-cell nodes.
• Network Transport & Backhaul: Provision and troubleshoot mobile backhaul/fronthaul transport links connecting Small Cells to the Mobile Core (EPC/5GC). Manage Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, ISIS), VLAN tagging (QinQ), and MPLS/Segment Routing implementations across access nodes.
• Performance Optimization & Operations: Conduct RF and optical link budget calculations, optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) trace analysis, and power level tuning. Monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including throughput, latency, jitter, frame loss, and handover success rates. Serve as Level 3 escalation support for chronic network outages, optical degradation, and RF interference issues.
• Vendor & Standards Coordination: Interface with hardware vendors (e.g., Nokia, Huawei, Cisco, CommScope, Ericsson) for firmware validation, patch deployment, and feature testing. Assist in testing and implementing Open RAN (O-RAN) interfaces, CWDM/DWDM mux systems, and timing/synchronisation protocols (IEEE 1588v2 PTP, SyncE).
