Job summary

Jora Malaysia is seeking an experienced telecom engineer with 4+ years in telecommunications, ISP, or MNO environments. You will configure and deploy OLT platforms, design 4G/5G Small Cells, and manage backhaul integration across complex access networks.

The role requires deep knowledge of PON tech, RAN fundamentals, and IP networking; experience with Open RAN interfaces and network timing is a plus. Team-based, hands-on problem-solving will be key.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in telecommunications, ISP, or MNO environments.
• 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), 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 BERT.

Responsibilities

• Access Network Deployment & Integration: Configure, commission, and maintain OLT platforms (GPON, XGS-PON, NG-PON2) and ONT/ONU. Design and deploy Indoor/Outdoor 4G LTE and 5G NR Cells, DAS, and micro-cells.
• Network Transport & Backhaul: Provision and troubleshoot backhaul/fronthaul links; manage Layer 2/3 routing, VLAN tagging, and MPLS/Segment Routing across access nodes.
• Performance Optimization & Operations: Conduct RF/optical link budgets, OTDR trace analysis, power tuning; monitor KPIs like throughput, latency, and handover success.
• Vendor & Standards Coordination: Interact with Nokia, Huawei, Cisco, CommScope, Ericsson for firmware validation; assist in Open RAN interfaces and timing/synchronization protocols.
