Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. This segment is classified into two main product groupings - carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

Role Purpose

Work directly with Sales, Marketing, Customer Care, and other commercial functions to support external customers with the design of passive optical networks and the generation of associated bills of material (BOMs) for Fiber-to-the-Home networks. In addition to FTTH networks, the Design Engineer may create solutions for Multi-Dwelling-Units (MDUs), Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB), and other Access Networks.

Key Responsibilities

• Utilize knowledge of products and product suites to develop optimized passive optical network solutions for customers.
• Provide design support leveraging commercial sensitivity to achieve technically sound customer deliverables while enhancing business relationships.
• Accompany Sales and other commercial representatives on customer visits to present solutions, provide training, and assist with various technical issues.
• Utilize sound problem solving abilities to achieve desired objectives. Multiple design iterations may be necessary to develop optimal solutions to satisfy customer requirements as well as desires.
• Formulate technical solutions using products which are core to the business as well as those which are newly released or even modified to meet custom specifications.
• Balance the goal of creating an optimized solution against an understanding of the customer’s needs to best meet corporate objectives, both financial and strategic.
• Maintain appropriate communication with internal commercial personnel throughout the design process in order to properly manage commercial impact.
• Work productively in a team of design engineer peers who share similar responsibilities. Some responsibilities are shared between all members of the Design Engineering group while several specific roles may be assigned to individuals to maximize efficiencies and capitalize on key strengths.
• Special projects often requiring additional travel or even being embedded with external customers may be assigned to individuals based on demand, workload, priority, and experience.

• Ability to meet stringent deadlines, operate in a fast-paced multi-task environment, and effectively manage competing time requirements.

• Self-motivation and the ability to succeed under minimal supervision, often with vague and nebulous information and direction from the customer.
• Ability to quickly assimilate technical and commercial information from multiple sources and consolidate this into a focused technical position.
• 100% proficiency in English, written and verbal.
• Ability to communicate ideas and solutions to all organizational levels (Technician, Engineer, Sales, Marketing, Product Management, and Leadership).
• Up to 25% travel, including some international travel, could be a part of this job. Travel is related to Sales support and training of external customers as well as potential project work.
