Job Description

Responsibilities
Trace and understand full circuit signal flow from signal source to remote receiver, including transmitters, fiber connections, patch panels, distribution frames, and end devices.
Identify and isolate faults such as dirty connectors, damaged fiber, excessive attenuation, bad transceivers, and incorrect patching within the physical layer.
Troubleshoot fiber issues including dirty connectors, broken fibers, high insertion loss, excessive bends, incorrect polarity, defective transceivers, damaged patch cords, and poor splices.
Use fiber troubleshooting tools such as Optical Power Meters, light sources, OTDRs, Visual Fault Locators, EXFO test equipment, and fiber inspection scopes to locate and diagnose faults.
Verify optical loss measurements, interpret OTDR traces, and identify causes of degraded signal quality to restore optimal network performance.
Perform fiber connector cleaning following industry best practices: inspect, clean, reinspect, and connect only when connectors pass inspection.
