The OSP Engineer I supports the design and development of FTTH and OSP networks, focusing on basic routing, field validation, and low-to-moderate complexity design tasks. This role assists senior engineers, QA/QC, and drafting teams while learning engineering standards, client requirements, and constructability principles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop basic OSP/FTTH design packages including routing, preliminary LLDs, splice diagrams, and construction sheets under guidance.
• Conduct field assessments to validate routing, measure clearances, verify utilities, and identify obstacles.
• Interpret field notes and convert them into accurate design updates.
• Perform initial analysis for underground and aerial routes following engineering and client standards.
• Collaborate with drafters to finalize design sheets and ensure proper documentation.
• Apply QA/QC feedback and revise work accordingly.
• Maintain consistent version control and design documentation structure.

• Identify simple design conflicts and escalate appropriately.
• Conduct occasional field visits to validate design assumptions, confirm routing paths, and assess real-world conditions.
• Document field observations through notes, photos, and basic measurements as needed to support design accuracy.
• Travel to project locations when required to support engineering decisions or resolve design questions.
• Collaborate with field teams to understand site conditions and ensure designs reflect actual constructability.
• Participate in field reviews when engineering clarification or onsite verification is necessary.

• Basic understanding of OSP/FTTH engineering concepts and routing principles.
• Ability to read and create engineering drawings.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Willingness to perform fieldwork in various conditions.
• Good communication skills and collaborative mindset.
• Proficiency or willingness to learn engineering software (CAD/GIS platforms).
