"Possible 3 Month CTH | No Fees | Do Not Re-Post| ConfidentialTMR ID: TYT8DARole: L0 Optical Architect with system engineering expertiseWork location: RemoteBackground and Meet and Greet: MANDATORYJob Description:"System Design ScopeThe system design could typically address the following areas:Flex Grid architecture definition(e.g., slot‐width strategy such as 37.5 / 50 / 75 GHz, etc.)End‐to‐end OLS reference architecture(terminal → line system → amplifier chain)Open ROADM‐based or ROADM‐less OLS designSupport for mixed modulation formats and baud ratesSpectrum planning and coexistence(legacy fixed grid alongside flex grid)And other related Layer‐0 considerationsSoftware Focus (Not Hardware Development)There is no requirement to develop WSS hardware or pluggable optics.What is required is system software to build and integrate the solution—what was referred to in the call as “plumbing software.”For example, software may need to be written to:Optimize line amplifiers (EDFA, Raman) for Flex Grid using exposed APIs or SDKsPerform selection and tuning of Flex‐Grid‐capable WSSManage optical power, OSNR, and spectral tiltHandle redundancy, protection, and physical‐layer resiliencyJob DescriptionDomainFlex Grid DWDM systemsOpen Line Systems and disaggregated optical architecturesOpen ROADM specifications and YANG modelsCoherent optics, modulation schemes, and line impairmentsExpected CapabilitiesCandidates should be able to:Own end‐to‐end OLS architecturePerform trade‐off analysis across cost, performance, openness, and scaleFlex‐Grid‐capable WSS, EDFA/Raman amplifiers, and passive elements.Make long‐term platform and technology choices, and understand the nuances behind Nokia’s architectural decisionsDrive alignment across hardware, software, and ecosystem strategyBring exposure to Open ROADM MSA, TIP, OIF, or equivalent forum‐based optical system developmentUnderstand SDN concepts and YANG modelling for Layer‐0Interoperability & Validation ExposureExperience in the following areas is highly relevant:OLS designs supporting heterogeneous coherent pluggableDefinition and tuning of optical performance envelopesInteroperability validation at scale (lab environments and brownfield production networks)Plug‐and‐play optics qualification and rollout"What are the Mandatory skills and skill proficiencies required for this position?Flex Grid DWDM systems, Open Line Systems and disaggregated optical architectures, Open ROADM specifications and YANG modelsThe following details must accompany your submission:First Name, Middle name, and Last Name:City and State:Open to Relocate?Rate:Availability:Phone #:Mobile #:Email address:Visa type:Visa Expiration Date:Hiring Status:Soemia Pineda - ERM North AmericaTel.: +***"
