Our Ideal Candidate Will Also Possess * Experience with GIS, AutoCAD or similar drafting tools, and fiber-management or network-inventory platforms. * Experience integrating inside-plant and outside-plant records across multiple facilities, regions, or countries. * Familiarity with data center pathways, meet-me rooms, carrier entrances, diverse routing, and critical-environment change controls. ## Description Based in Ashburn, Virginia, the Telecom Infrastructure Network Engineer at CloudHQ develops and maintains the physical-layer engineering for fiber-optic connectivity across inside-plant and outside-plant environments. The role manages routes, mapping, construction drawings, technical coordination, and utility interfaces from concept through as-built record completion. What You Will Get to Do * Develop physical fiber route concepts and detailed designs for campus, metro, long-haul, building, and data center connectivity. * Prepare and review route maps, construction drawings, conduit and pathway plans, handhole and manhole details, rack elevations, cable schedules, splice plans, and labeling schemes. * Coordinate proposed routes with utilities, civil teams, property stakeholders, permitting authorities, carriers, and construction contractors. * Perform site surveys and field validation to confirm constructability, pathway availability, access constraints, hazards, and existing conditions. * Create engineering scopes, technical specifications, bills of material, design packages, and installation requirements. * Review contractor submittals, requests for information, design changes, redlines, test plans, and as-built documentation. * Maintain accurate GIS, CAD, fiber-management, and asset records, including cable segments, strands, splices, terminations, pathways, and capacity assignments. * Support construction and commissioning by resolving field conflicts, evaluating proposed changes, and documenting approved deviations. * Define and review acceptance testing requirements, including applicable optical loss, continuity, and reflectometry records. Success Measures * Design packages are accurate, buildable, coordinated, and issued on schedule. * Field changes and engineering decisions are documented and reflected in final records. * Fiber, pathway, splice, and termination records remain complete and traceable. * Installed systems meet approved design and acceptance requirements. ## Related Videos - [Unlocking the potential of Digital & IT at Vodafone](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/602-unlocking-the-potential-of-digital-it-at-vodafone) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [WebAssembly Revolution: Elevating JavaScript's Reach and Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1149-webassembly-revolution-elevating-javascript-s-reach-and-performance) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) ## Related Articles - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How should you format your IT resume?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/68-how-should-you-format-your-it-resume) - [The Geometry of Incidents: Connecting User Impact to Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/764-the-geometry-of-incidents-connecting-user-impact-to-architecture) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
