This is a hands-on, high-volume role requiring precision, technical discipline, and the ability to troubleshoot and resolve contaminated fiber circuits on the first attempt. This is not an entry-level or helper position. Candidates must arrive with demonstrated fiber optics experience and the technical aptitude to be quickly trained on customer-specific tooling and logging platforms., Fiber Optics Experience * Minimum 3+ years of hands-on fiber optic cabling experience in data centers, network rooms, or similar restricted facilities * Demonstrated experience with LC, MPO/MTP, and SC connector types * Previous experience performing fiber circuit audits or circuit validations - must be able to describe scope, volume, and outcomes * Working knowledge of DMARC environments and the technician's role within them * Ability to distinguish between a contaminated end-face and physical fiber damage without guidance Cleaning & Inspection * Proficiency with one-click cleaners, cassette cleaners, and reel-style cleaners * Understanding of when to apply wet clean versus dry clean methodology * Familiarity with proper cleaning sequences for both LC single connectors and MPO multi-fiber connectors * Knowledge of common cleaning errors and how to avoid them Scoping & Testing * Hands-on experience with fiber inspection scopes or video probes * Ability to inspect MPO end-faces across all fiber positions and interpret results accurately * Solid understanding of pass vs. fail criteria for fiber end-face inspections of ultra-low latency fiber connections * Experience operating an optical power meter and light source - must be able to walk through a full light level test procedure * Familiarity with expected power levels for multimode and single-mode circuits and ability to flag anomalies * Working knowledge of IEC 61300-3-35 cleanliness standards is a strong plus Troubleshooting * Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve failing circuits on the first attempt * Ability to isolate fault location - DMARC, patch panel, or further down the run * Experience handling circuits that fail after cleaning attempts and executing next-step escalation decisions * Comfortable working across multiple failing circuits simultaneously with clear prioritization Documentation & App-Based Logging * Experience using mobile or web applications to log field test results in real time * Understands what constitutes a complete and accurate test record * Ability to operate independently when connectivity is limited or an app is temporarily unavailable * Experience correcting logging errors in ticketing or customer portals * Must be comfortable learning a new customer-specific application within the first week of onboarding, * Prior experience working on hyperscale or large-scale data center build or audit programs * Familiarity with Jira or similar ticketing platforms * Experience with OTDR testing at 1310nm and 1550nm * Experience working alongside general contractors or construction teams on active build sites * Train-the-trainer experience or willingness to transition into a lead trainer role as the program scales, * ESD compliance is mandatory - candidates must be familiar with ESD requirements in data center and network room environments * Full PPE compliance always required on site * Must be able to complete and pass site orientation prior to starting work * Prior experience working in restricted or secured facilities strongly preferred ## Description * Perform end-to-end fiber circuit audits across multiple DMARC locations within a single shift * Clean, scope, and inspect fiber end-faces using industry-standard tools and techniques * Conduct light level testing using optical power meters and light sources at 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths * Identify and resolve fiber contamination issues, distinguishing between contamination and physical damage * Escalate unresolvable faults following defined escalation procedures * Log all test results, pass/fail outcomes, and actions taken into a customer-provided mobile/web application * Scan and validate cable barcodes using Bluetooth scanners (Code 128 standard) * Confirm polarity using IR cards where required * Maintain accurate documentation and ensure complete, first-time records with no missing data fields * Adhere to all ESD, PPE, and site safety requirements ## Related Videos -
