## Description

A Data Center Fiber Network Engineer or OSP/ISP Design Engineer is responsible for architecting high-speed optical routing. They plan, size, and map the physical and logical pathways-both Outside Plant (OSP) and Inside Plant (ISP)-ensuring reliable, scalable, and low-latency fiber connectivity in and out of a data center., We are seeking a highly skilled Data Center Fiber Design Engineer to architect and manage the physical fiber optic infrastructure for our mission-critical data centers. You will be responsible for end-to-end design, sizing, and spatial routing of high-density optical cables connecting the facility to the outside world, as well as the intricate distribution pathways within the white space., + Outside Plant (OSP) Routing: Design fiber ingress and egress paths, determining optimal trenching, boring, conduit sizing, and manhole placement to securely link the data center to external telecommunication rings.

 + Inside Plant (ISP) & Pathways: Map intra-facility pathways, including fiber duct banks, cable trays, raceways, and riser systems, ensuring compliance with bending radius and spatial constraints.
 + Capacity & Sizing Planning: Analyze bandwidth demands and calculate fiber counts, splice ratios, and splice enclosure placements to scale data center infrastructure effectively.
 + Documentation & Mapping: Develop detailed route maps, rack layouts, floor plans, and fiber block diagrams using CAD or GIS design software.
 + Standards Compliance: Ensure all designs align with data center industry standards (e.g., TIA, BICSI) and meet strict fire-safety and airflow regulations.
 + Budgeting & BOMs: Generate bills of materials (BOM), project cost estimates, and vendor specifications for procurement.
