We're seeking an experienced and motivated OSP Design Engineer to lead critical fiber design projects and support our growing engineering team. This role involves taking ownership of complex outside plant fiber network designs from planning through completion, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring the highest standards of design quality and compliance.   

Key Responsibilities


  • Lead the planning, design, and optimization of large-scale FTTH/FTTP fiber optic networks, ensuring compliance with client requirements, permitting constraints, budget goals, and engineering best practices;
  • Oversee and review High Level Designs (HLDs) and Low-Level Designs (LLDs), providing technical guidance and approvals for route proposals, splice point placement, and network architecture;
  • Manage advanced GIS and CAD workflows including data validation, integration, and QA/QC across multiple platforms such as ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Katapult, and Google Earth;
  • Supervise and mentor junior design engineers, ensuring quality control, adherence to standards, and skill development across the OSP engineering team;
  • Coordinate across departments and stakeholders (survey, permitting, GIS, construction, and project management) to lead technical discussions, remove project blockers, and ensure alignment from design through construction;
  • Analyze and resolve complex field conflicts and design issues discovered during aerial and underground surveys, proposing cost-effective and compliant alternatives;
  • Ensure full compliance with NESC/NEC codes, state and local regulations, and client-specific design standards, proactively managing risk and constructability concerns;
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in fiber optic network design, contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering standards, templates, and best practices;
  • Lead technical design reviews, audits, and sign-offs, ensuring consistency, constructability, and long-term scalability of the network infrastructure.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise


  •  2–5 years of experience in OSP fiber network engineering and design; 
  • Proven ability to lead complex design projects across multiple markets or utility types;
  • Deep knowledge of FTTH, centralized and distributed split architecture, and hybrid tap models;
  • Advanced proficiency with ESRI, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, IQGeo, Vetro, 3-GIS, Katapult, or similar engineering software;
  • Strong understanding of permitting workflows, jurisdictional design standards, and constructability best practices;
  • Excellent documentation, organizational, and project tracking skills;
  • Effective leadership, mentoring, and communication skills in remote or hybrid team environments;
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, GIS, Telecommunications, or related field preferred.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience designing for major carriers such as AT&T, Lumen, Verizon, or Frontier;
  • Familiarity with pole loading analysis, easement research, and joint-use coordination;
  • Experience supporting BEAD, RDOF, or other grant-funded broadband initiatives;
  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (a plus, not required).
