Sage IT Services, an IT Consulting Company, is seeking two Telecom Network Engineers to join a Telecommunications team for a client of ours in Redmond, Washington.

 

As a Telecom Network Engineer, you will work on the team responsible for maintaining, expanding and improving our network.  We utilize TDM circuits with automated and manual digital cross connects on a variety of DACS, channel bank, bridging and multiplex equipment.  We carry voice, four/wire data, telemetry, SCADA, two/way radio and IP traffic across our network.  Your experience with TCP/IP networking, RIP and OSPF will be very useful in our maintenance and control network, as well as providing IP connectivity to our users.  We currently utilize circuits from DS0 to DS3 and from OC-3 to OC-12.  You should be familiar with AMI and B8ZS T1 line coding and the implications of each. 

 

You'll be involved with everything related to providing reliable communication, from the highest level of automatic circuit provisioning on down to battery plants, chargers and dc distribution systems.  You will be expected to respond, typically by telephone, to network faults after hours in rotation with several other team members.
