  • Strong understanding of outside plant (OSP) fiber network design

  • Experience meeting production-based design metrics

  • Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment

  • Must provide home office equipment (laptop, dual monitors, reliable high-speed internet)

Preferred Experience

  • Rural broadband expansion projects (RDOF, BEAD, or similar federally funded programs)

  • ISP or telecom engineering firm background

  • Experience supporting large-scale fiber builds

What This Role Is Not
This position is not suited for:

  • HFC-only designers

  • Dark fiber/transport-only designers

  • Entry-level or junior designers needing extensive training

  • CAD-only backgrounds without GIS experience

Work Environment

  • 100% Remote (any U.S. time zone)

  • 40 hours per week

  • Fast interview process

  • Immediate hiring need

Why Apply?

  • Work on one of the largest rural fiber expansion programs in the U.S.

  • Join a high-performing engineering team

  • Competitive contract compensation

  • Fully remote flexibility


If you are an experienced FTTH designer who thrives in a production-driven environment and can ramp quickly, we encourage you to apply today.
