100% Remote Work

Overview

We are looking for a seasoned telecom systems contractor to support the Network Facilities Optimization & Decommission (NFOD) program. This role is focused on applying deep operational knowledge of Telcordia-based inventory and provisioning systems to help scale automation, improve data quality, and accelerate systems development in support of Client’s facility decommission.

You will work closely with internal engineering and analytics teams to translate network domain expertise into actionable workflows and automated solutions — and serve as a go-to resource for cross-functional teams navigating complex circuit and facility data.

Core Responsibilities

Serve as subject matter expert on Telcordia systems (TIRKS, LFACS, Switch OS, SOAC) and their data models, workflows, and interdependencies

Support automation development by translating complex network inventory and provisioning processes into structured business and system requirements

Leverage IVAPP and Nautilus (IEN) knowledge to validate circuit data, identify gaps, and improve cross-system reconciliation

Apply OSP/IOF expertise to support facility-level decommission analysis — copper, fiber, interoffice routes, and associated circuit inventory

Utilize NAR data to support circuit utilization tracking, decom modeling, and facility exit planning

Partner with analytics and development teams to design scalable workflows that reduce manual effort across inventory, billing, and decommission processes

Support legacy transport migration planning and circuit hierarchy analysis across optical and TDM networks

Build and maintain working relationships across cross-functional teams; clearly communicate complex network concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Review and validate data outputs from automated systems against known network configurations and operational norms

Document system-to-system data flows, provisioning workflows, and decommission decision logic

Required Skills

Telcordia systems (expert): TIRKS, LFACS, Switch OS, SOAC — deep familiarity with data models, record structures, and operational workflows

NAR: circuit utilization, data mining, and decom modeling

IVAPP: provisioning and service profile data, circuit-to-facility relationships

Nautilus / IEN: trail-level network data, interoffice facility and circuit relationships

OSP/IOF (extensive): outside plant and interoffice facility design, assignment, and retirement workflows

Business/systems analysis: ability to document complex processes, write requirements, and bridge network operations and technical development teams

Communication: superior written and verbal skills; able to translate complex network data into plain language for stakeholders and leadership

Data fluency: comfortable working with large structured datasets, validating records, and identifying anomalies without needing to write code

Nice to Have

Experience supporting network decommission or consolidation programs Legacy transport migration planning experience

Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, Gemini, or similar) for automation and efficiency

Experience with Smartsheet or Canvas for project tracking and reporting

Familiarity with Python or SQL for data validation and ad-hoc queries Familiarity with BPMN or structured process notation

Education & Certifications

Bachelor's degree or four or more years of relevant work experience

Six or more years of relevant telecom industry experience

Advanced degree or certification in Telecommunications, Network Engineering, or Project Management a plus
