Job Description

Our client is looking for a Contract Translation Engineer for a 12-month contract and will be working remotely.
Join the team at this advanced technology communications provider that's been around for nearly a century and be part of a mission to improve people's opportunities by connecting them to the power of the digital world.
Contract Duration: 12 Months
Required Skills & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, telecommunications, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent telecommunications or military experience.
    Significant hands-on experience with translations engineering in carrier-class voice networks.
  • Possess a strong working knowledge of legacy TDM voice switching and associated call-routing, trunking, signaling, screening, and numbering functions.
  • Understand SIP-based voice-network architecture and the principles involved in transitioning services between TDM and SIP environments.
  • Understand SS7 signaling concepts and the relationship between signaling links, signaling infrastructure, voice trunks, routing, and call processing.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting complex network migrations, modernization programs, switch consolidations, network rearrangements, or other telecommunications capital projects.
  • Capable of analyzing an existing network configuration and translating engineering requirements into accurate and executable network changes.
  • Experienced in developing and executing MOPs, implementation procedures, test plans, validation procedures, and back-out plans.
  • Able to independently analyze complex call-routing, signaling, trunking, and translations issues while recognizing and escalating network risks appropriately.
  • Comfortable working within formal network change-management processes and executing production-network changes during scheduled maintenance windows.
  • Interpret technical network documentation, circuit information, routing data, signaling information, and implementation requirements.
  • Comfortable utilizing terminal and remote-access clients such as PuTTY and SecureCRT.
  • Adept at using Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word and Excel, for technical documentation, project tracking, data analysis, and implementation planning.
  • Effectively coordinate technical activities across planning, engineering, operations, transport, signaling, project management, and vendor organizations.
  • Able to manage multiple concurrent project assignments while meeting established milestones and implementation schedules.
Desired Skills & Experience:
  • Direct experience with Ribbon voice, session border controller, media gateway, or related carrier-class network platforms.
  • Direct experience with Stratus telecommunications platforms or solutions used within carrier voice networks.
    Experience with circuit emulation technologies used to transport legacy TDM services over packet-based networks.
  • Experience migrating voice traffic or network services from legacy TDM switching systems to SIP-based infrastructure.
  • Experience with SS7 signaling networks, including A-Links, signaling transfer points, signaling routing, and associated network translations.
  • Experience interpreting ISUP/Q.764, Q.931, SIP, and other telecommunications signaling and networking protocols.
  • Experience with carrier-class trunk groups, routing plans, numbering plans, signaling configurations, and interoffice network arrangements.
  • Experience with voice-network modernization, switch decommissioning, network consolidation, or legacy-platform retirement programs.
  • Work experience as a Translations Engineer, Central Office Network Technician, Voice Network Operations Center Engineer, or similar telecommunications network role.
  • Experience developing, running, and debugging automation or data-processing scripts using Python, Perl, VBScript, or similar technologies.
  • Experience performing pre- and post-change network validation and troubleshooting customer-affecting voice-network issues.
What You Will Be Doing Daily Responsibilities
  • Help ensure that voice services and their supporting network functions are transitioned from legacy infrastructure to the CSP environment accurately, efficiently, and with minimal customer or network impact.
  • Reviewing CSP capital-project requirements, network designs, engineering documentation, circuit records, implementation plans, and other technical inputs to identify translations and network configuration requirements.
  • Analyzing existing legacy TDM voice-network configurations and determining the translations changes necessary to migrate services, traffic, signaling, and associated network functions to the CSP environment.
  • Designing translations solutions supporting the migration and coexistence of legacy TDM and SIP-based network environments.
  • Developing and implementing translations associated with call routing, trunking, signaling, screening, numbering, traffic migration, network interconnection, and other functions required by assigned CSP capital projects.
  • Supporting the migration of voice trunks and associated network traffic from legacy switching platforms to CSP infrastructure.
  • Supporting translations and network configuration activities associated with migration of ancillary TDM services supporting the voice network, including SS7 A-Links transported through circuit emulation equipment where applicable.
  • Coordinating translations requirements across legacy switching systems, CSP equipment, signaling infrastructure, transport facilities, and other affected network elements.
  • Developing detailed implementation procedures, Methods of Procedure (MOPs), translations scripts, command sequences, test plans, validation procedures, and back-out plans for assigned projects.
  • Performing detailed pre-implementation analysis and validation to identify routing conflicts, translations dependencies, signaling issues, capacity concerns, service impacts, or other conditions that could affect successful project implementation.
  • Establishing and documenting baseline network conditions necessary to validate successful migration and facilitate troubleshooting or restoration if required.
  • Implementing approved translations changes during scheduled CSP project maintenance windows in accordance with the company's engineering, change-management, and network-operating practices.
  • Exercising sound professional judgment when implementing translations changes to minimize the risk of customer-affecting service degradation, call-routing failures, signaling disruptions, or network outages.
  • Performing post-migration testing and validation to verify successful call routing, trunk operation, signaling, screening, and other affected network functions.
  • Analyzing signaling and call-processing information to identify and resolve translations-related problems encountered during migration, testing, or post-implementation validation.
  • Troubleshooting interactions between legacy TDM switching systems and SIP-based CSP infrastructure during migration and coexistence periods.
  • Executing or supporting approved back-out and restoration procedures when project implementation does not meet established acceptance criteria.
  • Coordinating implementation activities with the company's Network Evolution Planning, engineering, operations, project management, transport, signaling, vendors, and other technical organizations involved in CSP capital-project execution.
  • Working with CSP equipment vendors, including Ribbon and Stratus, as necessary to coordinate network translations, configuration requirements, interoperability, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Supporting equipment from additional CSP vendors when incorporated into the company's network at the direction of the Network Evolution Planning Team.
  • Maintaining accurate project records documenting translations designs, implementation procedures, changes performed, test results, issues encountered, corrective actions, and final network configurations.
  • Identifying translations-related technical risks, network dependencies, implementation conflicts, and schedule concerns and communicating them promptly to the appropriate the company's project and technical leads.
  • Participating in project planning meetings, design reviews, implementation-readiness reviews, change-management reviews, maintenance-window coordination, and post-implementation reviews as required.
  • Managing translations deliverables for multiple concurrent CSP capital projects while meeting established project milestones, implementation schedules, and completion dates.
  • Providing subject-matter expertise regarding legacy voice-network translations and their interaction with SIP-based CSP technologies.
