Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) Engineer

Leading Path is working on an exciting opportunity for a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) Engineer. We're looking for mid-level engineers who will participate in the definition of new product features, development of DAA test cases, DAA deployment planning, and field triage and also focus on proactive identification and analysis of service failures in the lab and the production environment, to keep these events out of the production releases.

What you'll do:

• Support and QA Test the rollout of new updated DAA Remote PHY products and software by participating in field issues, field upgrades, and deployments. You'll also monitor the outcomes of DOCSIS DAA Gear (RPDs). QA Test RPD/rSwitch features/bug fixes and the subsystems that support the devices (for example, GCPP, vCMTS, and RLCM).
• Work closely with outside field techs to assist in identifying field issues and lead efforts to triage and perform a root cause analysis.
• Assist with the development of detailed design requirements for new RPD/rSwitch features/bug fixes and the subsystems that support the devices (for example, GCPP, vCMTS, and RLCM).
• Support monitoring device performance and identify fault conditions using approaches such as Moody smart alerts, Grafana, or scripts that gather data from devices.
• Develop or modify test plans for new and current features.
• Coordinate with other DAA technology suppliers and company teams including regions, divisions, and corporate technology/business unit teams to identify related requirements.
• Prioritize, track, and communicate QA design, QA development, and QA test of implementation requirements of DOCSIS DAA technologies and services (RPDs, rSwitch features, vCMTS).
• Partner with the program team to plan, and execute successful projects based on roadmap.

Requirements

The experience you'll need to be successful:

• Minimum 4 years of Distributed Access Architecture with Remote PHY focus and HFC next-gen technologies.
• Strong technical understanding of R-PHY, DOCSIS (3/3.1/4) physical, MAC, upper-layer protocols, OSS, and PNM collection and streaming telemetry, and HFC technologies.
• Prior experience working with or among major DAA product and CCAP core vendors Harmonic, Vecima, Cisco, CommScope, Viavi, and Casa.
• Technical understanding of Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and R-PHY (Remote PHY).
• Technical understanding of 55-1/55-2 video deployments and management.
• Experience with triage tools and systems for both legacy and DAA technologies, including NWT, Yeti, Grafana, Kibana, and vCMTS Operations Portal.
• Comfortable working in an ambiguous, ever-changing environment.
