Telecom Lead Engineer (m/f/d)

• →Lead the integration of network components within large-scale HVDC/AC substation turnkey projects, coordinating with internal teams and external suppliers from design through delivery. 

• →Own in-house network design and drive the supplier delivery. 

• →Conduct comprehensive design reviews and interface alignment sessions, applying your knowledge to challenge supplier proposals and customer requirements, and driving resolution through structured technical queries. 

• →Evaluate and recommend solutions across redundancy protocols, routing configurations, and high-availability architectures to meet project-specific performance and reliability requirements. 

• →Share your expertise with less experienced colleagues, helping to build team capability and align technical approaches across the project. 

You are a telecom or network engineer (m/f/d) with proven hands-on experience in industrial or critical infrastructure environments. You bring a level of technical depth that allows you to both build and challenge — designing robust solutions while questioning assumptions that could compromise performance or safety.  

• A formal degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field is a plus, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements. 

• Cisco Platforms: experience with Cisco ASR 903 / IE9X series; ability to manage system resources, deeply understand the implementation aspects, configuration, including the automated tools available. 

• MPLS & Core Routing: Advanced configuration of MPLS L3VPNs, LDP and RSVP-TE.  

• DWDM/Optical: Practical understanding of active and passive components for multiplexing and amplification as well as FO cabling, splicing and patching. 

• Layer 2/3 Segmentation: Expert-level configuration of VLANs, sub-interfaces and complex VRF structures for multi-tenant environments. 

• Redundancy Protocols: Proven track record in configuring and testing High Availability features like BFD, HSRP/VRRP, and MPLS Fast Reroute to ensure sub-second convergence. 

• Routing Protocols: Deep-dive proficiency in BGP (MP-BGP, route maps, prefix-lists, community strings) and IGPs (OSPF or IS-IS) in a multi-area service provider environment. 

• Experience using automation and scripting tools — Python, AI-assisted tooling, or equivalent — to streamline everyday network engineering tasks. 

• Hands-on experience with network monitoring and packet capture tools such as Wireshark for troubleshooting and diagnostics. 

• Knowledge of Industrial Networks, related to substation Automation: PRP/RSTP/NTP/PTP protocols, IEC 104/61850-series standards for Substation Automation. 

• Cisco certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CCDE, CCIE) are valued, though demonstrable practical experience carries equal weight.
