About this role
SARACA is seeking an experienced L0 Optical Architect to drive end-to-end Open Line System architecture and Flex Grid DWDM solutions for next-generation optical transport networks. The role focuses on system architecture, software integration, optical optimization, and ecosystem alignment, rather than hardware development.
Responsibilities:
- Drive end-to-end Open Line System (OLS) architecture and Flex Grid DWDM solutions
- Focus on system architecture, software integration, optical optimization, and ecosystem alignment
Requirements:
- Flex Grid DWDM Systems
- Open Line Systems (OLS) & Disaggregated Optical Architectures
- Open ROADM Specifications & YANG Models
- Coherent Optics, Modulation Schemes & Optical Impairments
- SDN Concepts & Layer-0 Automation
- EDFA/Raman Amplifier Optimization
- Flex-Grid WSS Technologies
- Interoperability Validation & Multi-Vendor Optical Environments
- End-to-end OLS architecture ownership
- Trade-off analysis across cost, scale, openness & performance
- Open ROADM / TIP / OIF ecosystem exposure
- Optical power, OSNR & spectral management
- Layer-0 resiliency and automation
