Our Customer is a Telecom & ICT company operating in Belgium and on the international markets, providing services to consumers, businesses and the public sector.
Their advanced interconnected fixed and mobile networks offer access anywhere and anytime to digital services and data, as well as to a broad offering of multimedia content.
They invest in future-proof networks and innovative solutions, creating the foundations for sustainable growth.

Description: Fibre Design Automation

The context:

As part of the rollout of our fibre optic network, it is essential to have a high-performance network that can be installed at the customer's site in a cost-efficient manner.
This network is therefore designed using the latest applications, which enable us to design such optimised networks in a short space of time.

Job content:

You will work within a small team on the future of the (automatic) design of fibre optic networks (network design). Specific software is used for this (Comsof Fiber). This software is regularly updated. It is either adapted to the latest design rules, optimised together with the supplier, or searches for the best adjustments by means of simulations.

Your tasks will be to create and check network designs, to constantly evolve the tools used and to optimise the input data used. In addition, special projects or simulations are regularly carried out.

- You ensure that the necessary input data is available to be able to make the designs. This data can come from various sources, e.g. GRB, URBIS, PICC, street survey data, ...
- You monitor the data quality of this input, which is necessary for the design routines to work (possibly by using specific tools).
- You know the design rules that are applied in the routines
- You check the calculated designs


You make use of tools and algorithms used within geographical design tools (typically GIS applications, e.g. QGIS).

Besides the design function, you play an important role in the continuous optimisation of the tools used. This may be by formulating process improvements yourself, and discussing these with the various actors in the process, or by optimising the ecosystem in which you work. These can be adjustments to IT applications and/or architecture, proposing automations, adding intelligence, etc.
