Migration/ Translations experts. Looking for people who have experience in migrations and North American Translations, have experience extracting the core line and trunk Data fill from a donner Switch and can parse and build scripts and test the core Data-fill / translation for a new host switch as part of live migration.
Critical qualification: Direct, hands-on GTD-5 database table, polling, translations, or provisioning experience is required. General switch installation or hardware maintenance experience alone is not sufficient.
GTD-5 EAX Telecom Engineer for a remote contract supporting a major U.S. incumbent telecommunications carrier with an extensive legacy GTD-5 network. This specialized role focuses on database analysis and provisioning. The successful candidate must be able to independently navigate GTD-5 database structures, select the correct tables and commands, interpret raw switch output, and convert the information into accurate, organized reports. The anticipated project includes several hundred switching sites and has the potential to continue for multiple years. Project duration, workload, and continuation will depend on customer authorization, site volume, performance, and ongoing requirements; no minimum contract duration is guaranteed.
Job Duties & Responsibilities-Remotely access GTD-5 switches, poll the appropriate database tables, analyze the returned information, and prepare clear site-level reports for engineering and network-planning analysis.
