Telecoms Engineer Position
Hitachi Rail is seeking an enthusiastic self-motivated Telecoms Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
About the Role:
* The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, integrating, and implementing communications infrastructure projects encompassing IP/MPLS transport networks, radio sites, voice and data communication systems, fibre optic and copper-based transmission systems, and associated ancillary subsystems.
* As a key member of the Communications Engineering team, you will lead the end-to-end engineering lifecycle of mission-critical communications networks, with a strong focus on the design, configuration, and integration of secure and highly available IP network solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop high-level and low-level design documentation, including architecture diagrams, network design reports, and integration procedures.
* Configure, integrate, and test network equipment across multi-vendor platforms, primarily Cisco and Juniper routing and switching infrastructure.
* Perform site and factory acceptance testing, including pre-commissioning, commissioning, and network Migration activities.
* Lead fault isolation, network diagnostics, and root cause analysis across transport and access layers.
* Ensure network designs comply with safety, security, and redundancy requirements, especially in rail and mission-critical environments.
* Mentor and support junior engineers, contributing to skills development and knowledge transfer across the engineering team.
* Produce technical documentation and implementation procedures in accordance with engineering standards and stakeholder requirements.
Requirements:
* A minimum of 10 years' experience as a Network Engineer with hands-on design, configuration, and integration experience in critical infrastructure environments.
* Cisco CCNP and/or Juniper JNCIS/JNCIP certifications.
* A Bachelor's degree in engineering (Electrical, Telecommunications, or related field), eligible for or holding full membership with Engineers Australia.
* Extensive knowledge and hands-on implementation experience with Cisco MPLS, BGP, and OSPF technologies, as well as Cisco Nexus platforms, including vPC, VDC, and data center architecture design.
* Proven experience designing and deploying highly available, redundant network architectures for large-scale infrastructure projects.
* Strong experience with traffic engineering (MPLS TE/FRR), QoS, ACLs, and secure VPN design.
* Demonstrated experience authoring engineering documents such as detailed designs, integration test plans, and technical change implementation procedures.
* Experience working within rail communications, signalling networks, or similar operational technology (OT) environments is highly desirable.
* Strong project experience with the ability to manage competing priorities, multitask effectively, and meet tight deadlines in fast-paced delivery environments.
