Accountable for Ericsson Node B MSN IMA assignments to the Tellabs 8860 router in the Chicago Market after receipt of Customer Inquiry Questionnaires. Filled out CIQ with required MSN information, which include T1 amount and status, in or out of service then return to RNC Engineer within the required SLA which will be used by the vendor for the re-parenting.
Accountable for determining the number of IMT’s circuits needed between MSC’s to support the re-parenting. Completed the Granite revisions to complete the re-parenting and produced the cut sheets. Accountable for updating and maintaining the MSN_EDP spreadsheet where all the MSN IMA ports assignments are kept. Created trouble tickets for operations to perform re-parenting.

Supervisor: Mr. Tim Demos 630-***-****, may be contacted.
In charge of the detailed design and engineering of new network elements and expansions. Prepared plans for integration into the existing network. Developed detailed engineering design packages (EDP’s) for work related to a given switching location. Provided tiered support to other technical team members during implementation. Network elements included Nortel MSC, Ericsson MSC, Nortel BSC, Ericsson BSC, and Nokia BSC. Determined system specifications, input/output processes and working parameters for hardware/software compatibility. Coordinated design of subsystems and integration of total system. Used Remedy to verify incoming tickets for completeness and accuracy. Understand line attributes for DS0’s, DS1’s, DS3’s and Optical circuits. Completed Granite Circuit revisions for Node B and 2G site reparenting, circuit adds and decommissions after reparenting. Followed all Engineering Guidelines and Standards. Completed circuit tracking in both Granite and on separate spreadsheet. Completed designs and requirement by Service Level Agreement times and forward circuit design to the required team via Remedy. Confirmed T1 condition via loop back testing from DCS to Network Interface Unit. Addressed T1 integration errors though testing.
Transport Engineer 12/2006 – 10/2007

Accountable for strategic planning of fiber optic rings in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Developed plans for network expansion and backhaul overview. Developed new network topology plan (collapsing rings for more efficient use). Used Remedy to verify incoming tickets for completeness and accuracy. Managed Point to Point DS3 capacity and ordered Point to Point DS3’s as needed. Developed a plan to move Point to Point DS3 for other vendors to ATT.
Used JaX to redesign where T1s would enter the ring nodes on the Dark Fiber Network and to decide where carrier hubs are needed. Utilized Granite to update circuit information in the Granite database to correct the database for better overall knowledge of the network. Centralized Ticketing System to start the progress of migrating circuits to the Dark Fiber and re-grooming T1s to the best DS3 for a more efficient and cost effective network. Requested for quotes for DS3s and OCn in the network. Used MapInfo to conduct a Growth summary of hubs to decide if expansion of a hub were needed. Aided in Engineering of Microwave paths though out the network and decided which was no longer needed or which should be upgraded.

Employer: Tellabs
Naperville, Illinois
Supervisor: Mr. Don Jensen
Engineered the Tellabs Traffic Management Services processes for traffic transfers, facility replacements, and legacy product replacements. Performed on-site detailed office audits. Identified a complete physical address for each circuit based upon the Site Survey and Scope of Work. Developed an overview of the cutout, network topology drawings, and a Method of Procedure (MOP) documentation detailing the technical procedures for the cutout. Re-engineered network (backbone interconnect) configurations for optimum usage. Created technical procedures, listing the individual cutout steps and contingency procedures. Managed circuit churn, which may require corrections to the engineering plans. Exercised administrative responsibilities that ensured engineering continuity and efficiency in the MOP and the project timelines. Demonstrated the ability to establish and maintain a good relationship with all involved in the TMS project team.
