What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a telecom networks role where I can validate and deploy reliable infrastructure for 5G, lead technical teams, and own network testing, configuration, and incident/commissioning support in real project environments.

I’m a Telecommunications & Networks engineer currently working as a Validation and Verification Team Lead in the Network Domain Team. I focus on making network services dependable through rigorous testing and structured validation.

In my current role, I set up a network test bench in a laboratory to perform redundancy tests for DHCP/DNS services and routing functionality. I also configure network settings for train equipment for different routing/coupling services, manage network projects for specific train/metro/tram lines, and lead a team of 6 network validation professionals.

Previously, I worked as a consultant supporting Dark Fiber deployment on equipment from NOKIA, Huawei, and Ericsson in a Swiss network (SALT). I contributed to migration from radio/fiber transmission to Dark Fiber and configured Nokia 3G/4G radio cabinets for project needs.

Earlier, as an IP Qualification Agent with Rhôn-Telecom, I supported IP qualification for 5G deployment for SFR in France. I handled provisioning/deprovisioning for IP for 2G, 3G, and 4G cabinets, upgraded CPE infrastructure (including CISCO ASR901 and Huawei ATN910B to Huawei ATN910C), performed equipment audits and configuration preparation, and supported commissioning, remote control of routers, and incident management.
