The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14.0pt">We are looking for a person who enjoys creating new solutions from concept to prototype — from idea generation, through design and programming, to testing and commissioning.
