Lucent Technologies: Westford, Mass: Springtide Development
Business Title: Corporate Systems Engineer
Job Function: Systems Engineering for Lucent Product Springtide 5000/7000
For my last year with Lucent, I was part of the corporate systems engineering team for the
IP Services Switch (Springtide 7000). We functioned as pre-sales technical support for regional systems engineers and worked directly with software development to fix bugs found in the field or in our test cases.
Part of this process involved simulating large scale customer networks in a lab environment on which to create and automate test cases using perl, tcl, and c. The key to the success of our team was close communication with developers and the QA teams. With our processes, we were able to find and solve many problems before they were materialized by the customer.

It was our job to ensure quality network integration of national and global SONET and DWDM networks. We worked with multiple regional sales and installation teams. We were the direct link to product development when bugs were discoverd. I joined this group as a field engineer visiting different sites nationwide but I quickly migrated to a lead role where I organized and led the deployment of many large scale SONET and DWDM optical transport networks. To ensure a successful integration,I would create a high quality detailed Network Integration Plan including integration procedures, network diagrams and all necessary information. Network testing results would be added to the plan to create a complete Customer Turnover Package.
