Gis Developer

**Role description**:
The development engineer will be responsible for the design of the network.

**The context**:
As part of the rollout of our fibre optic network, it is essential to have a high-performance network that can be constructed up to the customer's site in a cost-efficient manner.

**Job content**:
You will work within a small team on the future of the (automatic) design of fibre optic networks (network design). Specific software is used for this (Comsof Fiber). This software and the data that is used to run this software, is continuously improved. It is either adapted to the latest design rules, optimised together with the supplier, simulations are used to search for potential improvements,.

Creating and checking network designs with Comsof will be the basics tasks you start with.
- You ensure that the necessary input data is available to be able to make the designs. This data can come from various sources, e.g. GRB, URBIS, PICC, databases, street survey data,...
- You monitor the data quality of this input, which is necessary for the design routines to work (possibly by using specific tools).
- You know the design rules that are applied in the routines and cooperate with others to let those design rules evolve

This can spin-off into projects, some with important responsibilities, which you can lead (e.g. we have now a new mobile mapping project being started with external companies).

**Competences required**:
Master’s degree
Experience with GIS tools (QGIS, ArcGIS, etc.).
Experience with programming in a GIS environment (Python, FME).
Experience with processing large quantities of data (big data) and experience with monitoring data quality within such an environment.
Knowledge of network construction (fibre optic/copper) or experience within the telcom world is an advantage.
