What You Will Be Doing
\n
- \n
- Analyze legacy TDM voice configurations and determine translations required for migration to SIP/CSP infrastructure.
- Design and implement translations for call routing, trunking, signaling, screening, numbering, and traffic migration.
- Support migration of voice trunks, signaling, and ancillary TDM services.
- Develop MOPs, scripts, command sequences, test plans, validation procedures, and back-out plans.
- Perform pre-change analysis to identify routing conflicts, signaling issues, dependencies, capacity concerns, and potential service impacts.
- Implement approved network changes during scheduled maintenance windows.
- Perform post-migration testing and validation of call routing, trunks, signaling, and network functions.
- Troubleshoot TDM/SIP interoperability, translations, signaling, and call-processing issues.
- Coordinate with network engineering, operations, transport, signaling teams, project managers, and vendors, including Ribbon and Stratus.
