About the role
Field Engineer Specialist
Vyve Broadband’s Engineering Field Engineers are responsible for performing headend and field maintenance operations as required. This role is responsible for ensuring that all video from the source to the STB is maintained at the highest level of quality and service. Duties to also include preventative maintenance and repair of headend Coax/Fiber distributions and other related duties as assigned.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
Video Network
· Design, configure, and maintain video delivery infrastructure including headend, hub, and edge facilities
· Manage RF video distribution across HFC plant including QAM modulation, spectrum allocation, and carrier planning
· Support MPEG transport workflows (MPEG2/H.264/H.265), multiplexing, statistical remux, and PSI/SI validation
· Configure and maintain video processing equipment such as encoders, IRD’s, transcoders, edge QAMs, and packagers
· Administer conditional access, DRM, and channel authorization systems
· Oversee channel lineup implementation including mapping, virtual channel tables, and PSIP management
· Maintain documentation of system architecture, channel plans, equipment configurations, and workflows
· Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (FCC signal leakage, EAS integration, CALM Act loudness, etc.)
· Plan and execute maintenance windows, upgrades, and migrations with minimal subscriber impact
· Coordinate cross functionally with field ops, transport/network teams, and programming/content providers
· Maintain inventory awareness and lifecycles tracking of headend/hub video equipment
· Follow established safety, change management, and operational procedures

· Correctly install cwdm/dwdm filters into fiber path. Differentiate between the use and need of a one fiber and two fiber solution
· Experience and knowledge using Fiber Optic Scope and or a Fiber OTDR. To include footage readings, recognition of high loss/high reflective events, proper wavelength, etc.
· Experience in using an optical power meter to include proper wavelength selection, db/dbm settings, and proper light levels
· Installation and dressing of fiber optic cables (vertical/horizontal).
· Provide management with detailed reports of field splicing activity to include splice enclosure, splicing, and path documentation.
· Maintain fiber asset inventory and ensure fusion splicers are kept clean. Keep truck and fiber trailer in a clean and orderly fashion
Coax Plant
· Testing and repair of system components and distribution HFC systems.
· Calculate system signal losses and make necessary adjustments to resolve problems
· Install in-line devi
