The role reports to the Senior Director Group Strategy Engineering and Innovation (GSEI) / Network Transmission.
The Senior Engineer contributes to the definition and evolution of Singtel Groups IP Transport architecture supporting the development of standards roadmaps and reference designs. The role works closely with domain architects OpCos and vendors to ensure architectural alignment technical soundness and smooth implementation across a multi-vendor environment.
The role focuses on both architectural design and practical implementation considerations supporting the migration from legacy transport networks toward modern IP architectures including Segment Routing (SR-MPLS / SRv6) EVPN automation and controller-based networking models. The role also drives the evolution of Transport Networks as an Autonomous Domain within the Groups Autonomous Networks (AN) architecture enabling higher levels of automation closed-loop assurance and domain intelligence aligned with AN maturity target.
