Senior Telecom OSS/BSS Engineer, Guindy, Chennai
A telecom-focused team in Guindy, Chennai is hiring a Senior Telecom OSS/BSS Engineer for a full-time, on-site role paying up to ₹127,000 a month. Five and a half years of hands-on experience is expected, and the role sits at a senior level where independent judgment matters as much as technical depth.
Baseline qualifications
Candidates need a bachelor's degree, generally in electronics or computer science, along with a recognized networking certification such as CCNA or CCNP. Beyond the paper credentials, the company wants a genuinely solid grasp of networking protocols, routing, and infrastructure management, the kind that only really develops from years spent actually running these systems rather than studying them.
What the role covers
- Configure and maintain OSS/BSS systems alongside the underlying network hardware they run on
- Troubleshoot connectivity and service issues that affect telecom operations directly
- Monitor network performance and security continuously, not just when something visibly breaks
- Plan capacity ahead of subscriber growth so infrastructure doesn't become the bottleneck
A billing system that starts throwing intermittent errors right after a network upgrade is the kind of problem that lands squarely in this role. Working out whether it's a provisioning mismatch, a routing change, or something in the OSS layer itself takes real cross-domain knowledge, not just familiarity with one piece of the stack.
Skills required
The role centers on OSS/BSS systems, solid telecom domain knowledge, working with SQL for querying and validating data, and dependable troubleshooting instincts across the whole stack. These four show up constantly, and a gap in any of them tends to surface quickly once a real incident hits.
What strengthens an application
None of the following are mandatory, but they help: direct experience with a major OSS/BSS platform such as Amdocs, Netcracker, or Oracle; an ITIL certification for candidates coming from a service-management background; and prior exposure to billing or provisioning systems specifically, rather than just general network operations.
Pay and benefits
Compensation up to ₹127,000 per month. The package includes health insurance, paid time off, and performance-linked bonuses. Naukri Mitra's listing also notes on-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support, both genuinely useful given how much of Chennai's tech workforce commutes into Guindy daily.
Working in Guindy
Guindy has long been one of Chennai's established industrial and IT zones, with a strong concentration of telecom and networking employers. Anyone comparing telecom OSS/BSS engineer jobs in Guindy, Chennai, against similar roles elsewhere in the city will find that the commute support here meaningfully offsets Guindy's traffic during peak hours. For candidates checking telecom OSS/BSS engineer salaries in Chennai per month against this listing, ₹127,000 aligns reasonably with a senior role requiring both a networking certification and multi-year OSS/BSS experience.
Applying
A resume should be specific about which OSS/BSS platforms a candidate has worked with directly and what kinds of incidents they've resolved, not just a general claim of telecom experience. This listing is squarely aimed at telecom OSS/BSS engineer jobs for experienced professionals in Chennai, so candidates without the required certification or years of experience should expect early filtering. Interviews typically include a scenario-based technical discussion covering both networking fundamentals and OSS/BSS-specific troubleshooting, so it helps to be ready to walk through a real incident from start to resolution.
