RF Engineer

MUST HAVE:
Solid RF Design experience especially working on National RF teams and being SME on design process.

Scripting skills especially with python

Primary responsibilities include (but may vary as needed):

Perform RF design activities related to building the first standalone 5G broadband network in the US.
Optimize the endtoend RF design propagation modeling and prediction for deployment of Macro Cell deployment.
Determine equipment and power configurations.
Work with eNB/RAN and UE teams on RF solutions including modifications to RF link budgets on a persite level basis to meet operations requirements.
Perform site candidate evaluation and selection as well as site walks.
Work with RF Management to establish design criteria link budget and traffic analysis as needed for network design and update existing performance parameters for ongoing improvements as required.
Manage projects/processes working independently with limited or no supervision..
Coach and review the work of lowerlevel professionals
Will be expected to be mostly selfmanaged but may require assistance from management or peers


The ideal RF Engineer will have:
BSEE/BSCS degree and/or at least 3 years of relevant LTE RF Design working experience and 5 years overall wireless experience in Design/Optimization or Operations roles including RF support of Site
Acquisition and site Construction teams. Related Degree and Experience will be taken into consideration in lieu of BSEE/BSCS.
Cellular/Mobile Technology proficiency in 4G/5G and NR theory and practical experience.
Experience with macro and small cell nominal and final RF designs including development operations RF KPIs and maintenance of RF link budgets for 3GPP technologies.
Full proficiency in setting up calibration utilization and data processing of various LTE design and optimization equipment and software.
Working knowledge of at least two of the common industry propagation/planning tools (like Planet or Atoll) and experience with model calibrations.
Working knowledge of drive test data postprocessing map generation frequency planning interference matrix analysis and site database maintenance using Windcatcher/Actix/Accuver.

Understanding of equipment colocation requirements for multiple operators and experience performing intermodulation and other external interference analysis.
