Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Wireless Network Engineer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in the design, deployment, and optimization of both enterprise Wi-Fi and private LTE networks. This role is critical to delivering cutting-edge wireless solutions for our clients and involves a combination of remote design and hands-on, on-site implementation. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of a wireless network deployment, from initial surveys and design to final optimization and handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Network Design & Planning: Design and architect end-to-end wireless solutions encompassing Wi-Fi (802.11ax/ac) and private LTE/5G networks based on customer requirements.
• Site Surveys & RF Analysis: Conduct active and passive site surveys, RF spectrum analysis, and predictive modeling to ensure optimal network performance and coverage.
• Deployment & Integration: Lead the on-site deployment, installation, and configuration of wireless network hardware, including Wi-Fi access points, LTE radios (eNodeB), and associated controllers.
• Core Network Collaboration: Work closely with core network engineers to ensure seamless integration of the Radio Access Network (RAN) with the Evolved Packet Core (EPC).
• Optimization & Troubleshooting: Perform post-deployment network analysis, performance tuning, and advanced troubleshooting to resolve connectivity, interference, and capacity issues.
• Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation, including high-level designs (HLD), low-level designs (LLD), network diagrams, and operational guides.
• Travel: Travel to customer sites (up to 50%) to lead deployment projects, conduct site assessments, and provide expert-level support.

Qualifications & Experience

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related technical field.
• 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in designing and deploying complex wireless networks.
• Strong expertise in enterprise Wi-Fi, including a deep understanding of 802.11 standards (Wi-Fi 6/6E is a plus), controllers, and authentication protocols (802.1x).
• Proven experience with LTE networks, including knowledge of RAN components, LTE architecture, and RF principles.
• Proficiency with industry-standard design and analysis tools (e.g., Ekahau, iBwave, Wireshark, spectrum analyzers).
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50%, both domestically and potentially internationally.

Preferred:

• Experience with Private Cellular Networks (CBRS, 5G NR).
• Familiarity with Evolved Packet Core (EPC) components such as MME, SGW, and PGW.
• Industry certifications such as CWNA, CWDP, CWAP, CCNA/CCNP Wireless, or similar.
• Experience with scripting or automation (e.g., Python, Ansible) is a plus.
