About this role
Key Responsibilities
• Develop iDAS and oDAS designs using iBwave Design software to meet carrier and public safety coverage objectives. • Perform RF link budgets, capacity analysis, and propagation modeling across multiple frequency bands (700/850/1900/2100 MHz, CBRS, 5G NR). • Create detailed design packages, including floor plans, schematics, BOMs, and construction-ready documents. • Conduct and/or review walk test data, CW tests, PIM/Sweep tests, and validate results against design criteria. • Support system commissioning, integration, and optimization in collaboration with Field Engineering teams. • Work with carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) to ensure design compliance and KPI acceptance. • Participate in RFP/RFI responses, providing technical input, design proposals, and cost estimates. • Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and collaborate across departments (Sales Engineering, PM, Field Ops). • Ensure designs comply with AHJ, NFPA, and local building code requirements for public safety DAS. • Document results and prepare closeout deliverables, including test reports, acceptance packages, and “as-built” updates.
Qualifications
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Telecommunications Engineering, Computer Systems, or related field. • 3+ years of hands-on DAS RF design experience (iDAS/oDAS, ERRCS, small cells, or related). • Proficiency with iBwave Design (Level 1/2 certification or higher preferred). • Strong understanding of RF fundamentals (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, PIM, noise figures, intermodulation). • Experience with test equipment: PCTel scanners, Anritsu/JDSU spectrum analyzers, OTDR, sweep testers. • Familiarity with major DAS OEM platforms (CommScope OneCell/ERA, Corning ONE/Everon, SOLiD, JMA/Teko, ADRF, SpiderCloud). • Strong technical writing and documentation skills. • Ability to travel 25–50% as required for site walks, testing, and commissioning.
Preferred:
• iBwave Level 3 certification. • Experience with 5G NR, CBRS/Private LTE, and Wi-Fi 6 design and optimization. • Prior carrier-facing experience for design reviews, KPI acceptance, and troubleshooting. • Knowledge of AutoCAD/Revit for design integration. • Familiarity with public safety DAS requirements (NFPA 72/1221, IFC codes).
