Job Description

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).
