Telecom Engineer

We are seeking a Telecom Engineer with 2-5 years of experience to support wireless design, field validation, construction drawings, lab testing, and wireless infrastructure engineering. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in preliminary RF design using Infovista Planet, GIS tools (such as ArcGIS, QGIS), and field/site engineering support. This role bridges design and deployment for private LTE (pLTE), requiring both analytical and practical engineering skills. The candidate will contribute to coverage modeling, site evaluations, construction drawings review (redlining), and RF lab testing. Responsibilities include performing path surveys, optimizing wireless systems, configuring radio equipment, preparing radio and antenna installation documentation, and supporting clients in the field work. This position offers opportunities to collaborate with cross functional teams and engage with major wireless equipment providers such as Nokia, Ericsson, and others. Occasional travel to client sites for path and site surveys, inspections, and system validation is required.
