We’re hiring an RF Manager to lead our RF Department — a team of iBwave designers, PCTEL walk testers, and system performance engineers and commissioners — delivering Public Safety DAS (ERCES/BDA) and Cellular DAS from design through AHJ and carrier acceptance.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You’ll own design quality, code compliance, and system performance on every project, and you’ll be the authority your team and our AHJs rely on.
Lead, mentor, and manage the RF team: iBwave designers, PCTEL walk/grid testers, and performance/commissioning engineers.
Review and approve iBwave designs for Public Safety (ERCES/BDA) and cellular DAS before submittal to AHJs, carriers, and clients.
Serve as technical lead for AHJ coordination — code interpretation (NFPA 72/1221, IFC, state/local amendments), plan review submittals, and resolution of comments through final acceptance.
Ensure designs meet code-required signal levels, survivability, and battery backup requirements, and carrier KPIs (RSRP, SINR, throughput) on cellular systems.
Oversee grid, sweep, and PIM testing, commissioning, and acceptance testing; drive troubleshooting and optimization when systems miss thresholds.
Set and maintain design standards, documentation, as-builts, and permit packages; translate code changes into updated standards.
Support sales engineering with conceptual designs, BOMs, and technical scope for proposals.

Advanced RF theory: propagation, link budgets, antenna theory, interference, and performance metrics.
Deep knowledge of Public Safety DAS/ERCES code requirements (NFPA, IFC) and direct AHJ/fire marshal experience through permitting and acceptance.
5+ years in in-building wireless (DAS/ERCES/BDA), including leading designers or field teams.
Hands-on experience with PCTEL (or equivalent) walk testing, grid testing, sweep and PIM testing, and RF test equipment.
Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
GROL License
Design experience on DAS platforms from ADRF, Comba, Corning, JMA, SOLiD, Andrew, or similar; BDA manufacturer certifications.
