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).
