Key Responsibilities

Lead RF design, planning, and optimization activities for LTE and 5G networks. Develop and optimize network designs using RF planning tools such as Atoll and Planet EV. Perform coverage, capacity, and link budget analysis, including antenna tilt/azimuth optimization and new site recommendations. Analyze network KPIs, Layer 3 signaling, drive test data, and performance statistics to identify and resolve accessibility, retainability, mobility, and handover issues. Optimize network performance through parameter tuning, feature activation, carrier additions, and traffic analysis. Support deployment of technologies including 5G NR, Massive MIMO, mmWave, CBRS, LAA, IoT, and LTE. Utilize optimization and drive test tools such as TEMS, Actix, Agilent, R&S, and network management platforms. Lead technical activities across multiple projects while coordinating with cross-functional teams and customers. Provide recommendations to improve overall network design, performance, and operational efficiency.

Required Qualifications
