RF RAN Mobile Radio Networks Engineer

A team of RF network planners who provide support to the regional system engineering teams throughout EMEA. The support includes
a) pre-sale planning (including proposal development)
b) post-sale implementation (including coverage and frequency planning, RF site configuration, coverage verification – drive tests)
c) radio network optimisation or troubleshooting (including performance analysis, parameter settings, drive test analysis, physical or parameter modifications on site/system level)

Scope of Responsibilities:

The selected individual will specifically support current TETRA projects in Poland. Responsible for all activities related to the RF domain in roll-out projects, including but not limited to: radio network planning, site design, candidate selection, frequency planning, reviewing technical design drawings for RF sites, coordinating drive test teams during the measurement campaign, and analysing drive test results.

The responsibilities include:

• Creating detailed RF network plans, including coverage maps, frequency plans, neighbour lists, equipment lists, and coverage verification plans.
• RF site search and candidate selection,
• RF site design as input for implementation team (including design for sites co-located with other radio operators)
• Reviewing technical documentation (RF site technical design drawings and Site Survey Reports) against planned configuration
• Analysing drive test data for optimisation and coverage acceptance, and producing reports.

Specific Knowledge and Skills:
Suitable candidates will have 3+ years of experience in planning mobile radio networks (either commercial mobile phone networks or private LMR networks). Ideally, candidates will also have experience of hands-on implementation of such networks (e.g. site RF design, installation, and commissioning). Successful candidates are likely to hold a BSc or higher Degree in a Telecommunications related subject.

The following skills are considered essential:

• A track record of successfully planning Radio Access Networks (RANs) for large mobile communications networks
• Proficient with radio network planning software application (HTZ, ICS Telecom).
• Experience in collecting and analysing drive test data and creating reports
• Fluent in spoken and written Polish and English
• Good communication skills and confidence to present solutions to the project team and/or customers

The following skills are considered desirable:
• Good understanding of mobile radio technologies (3GPP 2G/3G/4G and/or ETSI TETRA)
• Experience in TETRA radio network planning and implementation
• Hands-on experience of RAN implementation (e.g., site surveys, site RF design, including co-located installations, installation, and commissioning)
• Proficient with GIS tools such as QGIS, Global Mapper, or MapInfo
• Experience in transmission network planning, including microwave link planning, including the use of PathLoss
• Experience of radio planning in a pre-sales environment (e.g., proposal response, customer presentations, etc.)
