Wireless Engineer

RF Engineer - Wireless Networks
Role Summary:
The RF Engineer is responsible for the planning, design, optimization, and performance analysis of mobile radio networks (2G/3G/4G/5G), including private LTE/5G deployments. This role involves hands-on work with RAN equipment, drive testing, KPI analysis, and technical leadership in network rollout and enhancement projects.
Key Responsibilities:

• Design and optimize mobile networks across multiple technologies (2G, 3G, LTE, 5G NSA/SA).
• Conduct RF coverage analysis, parameter tuning, and KPI optimization.
• Perform Single Site Verification (SSV), drive tests, and field validations.
• Lead network planning for private LTE/5G deployments in industrial environments (e.g., mining).
• Prepare and review technical documentation (HLD/LLD) for network solutions.
• Configure and troubleshoot RAN equipment (Nokia, Huawei).
• Analyze throughput, access failures, drop calls, and mobility issues.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams for network rollout and performance improvements.
• Support swap projects and vendor interoperability (e.g., Ericsson to Huawei).
• Mentor junior engineers and lead small technical teams when required.

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics or Telecommunications Engineering.
• 10+ years of experience in RF design and optimization.
• Proficiency in RF planning tools (Atoll, Genex Cloud), drive test tools (Nemo, Actix, Huawei Probe).
• Strong understanding of LTE/5G technologies including DSS, n78, 26GHz.
• Experience in private LTE/5G network design for industrial applications.
• Familiarity with GIS tools (QGIS, MapInfo, ArcGIS).
• Basic knowledge of Python and SQL for data analysis.
• Certifications in 5G optimization, SRAN solutions, and CCNA are a plus.
• Fluent in Spanish; advanced written English.

• Experience working with mining clients (e.g., BHP, Escondida, Spence).
• Proven leadership in RF teams and strategic project execution.
• Ability to produce high-level reports and present technical findings.
