Skills Microwave (MW) Transport Systems, RF design, and wireless site/infrastructure engineering experience needed Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet experience needed Microwave backhaul design/systems experience Wireless systems integration Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other engineering degree related to Communications Eligible to work in the US without sponsorship Professional Engineering License (PE) is preferred but not required 5+ years of wireless communications related work experience. 10 yrs. max experience (must have MW experience) Utility experience is strongly preferred Experience with client facing presentations and delivering technical workshops Experience writing and delivering MOPs, processes, testing procedures and technical documents Overview Seeking an experienced Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer with strong expertise in Microwave (MW) transport systems, RF Design, and wireless site/infrastructure engineering . In this role, you will design, plan, engineer, and optimize point-to-point and point-to-multipoint microwave links, and support broader wireless system deployments across utility, industrial, and government environments. The engineer will utilize tools such as Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet to perform end-to-end MW link design, fading analysis, path profiling, and path feasibility studies. You will also support wireless system engineering activities including creating installation drawings, generating Bills of Materials (BOMs), and preparing cost estimates for wireless solutions. You will independently execute advanced wireless engineering tasks, provide technical leadership, and serve as a subject matter expert (SME) in MW backhaul design, wireless system integration, and field validation. Responsibilities include performing path surveys, validating MW RF designs, optimizing system performance, configuring radio equipment, preparing radio and antenna installation documentation, and supporting clients through all stages of the wireless system lifecycle. This position offers opportunities to collaborate with cross functional teams and engage with major MW and wireless equipment providers such as Nokia, Aviat, Ericsson, and others. Occasional travel to client sites for path and site surveys, inspections, and system validation is required. As a Wireless Engineer, you will lead and execute MW and Wireless engineering activities across the full project lifecycle—from initial survey and design through implementation, testing, and optimization. You will act as a technical specialist in Microwave backhaul systems, advising clients on system performance, coverage, interference mitigation, reliability, and compliance with applicable standards. The RF engineer will utilize Pathloss 6 and Infovista Planet to design and optimize MW and other wireless networks. The RF Engineer may support proposal development, scope refinement, level-of-effort (LOE) estimation, and technical evaluations for project pursuits. Engineering Design Duties Perform link budget calculations, reliability analysis, and path feasibility studies for wireless systems. Design, model, and optimize MW links using Pathloss 6, including terrain profiling, diffraction analysis, fade margin calculations, and link availability. Conduct MW path surveys, including line-of-site (LOS) verification, obstacle identification, structure validation, and documentation. Optimize MW links for capacity, availability, and interference mitigation within licensed and unlicensed bands. Evaluate and integrate MW radio platforms (Nokia, Aviat, or other vendors). Review and validate MW radio and antenna configurations, tower loading considerations, and equipment specifications. Design, model, and optimize wireless technologies, such as Narrow Band, LTE/5G, Land Mobile Radio, using Infovista Planet, including coverage analysis, frequency assignment, and interference analysis. General Engineering Duties Support RFP responses, LOE calculations, and technical evaluations of client requirements. Serve as a technical specialist for MW to communicate complex RF engineering concepts to technical and nontechnical stakeholders. Collaborate with project management to meet project scope, schedule, and budget goals. Create comprehensive Bill of Materials (BoM) for telecom sites Document and implement site installation standards including grounding for telecom equipment Provide guidance on construction drawings Support equipment installation and site integration on-site Hands‑on configuration experience with MW radios is a plus. Support business development and pursuit activities. Education Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or other engineering degree related to Communications.
