  • Review and approve system integrator reports, ensuring compliance with carrier KPIs.
  • Analyze system health data, including Layer 3 messaging KPIs and carrier RAN metrics, and conduct quality control checks.
  • Perform routine health checks, preventative maintenance, and ensure system performance aligns with original turn-up standards.
  • Generate internal and external performance reports for stakeholders.
  • Conduct system testing, including RF sweep, fiber testing, PIM, and carrier handset testing.
  • Remotely monitor venues, troubleshooting issues, and coordinate subcontractor dispatch when necessary.
  • Build relationships with service providers to enhance system performance through data analysis.
  • Perform benchmark testing, RF site surveys, and create as-builts for new and existing venues.
  • Execute system modifications and additions, including DAS, Small Cell, and Wi-Fi equipment installations, rack stacking, and cable routing.
  • Work with hand and power tools, coaxial PPC compression tools, Cat5/6 terminations, and RF test equipment.
  • Maintain strong technical knowledge of wireless network products and ensure compliance with safety, business conduct, and quality assurance standards.

Requirements:
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience as a DAS or Cellular Field Engineer.
  • Familiarity with DAS OEMs (e.g., CommScope, JMA, Corning Mobile Access, SOLiD) and their performance benchmarks.
  • Experience managing subcontractors remotely across large regions.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, RF schematics (iBwave / Ekahau), and blueprints.
  • Proficiency in updating reports and trouble tickets.
  • Physical ability to lift 50 lbs., work outdoors, on ladders, and in confined spaces.
  • Experience with electrical wiring, ESD products, and working in construction or installation environments with minimal supervision.
  • Certifications in test equipment (e.g., Anritsu Sweep Master) and connector coring / compression techniques.
  • Basic LAN Layer 1 & 2 troubleshooting, including Cisco CLI knowledge.
  • Formal training or equivalent hands-on experience in basic installation procedures.
  • Willingness to travel within the Southwest region for up to a week and occasionally work shifts outside regular hours.
